CANADIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BAN COSMETICS TESTING ON ANIMALS

On Thursday, April 20, 2023 the Canadian government will be tabling a ground breaking legislation through the Budget Implementation Act which bans cosmetics animal testing and trade in Canada.

 

The amendments will also prohibit selling cosmetics that rely on new animal testing data to establish product safety and false or misleading labelling pertaining to the testing of cosmetics on animals.

 

Supporters of this amendment, Humane Society International/Canada and its coalitions, Lush Cosmetics, The Body Shop, Cosmetics Alliance Canada, and Cruelty Free International, have been working closely with the Canadian government for several years to advance this legislation.
