General Facts on Cosmetic Testing

Every year millions of animals are used for cosmetic testing to see how effective and safe these products are for human use. The companies who do this claim that is is absolutely necessary to test on animals for product safety yet the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not require this type of testing.

The following is a short summary of real facts related to animal testing:
  • 1.4 million animals and more are counted by the USDA to be used in experiments that are painful
  • Most of the animals are used in just one experiment, but there are few who are used for many experiments
  • Animals live in poor conditions and are often shoved in small spaces with many others while they are waiting to be experimented on
  • U.S. laws do not require scientists to take note of how many animals are being tested, so it is likely the number for animal testing is much higher
  • There are alternative methods besides animal testing which are CHEAPER
