Humane Cosmetics Act of 2025

Bill 119 HR 1657, also known as the Humane Cosmetics Act, aims to significantly limit the practice of animal testing for cosmetics in the United States. The bill seeks to promote the use of alternative testing methods that do not involve animals, such as in vitro testing and computer modeling.

Under this legislation, companies would be prohibited from conducting or commissioning animal testing for cosmetic products or ingredients. Additionally, the bill would ban the sale of any cosmetic products in the US that have been tested on animals.

The Humane Cosmetics Act also includes provisions to encourage the development and use of alternative testing methods, as well as to promote international cooperation on the issue of animal testing for cosmetics. Overall, this bill represents a significant step towards ending the cruel and unnecessary practice of animal testing in the cosmetics industry, while also promoting innovation and progress in the field of cosmetic safety testing.
