The bill that aims to restrict the use of animal testing in the cosmetics, toiletries and perfumes industry (PLC 70/2014) is among the issues to be debated at the Senate Science and Technology Commission (CCT) today, 29 September 2015.
In its report to the Commission, Senator Cristovam Buarque has proposed several amendments to the bill, including an immediate ban on testing finished products on animals and an amendment that prohibits new animal testing of any cosmetic ingredients within three years of the law’s publication. The sale of cosmetics subject to new animal testing will also be banned within three years, thus preventing multinational companies from circumventing the ban by purchasing new ingredients that have been tested on animals in other countries after the legal cut-off date in Brazil.
