    About

    Haus Laboratories, now known as Haus Labs, is the cosmetics brand founded by Lady Gaga. It launched on September 17, 2019, as the first major beauty label to debut exclusively on Amazon, rolling out simultaneously in nine countries: the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, Canada, Australia, Italy, and Spain. The brand's conceptual roots stretch back to 2012, when Gaga began developing a line centered on self-expression and inclusivity. All products are vegan, cruelty-free, and Leaping Bunny certified.

    In June 2022, Haus Labs underwent a significant rebranding and shifted its retail partnership from Amazon to Sephora, a move that elevated its prestige positioning. The brand's mission emphasizes kindness, bravery, and creativity, with a bold, artistic aesthetic featuring vivid pigments and glittering textures. Its product range includes the Triclone Skin Tech Foundation, Bio-Radiant Gel Highlighter, and Le Riot Lip Gloss, among others. Haus Labs occupies the prestige indie beauty segment, competing with Fenty Beauty, Rare Beauty, and Pat McGrath Labs. The brand is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with manufacturing in Italy and the United States.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Who owns Haus Labs?
    Haus Labs is owned by Lady Gaga (Stefani Germanotta), who founded the brand in 2019. It is a privately held company with no external investors. Lady Gaga retains full creative and financial control, and the brand operates under her company, Haus of Gaga LLC.
    Is Haus Labs still in business?
    Yes, Haus Labs is very much still in business. After a major relaunch in June 2022, the brand moved from Amazon to Sephora as its primary retail partner. It continues to release new products and expand globally, with a strong online presence and in-store availability at Sephora locations worldwide.
    Is Haus Labs cruelty-free?
    Yes, Haus Labs is 100% cruelty-free and vegan. All products are certified by Leaping Bunny, meaning no animal testing is conducted at any stage of production. The brand also avoids animal-derived ingredients like carmine, beeswax, and lanolin, making it a popular choice for ethical consumers.
    How much is Haus Labs worth?
    Haus Labs' exact valuation is not publicly disclosed, but industry analysts estimate it between $200 million and $400 million as of 2024. This is significantly lower than competitors like Fenty Beauty ($2.8 billion) or Rare Beauty ($2 billion), but the brand has shown steady growth since its Sephora relaunch.
    Haus Labs vs Fenty Beauty – which is better?
    Both brands offer bold, inclusive makeup, but they differ in focus: Fenty Beauty is known for its extensive shade ranges (50+ foundation shades) and universal products, while Haus Labs emphasizes clean, vegan formulas and artistic, glitter-heavy textures. Haus Labs is generally more affordable (foundations $38 vs Fenty's $40), but Fenty has broader global distribution.
