Does Ulta Beauty, Inc. support Israel?
We have not yet found publicly recorded donations from Ulta Beauty, Inc.. Absence of records does not confirm absence of support.
Filed under: Beauty & cosmetics brands · Retail & supermarket chains · Companies that support Israel
Background
Ulta Beauty has no recorded donations, statements, or operations supporting Israel. It is a US-focused retailer: its fiscal 2025 annual report describes stores in the United States, a joint venture in Mexico (Grupo Axo), the Space NK chain in the UK and Ireland, and single franchise locations in Kuwait and the UAE run by Alshaya Group — Israel is not mentioned anywhere in the filing. Viral "does Ulta support Israel" posts on social media have no documented basis; like most beauty retailers it stocks thousands of third-party brands, which is not corporate support for any country. The company has no political action committee, and the Ulta Beauty Charitable Foundation's grants go to breast-cancer research and US women's and community organizations.
