I was not paid to be in this video. I chose to do it because cruelty free beauty is very important to me.

To check to see if your favorite brands are cruelty free, please see my cruelty free beauty list. You can also check out my international brands list.

As a reminder the Humane Cosmetics Act H.R. 4148 has been introduced as a federal bill. Representative Jim Moran (D-VA) has introduced this bill to ban animal testing for cosmetics. The Humane Cosmetics Act would ban animal testing for cosmetics after a 1 year phase in and follow with a 3 year phase in for a ban on the sale of any animal tested cosmetics.

The Humane Cosmetics Act, H.R. 4148, would:

• Make it unlawful for anyone to conduct or commission cosmetic animal testing in the U.S.
• Prohibit selling, offering for sale or transporting any cosmetics in interstate commerce if the final product or any component was developed or manufactured using animal testing.

This bill is endorsed by The Humane Society of the United States, Humane Society Legislative Fund and Humane Society International, along with members and stakeholders of the personal care products industry, including LUSH Fresh Handmade Cosmetics, Jack Black, Biao skincare and Aubrey Organics. The bill is also endorsed by Cruelty Free International.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not require use of animal testing methods to prove the safety of cosmetics.

Right now, it looks like this bill only has a 4% chance of passing.

Please help take action for those who can’t speak up for themselves:
