Animal Testing and Perfumes – There Are/Have Been Alternatives To Animal Testing

Animal Testing and Perfumes – There Are/Have Been Alternatives To Animal Testing

“Knowledge is Love and Light and Vision”. Helen Keller (American Poet)

The current ban on animal testing in the EU (European Union) on cosmetic ingredients, does not mean  or guarantee in any way that the perfumes available now in the EU market, don’t contain the ingredients which were tested on animals prior to the ban. A perfume available now in the EU countries, may still contain a large number of ingredients, which were tested on animals prior to the ban.

‘Stress Free’ – Scientific Basis for Natural Anti-Ageing Skin Care

Ageing is driven and controlled by intrinsic and extrinsic stresses, which cause damage to biomolecules including DNA. Accumulating findings indicate that longevity depends on the ability of the organism to cope with extrinsic or intrinsic stressors (Kirkwood & Austad, 2000).

The ageing process takes place within all organs of the body, and the skin shows visible signs of ageing. Skin ageing is driven by several factors including:

  1. Genetics;
  2. Hormonal disruptions;
  3. Metabolic processes; and
  4. Environmental stressors.
