After weeks of growing calls to pull Huda Beauty products from its stores, Sephora has acknowledged that is “actively reviewing” anti-Israel comments made by the mega-popular beauty brand’s founder, Huda Kattan.

Last week, TikTok removed an antisemitic video posted by the celebrity beauty mogul and influencer. Kattan, the founder and face of the billion-dollar brand Huda Beauty, shared a video to her more than 11 million followers on TikTok, accusing Israel of orchestrating World War I, World War II, the September 11 terrorist attacks and Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7.
