Dossier Legislative introduced 27-feb-2025
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Humane Cosmetics Act of 2025

Key claim: The Humane Cosmetics Act of 2025 (HR1657) was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce to restrict animal testing for cosmetics.

Abstract

(HR1657 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-02-27): Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Why this matters

The Humane Cosmetics Act would set a federal floor restricting animal testing for cosmetics and cosmetic ingredients, aligning U.S. practice with jurisdictions (EU, several states) that already prohibit it. For manufacturers and FDA, it would change compliance pathways for demonstrating cosmetic safety; for consumers, it would shift what testing methods underlie the products they buy. Status is early: introduced and referred to committee, with no markup yet.
