The tests performed to test the products of the cosmetics industry is one that raises more ethical questions.
Directive 2003/15/EC established a framework oriented towards the gradual elimination of animal testing in the cosmetics industry.
Indeed, with regard to testing finished products on the ban was implemented in 2005.

Since 2009 it is forbidden to sell cosmetics tested on animals and today to assess the safety of products such as, for example, creams, soaps , tricks you use non-animal toxicity tests.
validation of alternative methods is done by the ECVAM (European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods) and the Joint Research Centre.
currently are allowed only 3 specific toxicity tests (by repeated use, reproduction, and toxicokinetics) which triggered the ban in 2013 on condition that within that time validated alternative tests are available.
