    Cosmetic products are often tested on animals to measure eye and skin irritation and toxicity. Common tests include the Draize eye and skin irritancy tests which involve applying products to animals' eyes and skin. These tests cause extreme pain and animals are killed afterwards. Alternative testing methods exist like cell and tissue cultures that are more reliable, less expensive and don't harm animals. While not required, many companies still use animal testing to ensure product safety.

    may show if product is toxic


    There are specific laws which delegate what is considered

    to be cruelty. They have fewer rules then working with humans so scientists can slightly more freely work on animals An animals skin, body, and internal workings are similarly structured to a humans which gives the closest accurate results to what a human will experience easier for scientists to get funding when using animal testing as opposed to human testing

    Extremely painful for animals

    Test are extremely expensive


    Test take months or even years to conduct All of the animals are killed once the tests are completed

    so that their internal organs can be examined

    The FDA does not require cosmetic products to be tested

    on animals. However, the it strongly recommends that whatever tests are necessary should be carried out to ensure the safety of a cosmetics product and companies often argue that animal testing is the best way to provide the proof needed.

    when you see the words "cruelty free" on a label all it

    means is that the company IS not currently testing the ingredients on animals, HOWEVER There is no guarantee that animal testing wasn't carried out in the past.
