Humane Cosmetics Act of 2025

Sponsored By: Representative Beyer, Donald S. [D-VA-8]

Introduced

Summary

Would end most cosmetic animal testing in the U.S. supply chain. The Humane Cosmetics Act of 2025 would make it unlawful to knowingly conduct or contract for cosmetic animal testing in the United States and to sell or transport in interstate commerce cosmetics developed using such testing after a one-year phase-in.

Show full summary
  • Cosmetic manufacturers and brands would have a one-year phase-in to stop new animal testing and to stop selling products made using tests started after enactment.
  • Federal rules would block reliance on animal-test data to establish cosmetic safety except under narrow exemptions. Exemptions include testing required by foreign regulators, testing for non-cosmetic regulatory programs, or when the Secretary of Health and Human Services finds no non-animal alternative. The Secretary could request records and levy civil penalties up to $10,000 per violation, counted per animal and per day.
  • States could not set testing bans or data-use limits that differ from the Act and may not require testing beyond what the Act permits.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.

Ban on new cosmetic animal testing

This bill would make it illegal to knowingly do or hire cosmetic animal testing in the United States starting one year after enactment. It would also make it illegal, on that same date, to sell, offer for sale, or ship across state lines any cosmetic that was developed or made using animal testing done after the effective date. Key terms are defined by reference to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and existing federal rules so it is clear which products and tests are covered.

Federal standard preempts state rules

The bill would stop States or local governments from making animal-testing or data-use rules that differ from the federal rules or that omit the federal exemptions. States could not require testing that the federal rules forbid. This would create one national standard and prevent some states from imposing stricter rules.

Limits on using new animal-test data

If enacted, regulators would not be allowed to rely on animal-test results done after the effective date (one year after enactment) to show a cosmetic or ingredient is safe, except in narrow cases. Exceptions would include testing done to meet foreign rules, tests ordered by the Secretary after a written finding that no non-animal alternative exists and public notice with at least 60 days for comment, tests for products regulated under other parts of the law, and tests done for non-cosmetic regulatory purposes.

Enforcement: records and fines

The Secretary could ask a cosmetics maker in writing for records used to meet the law's criteria. The maker would have to give those records within a reasonable time, in a reasonable form, and at the maker's expense. The Secretary must confirm receipt and keeps existing inspection powers. The Secretary could also fine violators up to $10,000 per violation, with each animal and each day of an ongoing violation counted separately.
