Sreedhar, D., Manjula, N., Pise, S. A., & Ligade, V. (2020). Ban of cosmetic testing on animals: A brief overview. Int. J. Curr. Res. Rev, 12, 113. http://dx.doi.org/10.31782/IJCRR.2020.121424

This journal examines the ethical ramifications of animal testing in the cosmetics industry. They mention that the traditional use of animals in research can be a source of moral distress and raises moral issues, such as the suffering that the animals go through while being tested, the relatively small benefits obtained from the tests, and the potential risk of disease transmission from the animals to humans due to their lack of immune or moral defenses. To a future free from the ethical dilemmas can be achieved by funding alternative approaches, encouraging research collaboration, and public discourse. Therefore, cosmetics sector should use alternative testing techniques to ensure safety of new products and animal testing should only be done under specific circumstances.
