台灣成為第一個禁止對化粧品進行動物測試的亞洲國家。根據台灣化粧品衛生安全管理法第六條規定，化粧品業者於於國內進行化粧品或化粧品成分之安全性評估，不得以動物作為檢測對象，自2019年11月9日起施行。
Taiwan Bans Cosmetics Animal Testing
Taiwan become the first Asian nation to ban animals testing on cosmetics. According to Taiwan Cosmetic Hygiene and Safety Act Article 6, cosmetics businesses shall not subject animals to testing when conducting safety evaluation of cosmetics or cosmetic ingredients, which shall be enforced from November 9, 2019.
歐盟動物試驗禁令
歐盟於2013年頒布化妝品法規（1223/2009）正式禁止在歐洲銷售的所有新化粧品及其成分的動物測試禁令。該禁令亦適用已在歐洲以外接受動物測試的產品或成分。
EU BAN ON ANIMAL TESTING
In 2013, EU Cosmetic Regulation (1223/2009) o_cially introduced a ban on animal testing for all new cosmetics and their ingredients sold in Europe. The ban also applies to products, or ingredients, which have been subject to animal testing outside Europe.
美國動物測試與化妝品
根據美國聯邦食品，藥品和化粧品法（FD＆C Act）的規定，在美國之化妝品必須經過適當且有效的測試，以證實成分與成品的安全性始能進行銷售。未全面禁止動物測試，但建議製造商考慮使用經過科學驗證的替代方法。美國食品藥品監督管理局（FDA）大力倡導開發並執行不使用動物的測試方法。
US ANIMAL TESTING & COSMETICS
Regulated by the US Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), cosmetics in the USA must undergo appropriate and e_ective testing to substantiate the safety of both the ingredients and the finished product – before they are marketed. Testing on animals is not banned, however, manufacturers are advised to consider the use of scientifically validated alternatives. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) strongly advocates the development and use of testing methods that do not employ the use of animals.
此外，美國加州參議院宣布第1249號法案，該法案定義之化粧品，適用於2020年1月1日起或之後的製造商及所有供應商，簽約、開發或製造進行動物試驗，於該州進口之利潤、出售或供銷之化粧品，皆為非法。
In addition, the California Senate announced Bill No.1249, this bill would make it unlawful for a manufacturer to import for profit, sell, or o_er for sale in this state, any cosmetic, as defined, if the cosmetic was developed or manufactured using an animal test that was conducted or contracted by the manufacturer, or any supplier of the manufacturer, on or after January 1, 2020.
