Content: Cruelty-free brands like Lush, Dove and Herbal Essences create innovative new products safely by relying on modern non-animal tests in combination with existing ingredients with established histories of safe use. HSI and our partners are working to ban cosmetic animal testing in the world’s largest and most influential beauty markets, as well as the sale of cosmetic products or ingredients that have been newly animal-tested in any other part of the world. Our campaign was instrumental in driving the European Union to become the world’s largest cruelty-free cosmetic market, and in securing subsequent bans in India, Taiwan, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea, Switzerland, Guatemala, and in numerous states in Brazil. Bans are just the beginning; HSI and our industry partners in the Animal-Free Safety Assessment Collaboration are also supporting training in developing countries to help companies and government authorities transition to modern non-animal methods.
