Written Question
Animal Experiments: Cosmetics
Tuesday 6th August 2024

Asked by: Alex Mayer (Labour - Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Written Statement of 17 May 2023 on Regulation Update, HCWS779, if she will make it her Department's policy to reinstate a full ban on the testing of cosmetic products on animals covering chemicals used (a) exclusively and (b) predominantly as cosmetic product ingredients.

Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Home Office)

Animal testing of cosmetics for consumer safety has been banned in the UK since 1998 and this remains in force.

Additionally, the Government does not issue licences for animal testing of chemicals that are used exclusively as cosmetics ingredients, carried out under chemicals (REACH) regulations for the purpose of worker and environmental safety.

No animal testing is being conducted, nor will any testing be authorised, of chemicals that are exclusively intended to be used as ingredients in cosmetics products.
