Which brands are cruelty free at Sephora

What are the cruelty free brands at Sephora?

If you’re a Sephora fanatic like me, you may be asking yourself which brands at Sephora are cruelty free? It’s nice to have a handy list to refer to, so I put together a cruelty free brands guide for Sephora that you can refer to while shopping. Keep in mind that Sephora adds new brands, and cuts brands from their shelves all the time so this list is subject to change. I’ll be updating it as we go. If there’s a brand that you’re curious about, but don’t see listed here, just leave a comment below, or DM me on social. I’m happy to help and will play detective if I don’t already know!

So here is the cruelty free guide below. It consists of cruelty free brands, grey area brands (brands that haven’t sufficiently answered my cruelty free questions) and brands to avoid (brands that DO test on animals or sell in China or other countries where testing is required by law). If you’re on a laptop of desktop computer, you can use Command or Control + F to search – just make sure you read the header so you’ll know if you’re looking at the good list or the bad list!

Pin this list on Pinterest to share the cruelty free knowledge!

Happy shopping! Please support the cruelty free beauty brands at Sephora whenever you can. Even if you’re not a strictly cruelty free consumer, my hope is that this guide can help if you’re deciding between two brands. If it’s a toss up between two products – please choose the one that’s cruelty free! And if you notice changes in Sephora brands, or don’t see your favorite brand listed, leave me a comment below.

    What about Dr. Denis Gross?

  2. Debbie Yoder says

    November 9, 2017 at 9:50 am

    Thank You for the list and information on these products,Ive been studying up lately on vegan and cruelty free! i will keep this for when i go shopping!

  3. Never Say Die Beauty says

    So helpful! Thank you for the list. I hope continued pressure on China to accept alternate forms of testing will prevail.

  4. chiefbunny says

    Dr Dennis Gross is listed in the grey area section – I have not been able to confirm if his brand is cruelty free.

  5. chiefbunny says

    November 9, 2017 at 10:34 am

    Awesome – glad I could help Debbie! I’ll be working on an Ulta guide next!

    Me too – it seems like we’re making some headway. Not a lot but some is better than none!

    This is incredibly helpful, thank you Jen!

    I met one of Dr. Gross’ representatives at Nordstrom who told me their brand was cruelty free. I was planning to purchase his line of skin care this weekend at Sephora VIP event. So disappointed he is in the grey area. Do you expect to receive any update from him soon? Not wanting to purchase his products now, so disappointing.

    Do you know if Verb hair care is cruelty-free? From what I can tell, they are but wanted to check with you. Thank you so much for all of this information! I am at about 99% cruelty free for cosmetics, hair and skin care!

  10. MarciaF says

    It’s disappointing to see the list of who does test. Some are obvious because they are owned by Estee Lauder and L’Oreal but some aren’t as obvious.

  11. chiefbunny says

    November 9, 2017 at 8:02 pm

    I’m not familiar with Verb – but I’ll look into it. Are they at Sephora stores?

  12. chiefbunny says

    November 9, 2017 at 8:03 pm

    Unfortunately, it seems like every customer service rep thinks whatever brand they are working for is cruelty free. I’ve seen many a MAC makeup artist tell people their products are cruelty free. I think that’s what they are taught by the brands!

  13. Kathryne says

    November 9, 2017 at 10:07 pm

    Thanks vor the updated list. It actually gets thinner for vegan, sigh. Hope one day companies would just abandon animal cruelty altogether.

  14. Shilpa Shetty says

    November 10, 2017 at 2:10 am

    Ohhh GlamGlow tests on Animals,.. i will not buy anymore,.. Thank you for this post,..

  15. violet szilvas says

    November 10, 2017 at 11:20 am

    Hi, Bare Minerals uses animal hair in their brushes. Since we don’t know the conditions these animals are kept in, cruel or otherwise, I think it needs to be added to their listing on Beauty Bunny. Thanks.

  16. Katy says

    November 13, 2017 at 6:57 pm

    Fenty Beauty actually got their peta certification. I kinda freaked out when I saw them on your pending list! Lol

  17. chiefbunny says

    November 14, 2017 at 11:31 am

    Hey Katy! I hadn’t heard about their PETA certification, but from what I have learned, PETA really doesn’t check their suppliers and they don’t audit after their initial certification. I really don’t trust them – I know that sucks. Logical Harmony and Phyrra have had the same issues with PETA’s list.

  18. Sandra Olivas says

    May 24, 2018 at 7:56 am

    Thank you so much for this list! I’ve been trying to become cruelty free this year and need all the help I can get!

  19. Sarah says

    July 14, 2018 at 10:19 am

    I’m curious to see if anyone knows about Fenty yet? It seems to be kinda up in the air on every cruelty free blog I check out. Either that, or it’s not even mentioned on any list. Thank you!

  20. chiefbunny says

    July 15, 2018 at 1:15 pm

    Still no word from Fenty, which worries me!

  21. Sarah says

    July 22, 2018 at 10:18 am

    Too bad about Fenty. For someone pale AF it’s really hard to find foundation that’s cruelty free and not yellow or orange toned. I know there’s Kat Von d’s which is great but it’s just too heavy for everyday wear.
    Also, what are we thinking about beauty blender now that they are breaking into the cosmetics side of the market? Do we know if they are planning to stay cruelty free?

  22. nahian says

    November 11, 2019 at 8:58 pm

    I appreciate your efforts to list out the brand names.

    SK -ii not cruelty-free? too bad. People love them here 🙁 and I was about to try them.
