Were you aware animal testing of cosmetics is now permitted for many cosmetic ingredients?

I thought it was banned too. I'll be looking more closely now.

Thanks for the warning

I’ve just completed an opinion survey. One of the questions was on animal testing for cosmetics. I always thought this was completely banned in 1998. However, earlier this year the government admitted that the full ban was changed in 2019 and now covers only 20% of cosmetic ingredients. I shall certainly be looking more thoroughly before I buy, even my favourite items.
