Did you know that testing a finished cosmetic product on animals is not permitted in Australia? How great is that?!⁠

⁠

HOWEVER- chemicals can still be tested on animals if they can justify that the ingredient for non-cosmetic purposes.⁠

⁠

What this means, is that a chemical ingredient that is going to be used in a foundation (cosmetic) AND a washing detergent (non-cosmetic) can STILL be tested on animals.⁠

⁠

Because of this “multi-use” loophole, many ingredients are still tested on animals to be used in cosmetic products in Australia.⁠

⁠

This is not to mention that the majority of current Australian cosmetics contain imported ingredients which have been tested on animals in another country at some point in time.⁠

⁠

And Australia is known for it’s strict regulations! Imagine a country that is not!⁠
