'This decision blows a hole in the UK’s longstanding leadership of no animal testing for cosmetics.'

industry, Dove and The Body Shop have teamed up to call on the EU and UK government to protect the ban of animal testing in cosmetics.

The brands, which both have long histories of promoting 'cruelty-free' beauty, have teamed up with muralist Nina Valkoff to create thought-provoking artwork, which will fill the streets of Paris, Berlin, Milan and Madrid this week. Their aim is to encourage consumers to "sign a European Citizens Initiative from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals , Cruelty Free Europe, Humane Society International , Eurogroup for Animals and the European Coalition to End Animal Experiments to uphold the European ban on animal testing.

“Under UK regulations to protect the environment and the safety of workers, animal testing can be permitted, where required by UK regulators, on single or multi-use ingredients. However, such testing can only be conducted where there are no non-animal alternatives,” a government spokesperson said.
