Do not allow ingredients used only in cosmetics to be used on animals

Closed 58 signatures

What the petition asks

It has been reported that the Government has “reconsidered its policy'' on animal testing of cosmetics and that Ministers may permit animal testing on ingredients exclusively used in cosmetics.
Do not allow for this to be allowed. Show that the UK support funding and research into alternatives to animal testing and will not permit testing of ingredients used only in cosmetics on animals, even if this is the approach taken in the EU.
