Oregon: Urge your state senator to end the sale of cosmetics tested on animals

Rabbits, mice, rats and guinea pigs continue to suffer and die in experiments to test cosmetics like lipstick, deodorant and shampoo. H.B. 3213 will help end this unnecessary cruelty by banning the sale of animal-tested cosmetics in Oregon.

Alternatives to animal testing already exist: Humane, safe cosmetics can be made using thousands of existing ingredients, and several non-animal methods are already available to test new ingredients. These advanced scientific technologies are often cheaper, faster and more relevant to humans, and therefore more reliable predictors of safety than archaic animal tests.

Help bring Oregon in line with more than 30 countries and 10 states, including California, Nevada and New York, that have already banned the sale of cosmetics newly tested on animals. Companies that sell cosmetics in those countries and states are already using non-animal methods to test their products and ingredients.

Dear Senator,

As your constituent, I urge you to support H.B. 3213, which would help end the sale of animal-tested cosmetics in Oregon. 

With thousands of existing ingredients with a history of safe use and non-animal safety tests that are often cheaper, faster, and more relevant to humans, cosmetics companies can easily produce innovative new products without animal testing. There are more than 1,000 cosmetics brands in North America that have committed not to test final products, formulations or ingredients on animals and the largest cosmetic trade association has endorsed federal legislation to prohibit the production and sale of animal-tested cosmetics in the United States. 

H.B. 3213 will bring Oregon in line with more than 30 countries and 10 states, including California, Nevada and New York, that have already banned the sale of cosmetics newly tested on animals. U.S. companies that sell in those countries and states must already comply with those bans.
