Animal Testing in Cosmetics: Ethical Concerns and Alternatives

This article explores the ethical implications of animal testing in the cosmetics industry, highlighting the suffering of animals subjected to tests like the Draize test. Research shows that a significant percentage of the public remains unaware of the harmful practices involved in cosmetic testing. With alternatives available, such as the Episkin method, which has proven to be highly accurate and humane, beauty companies are urged to adopt cruelty-free testing methods. Public awareness is crucial to drive change in this industry for more humane practices.

  6. I PERCEIVE THIS AS WRONG BECAUSE COSMETIC PRODUCTS ARE NOT ESSENTIAL TO OUR ECONOMY. TO REDUCE THIS UNNECESSARY ANIMAL CRUELTY, THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE TEST SOMETIMES CALLED “EPISKIN”, WHICH HAS SHOWN GREAT ACCURACY. • (Episkin Corrosion Test, 2013) claims that the studies has shown that this testing is “highly sensitive by 90% and specific by 80%” in finding the difference between “corrosive and non corrosive chemicals.” Jacquot, J.

  7. Survey • I created a survey online using surveymonkey.com • I polled 12 males and 13 females

  8. Did you know that thousand of animals die each year for tests towards cosmetics? 8%-Yes 88%-No. 4%-Undecided

  9. How likely would you buy a cosmetic product that was not tested on animals? 56%-Very likely 20%-Not likely 24%-Undecided

  10. Would you oppose animal testing for cosmetics if you knew there was an accurate non-animal alternative test that could be used? 96%-Yes 0%-No 4%-Undecided

  11. Conclusion More beauty companies should adopt the alternative “Episkin” to use for testing their products. Since most people seemed to be uninformed about this issue, it would be helpful to start getting the word out or finding out how to get involved. (2013). Cruelty Free International. [Photograph].
