Supporting animal-free innovation in the beauty sector
We’re at the forefront of the global move away from animal testing for cosmetics – helping to shape meaningful legal reforms, and providing training in non-animal cosmetic safety assessment to support industry, regulatory and public interest stakeholders in understanding and embracing the latest approaches to consumer protection.

Global regulatory alignment
We’re advocating for national measures in key markets to outlaw animal testing for cosmetics by 2023.

Capacity-building in non-animal cosmetic safety assessment
We’re developing educational resources to support long-term acceptance and use of non-animal approaches.
