COSMETIC TESTING ON ANIMALS

COSMETIC TESTING ON ANIMALS DATES BACK TO 1933 & THE FDA PASSED THE FEDERAL FOOD, DRUG & COSMETIC ACT IN 1938 TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC FROM UNSAFE COSMETICS.  THE 2 MOST COMMON ANIMAL TESTS ARE THE DRAIZE TEST, WHICH INVOLVES DROPPING A SUBSTANCE DIRECTLY INTO AN ANIMAL'S EYES (ALBINO RABBITS ARE USED FREQUENTLY FOR THIS TEST)  WHICH IS EXTREMELY PAINFUL,  AND THE LD50 WHICH INVOLVES FORCE FEEDING POISONOUS SUBSTANCES TO A GROUP OF ANIMALS THROUGH STOMACH TUBES, VAPOR SPRAY INHALERS OR INJECTIONS UNTIL 50% OF THEM DIE.  REACTIONS TO THESE TESTS INCLUDE CONVULSIONS, VOMITING, PARALYSIS & BLEEDING FROM THE EYES, NOSE, MOUTH OR RECTUM.
