Animal testing of cosmetics has always been a very hot and controversial topic. At present, nearly 40 countries and regions around the world have banned animal testing on cosmetics, including the United Kingdom, India, Israel, Australia and the European Union. China officially joined the ranks in May 2021, exempting general cosmetics from mandatory animal testing, thereby opening its market to foreign cruelty-free bands. However, meeting the prerequisites for China’s animal testing exemptions is challenging for some companies.

We organized this webinar to help companies better cope with the current animal testing regulations in China and the rest of the world. In the webinar, Ms. Winnie Xu will first review the history of global animal testing regulations, then expound on the latest developments of China’s animal testing exemption regulations after more than 1 year of implementation and provide feasible paths for companies to enter the market circumventing animal testing. Finally, she will focus on animal testing regulation updates in some major countries or regions.
