Support the Humane Cosmetics Act of 2023: End Animal Testing in Cosmetics
The Humane Cosmetics Act of 2023 (H.R. 5399) is a critical piece of legislation that aims to ban animal testing for cosmetics and end the sale of cosmetic products and ingredients tested on animals. By supporting this bill, we can help protect animals, promote cruelty-free products, and encourage the development of innovative, humane alternatives in the cosmetics industry. But we need your help to make sure this bill becomes law.
What is the Humane Cosmetics Act?
Currently, millions of animals suffer from painful and outdated testing methods used by the cosmetics industry to evaluate the safety of products. The Humane Cosmetics Act of 2023 seeks to change this by prohibiting the use of animal testing for cosmetics and ending the sale of cosmetic products that rely on such practices.
The bill also directs the FDA to develop guidelines for cruelty-free alternatives, ensuring that the United States joins the growing global movement toward humane, scientifically advanced, and ethical cosmetics. The passage of this bill will:
-
End animal testing in the cosmetics industry.
-
Ban the sale of products tested on animals.
-
Promote cruelty-free alternatives that are safe, effective, and scientifically sound.
How Nonprofits Can Make a Difference
Nonprofit organizations like The Gentle Lab Foundation play an essential role in advocating for this bill, but we can’t do it alone. Here’s how we can make an impact together:
1. Advocate for Change
We’re pushing for policymakers to support the Humane Cosmetics Act. By meeting with lawmakers, submitting policy briefs, and testifying at hearings, nonprofits can directly influence the legislative process, urging Congress to take action.
2. Mobilize Public Support
Nonprofits help raise awareness about the bill and its importance. Through public campaigns, petitions, and events, we can educate consumers and policymakers alike, creating a groundswell of support for animal welfare. The more people who understand the need for this law, the stronger the pressure on lawmakers to pass it.
3. Build Coalitions
By forming alliances with other advocacy groups, businesses, and individuals, nonprofits can amplify their voices and present a united front in favor of this critical legislation. Together, we can create a movement that resonates across industries and communities.
