The Humane Cosmetics Act of 2025 would ban cosmetic animal testing conducted in the United States, effective one year after enactment, and prohibit the sale or transport of cosmetic products developed through animal testing anywhere in the supply chain. The law would also prevent cosmetic companies from using data generated from new animal tests to prove safety to regulators, with narrow exceptions—including when foreign governments require testing, when the FDA specifically approves testing due to serious health concerns with no alternatives, or when testing is conducted for non-cosmetic purposes. Companies that violate the ban face civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation, with each animal tested and each day of violation counting as a separate offense. The legislation preempts state laws on the issue, requiring any state restrictions to be identical to the federal rules.
