Which Cosmetics and Personal-Care Companies Don’t Conduct Tests on Animals? Neither the U.S. Food and Drug Administration nor the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission requires that cosmetics be tested on animals. There are already sufficient safety data and many non-animal methods available to make animal testing obsolete for these products. Thankfully, most cosmetics companies have already banned tests on animals as a result of PETA’s campaigns and consumer pressure. However, some sell products in countries where tests on animals are required.
