There are over 40 countries around the world that have banned animal testing for cosmetics.
Animal testing is done to verify the usefulness and safety of cosmetic ingredients.
Animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and mice have been used as test subjects for toxicity tests, phototoxicity tests, and skin irritation tests.
According to the Humane Society of the United States, as many as 500,000 animals are sacrificed each year around the world for cosmetic animal testing.
In the pharmaceutical world, many animals such as rabbits and mice are sacrificed for diagnostic drugs and other purposes.
Consumers choosing products that do not sacrifice animals will be a major boost in the eradication of animal testing, and checking the efforts of companies and brands and choosing cruelty-free products will change the times.
Additionally, silkworm technology is an environmentally friendly approach that uses significantly less energy compared to methods that involve cultured cells.
Why not consider experimenting with transgenic silkworms?
