MAKEUP
The ugly secret of the beauty industry is that animals have chemicals forced down their throats, dripped into their eyes, or smeared onto their skin to test their safety for use in cosmetics.
SKINCARE
Animal testing is not appropriate for skincare testing. If these substances are not safe to begin with, then they should not be put into skincare, even after testing.
CLEANING AGENT
Worldwide, an estimated 500,000 animals are still suffering for cleaning products. But public information on animal testing for household cleaning products is confusing.
ORAL CARE
In an effort to measure toxic effects, rats, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, and other animals are forced to swallow or inhale massive quantities of a test substance or have a chemical smeared in their eyes or skin.
FRAGRANCE
Some of the tests for skin and eye irritation are performed by smearing the perfume on the skin and into the eyes of rabbits. Often these tests are not necessary, thanks to newer alternative testing options.
