This week, the Hawaii Cruelty Free Cosmetics Act (HCFCA) passed its final vote in the state legislature and, once signed by Governor David Ige, will make Hawaii the sixth state to ban cosmetic animal testing. The HCFCA prohibits the sale of new products tested on animals after January 1, 2022. In 2018, Senator Mike Gabbard (D-HI) first introduced the legislation making Hawaii one of the first states to consider banning cosmetic animal testing and has re-introduced HCFCA every year since.
“People in Hawai’i and across the nation care about animals and are increasingly looking for cosmetic products that are cruelty-free,” Gabbard said. “By moving forward with this legislation, we are doing the right thing without sacrificing the necessary product testing needed to protect human health.”

Virginia has joined three other states in banning cosmetics testing on animals. Companies often test new cosmetics on rabbits, mice, and other animals to ensure they’re safe for human use. Animal advocates say these methods are cruel and unnecessary, considering all the alternative ways to test the effects of moisturizers, makeup, and other cosmetic items.
The Humane Cosmetics Act, which goes into effect Jan. 1, 2022, prohibits cosmetics companies from testing on animals and bans the sale of products tested elsewhere on animals. California, Nevada, and Illinois have similar legislation. Animal testing of cosmetics and the sale of such products are also banned in the European Union, Iceland, India, Israel, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

The Maryland State Legislature just voted to pass new legislation that would ban the testing of cosmetics on animals across the state. The new legislation, called Prohibition on Testing Cosmetics on Animals (PTCA), would come into effect on January 1, 2022 and bans both the sale of cosmetics tested on animals and the contracting of entities to test cosmetics that are in development on animals. It also bans animal testing for individual ingredients and third-party manufacturers. PTCA is now headed to Maryland Governor Larry Hogan for signature and if passed, would make Maryland the fifth state to pass a cosmetic animal testing ban.
