Animal ingredients offer no additional benefits to cosmetic products when compared to plant-based ingredients. It is our opinion that animal experiments in the cosmetics industry are completely unacceptable. As a matter of principle, we feel animal experimentation is not acceptable on medical or ethical grounds, because any conclusions drawn from animal experiments are not 100% transferable to humans due to the differences between the species. Transferring and implementing findings for humans is to the detriment of both people and animals. People sustain demonstrable harm from non-transferable, misleading results from tests on animals. Advocacy groups have used the widespread justification that animal experimentation benefits peoples’ health. This unscientific theory stops research being done on really effective therapies and sensible testing methods.
