On November 18, the Humane Cosmetics Act of 2019 was introduced to both
chambers of Congress. With a greater emphasis on the development and use of
alternatives, this new version of the Humane Cosmetics Act provides a more
comprehensive approach to end the use of animals to test cosmetic products
than previous versions.
IMPORTANT POINTS IN THE BILL:
As the Chair of the Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics, AAVS manages the Leaping Bunny Program and helps companies acquire cruelty-free certification, so we know that non-animal methods are already being used to establish safety of cosmetic and personal care products. The Humane Cosmetics Act of 2019 presents the most decisive way forward for meaningful progress to end animal testing.
