Chi bello vuol apparire un po’ di male deve soffrire, dicono. Ma in pochi sanno che nel mondo della cosmesi siano prima di tutto gli animali, che di cosmesi non ne vogliono proprio sapere, a soffrire. Qualsiasi prodotto messo in vendita, è interessato da una procedura che prevede l’obbligo di testare su animali ogni singolo ingrediente utilizzato per la formulazione dei prodotti di cosmesi e di bellezza in generale. Tutti gli articoli che si presentano ai nostri occhi al momento dell’acquisto, hanno sicuramente passato, positivamente (per l’uomo), questi numerosi test di laboratorio. Solo in Italia, 3.000 animali ogni giorno sono torturati con test ad altissima tossicità. Ingenuamente We would think that is applied, as would we, a lipstick rather than an after shave or eye-liner, or that the animal is gently sprinkled with the white fragrant white cream until completely absorbed. E 'instead very important to know that cosmetic testing is to give the animal the single ingredient to be tested, but in large doses. An example? The substance is applied in higher doses and concentrated on the surface of the eye (Draize eye test), skin (Draize skin test) or is made to inhale. To make this even clearer, just think that many (to say the truth, too many) animals die during the test and the survivors suffer serious birth defects, burns, poisoning and permanent. The EU has however stated that by 2013 there will be any kind of animal testing for cosmetics. This was established in Legislative Decree No.50 of February 15, 2005. One step forward, of course, unless we consider that for another 3 years (8 at the time), millions of animals continue to suffer these terrible and unnecessary experiments. But we can do something, we the consumers, not to passively attend to these tortures and holocausts these: there are, fortunately for us, the products known as "cruelty free", meaning that no fee will be tests on any animal species. To recognize them, just look for the symbol on the product itself that specifies the non-cruelty. For a complete list of products CRUELTYFree (cosmetic or not) just go to one of the many sites, as : www.lavocedeiconigli.it (Section: ANIMAL INFO - "lists no cruelty," below). At the same site, among other things, you can 'find the list of products which, however, perform the tests.
