About this campaign
Did you know 11 March 2022 marked the 9-year anniversary of the EU becoming the world’s largest cruelty-free beauty market? Cosmetic animal testing was finally banned, or so we thought. Yet instead of celebrating, we find ourselves having to counter demands by European chemical authorities for new animal tests on ingredients used in cosmetics. Our promise of a Europe where animals no longer suffer and die for the sake of cosmetics has been broken.
Last August, the European Citizens’ Initiative “Save Cruelty-Free Cosmetics – Commit to a Europe Without Animal Testing” was launched by a coalition of animal protection groups, including Humane Society International/Europe, to urge the European Commission to:
- protect and strengthen the cosmetics animal testing ban
- stop new animal testing requirements, and
- modernize science.
We have until 31 August 2022 to collect 1 million validated signatures from EU citizens to compel a meaningful response from the European Commission.
