Science
Build a Robust Scientific Toolbox

When consumers purchase cosmetics and personal care products from retailers, they rightly expect products that are safe for themselves, their families, and the environment. Safety means the product and its ingredients have undergone rigorous evaluation to ensure that it won’t cause personal or environmental harm.

Acceptance
Accelerate Uptake of Animal-Free Safety Assessments for Cosmetics

Scientific advances in alternatives to animal testing have increasingly enabled cosmetic and personal care product safety and environmental assessments without the use of animals. Now is the time to integrate these approaches into cosmetic and chemical regulations to ensure animal-free safety methods and innovative environmental exposure assessments are accepted globally.

Education
Support and Design Continuous Educational Programs

As our scientists continue developing and applying new animal-free safety and environmental assessment methods, it is critical that ICCS also support widespread use of these new approaches for cosmetic ingredients and product safety assessment through education and training.
