Chapter VI of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ( 21 U.S.C. 361 et seq. ), as amended by section 107, is further amended by adding the following: To minimize the use of animal testing for safety of cosmetic ingredients, non-functional constituents, and finished cosmetic products, the Food and Drug Administration shall— encourage the use of alternative testing methods that provide information that is equivalent or superior in scientific quality to the animal testing method to— not involve the use of an animal to test a chemical substance for safe use in cosmetics; or use fewer animals than conventional animal-based tests for safe use in cosmetics when nonanimal methods are impracticable; and encourage— the sharing of data across companies and organizations that are testing for safety in cosmetics, so as to avoid duplication of animal tests; and funding for research and validation of alternative testing methods.
Not later than 3 years after the date of enactment of the Personal Care Products Safety Act , the Food and Drug Administration shall issue guidance on the acceptability of scientifically reliable and relevant alternatives to animal testing for the safety of cosmetic ingredients, non-functional constituents, and finished cosmetic products, and encouraging the use of such methods. The Food and Drug Administration shall update such guidance on an annual basis. Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of the Personal Care Products Safety Act , the Food and Drug Administration shall provide information on the Internet website of the Food and Drug Administration regarding resources available for information about non-animal methods, and methods that reduce animal usage, in testing for the safety of cosmetic ingredients, non-functional constituents, and finished cosmetic products. .
