Humane Cosmetics Act of 2025

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

Introduced

Summary

Bans cosmetic animal testing and blocks use of new animal-test data for safety decisions. The bill would make it illegal to conduct or contract for cosmetic animal testing in the United States starting one year after enactment and would bar sale or interstate transport of cosmetics developed using that testing.

Show full summary

Families and consumers: Regulators could not rely on animal-test evidence generated after enactment to establish safety under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act except in narrow, specified exemptions. This limits the kinds of safety data companies may use for U.S. products.
Cosmetic manufacturers and suppliers: Companies would be barred from doing or hiring domestic animal tests after one year. They must provide requested records at their expense and face civil fines up to $10,000 per violation, with each animal and each day treated as a separate offense.
Regulators and states: The Secretary of Health and Human Services could authorize limited exemptions after a written finding and at least 60 days for public comment. States would be prohibited from imposing rules on cosmetic animal testing that differ from the bill or from requiring tests the bill bans.

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

Fines and record rules for companies

Starting one year after enactment, violators could face civil fines up to $10,000 per violation. Each animal and each day would count as a separate offense. The Secretary could demand records a company used to meet the law’s data rules. Requests must be in writing; companies would have to provide the records in a reasonable way and time, at their own cost. The Secretary would confirm receipt and keep normal inspection powers.

Limited animal-testing exceptions with FDA review

One year after enactment, some testing could still be allowed in narrow cases. Testing done abroad to meet a foreign regulator’s rule would be exempt. FDA could allow testing only after a written finding that no non‑animal method exists, serious health harms were seen, and no similar ingredient can replace it. FDA would post the finding online, allow at least 60 days for public comment, and then decide if old data could substitute. Tests for products regulated as drugs or devices, or for non‑cosmetic rules by U.S. or foreign agencies, could also qualify.

Nationwide ban and data limits for cosmetics

One year after enactment, it would be illegal to do or hire cosmetic animal testing in the United States. It would also be illegal to sell or ship a cosmetic if its supply chain did animal tests after that date. Companies generally could not use new animal-test data to prove safety under the food and drug law. The bill defines what counts as cosmetic animal testing, what products are cosmetics, and what a nonfunctional constituent is. Limited exceptions are described in a separate rule below.

One national standard for testing rules

This bill would set one national rule on cosmetic animal testing and related data use. States could not pass different bans or rules that do not match this bill’s prohibitions and exemptions. States also could not force testing that this bill would not allow.
