I think you maxed out the tribes in which you could post this, but I think it would be very relevant to /t/makeup as well. Animal testing is something debated with a lot of heat on makeup forums. A part of this is that up until last year, animal testing was mandatory for cosmetics sold in China, which put some of the big cosmetics giants in a tough spot - and left some consumers very angry. I wonder if this means that big companies like L'Oreal will have to do some corporate trickery to get by, perhaps by opening a separate subsidiary that manufactures specific cosmetics just for China as required.

This is really encouraging. It is especially nice because it was noted that even those the ingredients could still be tested on animals for non makeup purposes they thought the industry would still comply with what is clearly the right choice. I don't know the history of animal testing for makeup but I am glad to see that change is happening.
