Did you know that 92% of drugs that were tested and ruled as safe and effective on animals fail in human trials, and the small percentage that is actually safe for humans is often relabeled due to side effects that weren’t discovered in animals (11 Facts about Animal Testing)? Yet, for some unknown reason, scientists still continue to test different things on poor, defenseless animals, every single day. If the fail rate from animals to humans is 92%, what makes them think that humans still…

In the United States alone over one hundred million animals are poisoned, crippled, abused, and killed in laboratories each year. There is only one federal law prohibiting the inhumane treatment of laboratory animals and this law is null to ninety-five percent of the animals being tested. Whole-animal testing is antiquated, and progressive scientists have already developed thousands of more accurate laboratory tests that are cheaper, faster, and most importantly, don 't involve animals. The…

Practically every consumer in the United States will have one or multiple products that are tested on animals. The most popular companies that test on animals are Dove, L’oreal, Maybelline, Coppertone, Clean and Clear, etc. (Gala, 2013). The list goes on and on. These companies are receiving your hard earned money and spending it on the testing of innocent animals. The testing may provide a newer version of the same product…

to voluntarily phase-out microbeads in their products. Fortunately, alternatives to microplastics are available and already in use in some products (Lohse-Hanson et al. 2014). As the Chicago Tribune first reported, Johnson & Johnson, Unilever and L’Oréal already have information on their websites explaining their plans for gradually eliminating the scrub beads from their products and testing for natural alternatives, like ground seeds or nuts (2014). In addition to the voluntary actions,…

Animal Testing Each year it is estimated that over 100 million animals are tested on for scientific purposes around the world. The debate of whether or not scientists should use animals for experimentation has been a big problem for many years. Scientists use the animals to test out the safety and efficacy of products. Animal testing has gotten to be a big problem and it needs to be stopped immediately because it is not fair to the animals. Animal testing is cruel and unfair to the animals and…

4.3. Niosomes: Niosomes were developed and patented by L'Oréal in the 1970s and 80s. The first niosomal formulation was introduced by Lancome in 1987 and have been widely applied in pharmaceutics as a demanding tool to improve the delivery of many drugs34. Niosomes are vesicles formed by self-assembly of hydrated and synthetic non-ionic surfactants e.g sorbitans (Spans) or polysorbates (Tweens).

good or bad reaction to the substances all the products will still go out on the market, placed on store shelves for people to purchase them.

According to a New York Times article, L’Oréal, Covergirl, and Procter and Gamble, to name a few, are some of the better known cosmetic companies that do these types of experimentations. They are making profit from anyone who purchases their products too (Carvajal C1). A majority of…

coherency on their own greenhouse gas emission and carbon footprint, their capacity to think/act on global scale and their actual amount of gas emissions. The results show that none of the companies (Accor, BNP Paribas, Carrefour, EDF, ENGIE, Kering, L’Oreal, LVMH, Michelin, Renault) meet the ideal profile for transparency and coherence. These are all corporations striving on burning fossil fuel; hence, they represent the problem not the solution. No one needs a degree in politics and economics…

products are cruelty free but that is not always true. If a makeup brand wishes to sell their product in China they must undergo animal testing to abide by laws in China that require a final test before selling the product in China.

The brands that do not sell in countries that require animal testing are Bare Minerals, Urban…
