Accelerating the World’s Transition to 100% Animal Free Testing

In this presentation Carol will be sharing updates on how both XCellR8 and our wider community are accelerating the world’s transition to 100% animal free testing. If we are to see a world free from animal testing for cosmetics in the next 10 years, there are ethical, scientific, regulatory and political aspects to address – these are closely entwined strands, running in parallel. Without one, the whole thing unravels. I’m aiming to give you a fast track update on the latest developments across these areas and tie it all together.

So if you’ve heard snippets of information lately about technical progress in animal-free safety assessment, regulatory complexities in the UK and EU, or public demands to accelerate progress, Carol aims to highlight the latest “need-to-know” information about this all-important aspect of getting cosmetic ingredients and products to market. Importantly, what direct actions can we take, individually and as an industry, to ensure that together we really can accelerate the world’s transition to 100% animal-free testing. This session should have you leave feeling informed, inspired, and empowered in the knowledge that you can play a direct role in ensuring that cosmetic products become safer than ever, thanks to modern science.
