Is L'Oréal vegan?
Some brands under L'Oréal (e.g. Garnier's "Green Beauty" line, portions of NYX) offer vegan formulations, but L'Oréal Group is not on any recognised cruelty-free list.
Vegan means no animal-derived ingredients — beeswax, lanolin, carmine, collagen, silk or milk proteins — anywhere in the formula. It is a separate claim from cruelty-free, and a brand can be one without the other.
