Cosmetics are considered to be luxury products; they are not part of the essential commodity. Testing cosmetic ingredients on animals is primarily to check whether the product is safe for human use. Due to the increased concern for animals, to protect them from unnecessary pain and injuries many countries have passed,enacted Act made Rules and Regulations.&#13;
Objective: In the present study an attempt was made to explore various country statuses that have banned, in the progress of cosmetic testing on animals.&#13;
