In Europe, testing cosmetic products on animals has been prohibited by law since 2004 and testing cosmetic ingredients has also been prohibited since 2013. The marketing of cosmetic products tested on animals has been prohibited since 2013, even if these tests have been practiced elsewhere than in Europe.
Despite this long-standing (and under threat) ban, there are loopholes in regulations that allow or require animal testing, such as testing for worker safety or REACH. Additionally, the EU allows the sale in the EU of cosmetic products tested on animals in China, which the PETA program does not allow. Companies like NUENCE that are listed on PETA's List of Cruelty Free Companies go beyond regulatory requirements and support the PETA organization so that animal testing cannot resume
With more than 6.5 million members, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is the largest animal rights organization in the world. Since 1980, PETA has campaigned against animal cruelty and exploitation, persuading organizations and lawmakers to end the use of animals wherever possible.
Its “Beauty Without Bunnies” certification is a criterion of trust to help consumers make their purchases responsibly.
