We are deeply concerned to hear that the ruling in the UK High Court, published today, means that the ban on animal testing in cosmetics was effectively lifted in 2019, under the radar.
The Body Shop was the first global beauty company to campaign to ban animal testing in cosmetics in 1989, with the UK becoming the world’s first to rule it out in 1998.
We join our long-standing partner @CrueltyFreeIntl in calling on the Government to reimpose this ban immediately. We can’t turn back the clock.
Allowing animal testing for cosmetics in the UK would be a devastating blow and so our fight continues. We will campaign vigorously, as our late founder Dame Anita Roddick did, for as long as it takes.
At The Body Shop, we are Forever Against Animal Testing.
