Benefit does not test for or claim that our products are hypo-allergenic (least likely to cause an allergic reaction) or non-comedogenic (does not cause pimples & blackheads). If you have a specific allergy, please review the ingredients which are listed on the product page and contact your general practitioner to determine if a product is suitable for your skin.

Adverse reactions to gluten have never been verified after using cosmetic products, because gluten is not absorbed through the skin. To reassure our customers on the gluten issue, Benefit Cosmetics has enacted the following policies:

1. We no longer formulate with gluten as a cosmetic ingredient
2. We have high quality standards for ingredients derived from grain sources

Despite these precautions, trace levels of gluten could be present from some raw materials in all cosmetic products.

For people suffering from intolerance to gluten who choose to avoid the use of all products derived from grain sources, we recommend avoiding the following ingredients: Triticum vulgare (wheat), Avena sative, Secale cereal and Hordeum distichon.

Given our policies and the very low level of gluten residue exposure, we ensure that our cosmetic products are safe under normal and reasonable use.

Benefit does not test our products on animals.

Since 1989, the Perfumes & Cosmetics companies of LVMH group (including Benefit Cosmetics) have not performed any tests on animals for our products - this was implemented long before the 2013 official ban set by the European Union. We are deeply convinced that animal testing must come to an end and we are actively working on the development, validation, and acceptance of alternative methods to animal experimentation.

As a result, all Benefit products undergo very strict tolerance tests using non-animal methods during the development of each product to ensure quality and safety prior to market.

Benefit, like some other cosmetics brands, exports our products to countries worldwide and strictly adheres to the rules and laws enforced in each country where it operates. Regarding China, as of May 2021, “general” cosmetic products (which make up the bulk of our assortment) can be imported into China without having to be tested on animals. This is important progress; however, the government authorities still require cosmetics companies to make “special” cosmetics available for testing. 

We at Benefit are deeply committed to the elimination of all animal testing and support this crucial step toward a progressive future.

According to the Provisions for Management of Cosmetic Registration and Notification Dossiers, which were published on March 4th, 2021 by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), "special” cosmetics include: for example hair dyes, hair perming products, freckle-removing products, sunscreens and anti-hair loss products.
