Testing cosmetics on animals is to end in Britain. Last year, the Home Office
announced that cosmetic products would no longer be tested on animals
(This Week, 15 November 1997, p 12).
Now the ban has been extended to include all
ingredients used in cosmetics. The three companies in Britain holding permits to
test ingredients on animals have volunteered to give up their licences, and no
new ones are to be issued. The number of animals affected is small, however. In
1997, just 1319 of more than 2.6 million animal tests involved cosmetics.
