The Body Shop Launches campaign for a global ban on animal testing in cosmetic products

The Body Shop FAAT -: Mr. Trevor Rajaratnam, Director of Quest Holding Lanka Pvt Ltd,
Mr. Russell De Chernatony, Franchise Account Manager, The Body Shop International

The Body Shop is appealing for support to bring about a global ban on animal testing of cosmetic products and ingredients. Cosmetic animal testing has already been banned in the UK and the EU, but 80% of countries have no laws against it and more than 500,000 animals are used in cosmetic testing each year, according to animal protection organization, Cruelty-Free International.

FAAT is a partnership between Cruelty-Free International & the Body Shop and is their most ambitious campaign ever. It aims to achieve 8 million signatures for a global ban on animal testing in cosmetic products and ingredients through a United Nations International Convention.
