Illinois Becomes Third State to Ban Sale of Animal-Tested Cosmetics This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 52%. (I'm a bot) Washington, DC-The Animal Welfare Institute and Cruelty Free International congratulate Illinois for joining California, Nevada, and more than 30 countries worldwide in banning the sale of animal-tested cosmetics. SB 241, sponsored by Senator Linda Holmes and signed by Governor J.B. Pritzker on August 9, prohibits the import or sale of any cosmetic if the final product or any ingredient was tested on animals after January 1, 2020. More than 30 countries, many in the European Union, already prohibit cosmetics testing on animals. Illinois' new law provides additional incentives for cosmetics companies to invest in non-animal alternatives to help them stay competitive in a changing global market while sparing animals from painful tests. Hundreds of successful cosmetics companies of all sizes rely on non-animal testing methods and support globally consistent standards. "Tragically, despite the availability of approved non-animal tests and existing ingredients that are safe for human use, we estimate that over half a million animals are still used annually in cruel and unnecessary cosmetics testing worldwide," said Monica Engebretson, North America campaign manager for Cruelty Free International.
