YSK animal testing for cosmetics is still common practice & is performed on dogs, monkeys, rabbits, mice, rats, & guinea pigs. Labels can be misleading so it’s important to know what to look for.
Why YSK: Around half a million animals die every year from cosmetic testing. Cosmetics include makeup, shampoos, nail polish, toothpaste, deodorant, perfumes, and more. At the end of the tests, the animals are killed, normally by asphyxiation, neck-breaking or decapitation. Pain relief is not provided. In the United States, a large percentage of the animals used in such testing (such as laboratory-bred rats and mice) are not counted in official statistics and receive no protection under the Animal Welfare Act.
Alternatives to animal testing exist: Nearly 50 non-animal tests are already available, with many more in development. Compared to animal tests, these modern alternatives can more closely mimic how humans respond to cosmetics and are also often more efficient and cost-effective.
To avoid supporting cosmetics animal testing, look for the LEAPING BUNNY LOGO or use CRUELTY-FREE KITTY before purchasing cosmetics.
