End Animal Testing & Support the Humane Guide

Goal: A legislative ban on cosmetic animal testing

South Africa still permits cosmetic testing on animals. Choose Humanely Manufactured brands and back a national ban.

The problem

South Africa’s regulations still permit cosmetic testing on animals, even though validated non-animal methods already exist for many products.

Our vision

A national ban on cosmetic animal testing — and shoppers empowered to choose Humanely Manufactured brands with confidence.

What we’re doing

We audit brands against our animal-testing requirements and list them in our Humane Guide, which carries 160+ brands, and we campaign for a legislative ban.

Provisional copy — to be finalised with BWC.
