The Lush Cosmetics joined the Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International to launch the largest ever global campaign aimed at ending cosmetic tests on animals. But the news that's not all: in order to emphasize your point of view, the purveyor of handmade products became a showcase in London in a mirror of cruelty, where the artist Jacqueline Traides 10:0 underwent torturous procedures regularly used by the beauty industry â€" was not a pretty sight, wasn't even supposed to be.

Despite the cosmetic tests done on animals being banned across Europe about 20 years ago, the sale of products tested on animals is still allowed in the United Kingdom and other countries of the continent. In the United States, federal law requires that companies ensure that their products are safe, but does not prohibit the tests in animals. What happens is that certain manufacturers continue to test your new cosmetic ingredients in this way and these travel all over the world.

Most consumers are unaware that some shampoos and lipsticks that have home yet involve the chemical poisoning of animals such as rabbits and rats. "The science now allows us to go beyond that and there is no place for testing of cosmetic products on animals in modern society", argues Kate Willett, Director of regulatory toxicology, risk assessment and alternatives of the Humane Society of the United States.

The Fighting Animal Testing emerges as an awareness-raising campaign and also as a petition. The initiative comprises 48 countries and more than 700 Lush stores in the u.s., Canada, Europe, India, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and Russia, all of which people are invited to sign petitions in national physical stores or online, demanding the end of practice â€" can perfectly support the cause on the site if they so understand.

"The animals (...) must be protected by strong laws requiring all companies to adopt humane method to supply their products to the market, "reinforced Brandi Halls, American campaign manager for Lush.
