Global Regulatory Updates of Animal Testing in 2020 Animal testing for the sake of cosmetic safety has always been a very controversial topic since it's often viewed as cruel due to its harm, or outright death, of the animals subjected to them. In the early years, animal testing was adopted to assess product safety and allergenicity during the R&D of cosmetics and daily chemical products. Since then, we have seen significant technological advancements to the extent that people argue that animal tests have become largely redundant. As a response, cruelty-free advocates have made huge headway in lobbying governments to ban animal testing. In this report, ChemLinked will look at those major advancements in the global push towards a global ban on animal testing.

South Korea Cosmetic Regulatory Updates 2015 Compared to China’s policy of sweeping reforms to its cosmetic regulatory framework, South Korea adopts a more gradual approach through the implementation of smaller changes over an extended period of time via minor amendments to official acts, rules and standards. Generally the overarching cosmetic regulation in a country isn’t modified or supplemented frequently but in South Korea this is not the case. Almost every year the MFDS revises or supplements some clauses of the Cosmetic Act. As such 2015 was not an eventful year in terms of regulatory updates in South Korea. The most significant change was South Korea’s progress in eliminating mandatory animal testing requirements.
