Be Cruelty-Free: Global : Humane Society International

+ Sign the Global Pledge to Be Cruelty-Free

Animals shouldn’t suffer and die to test cosmetics or their ingredients. All cosmetics should be cruelty-free, and I support an end to animal testing for cosmetics and to the sale of new cosmetics that have been tested on animals.

After you take action, you'll receive updates by email on how you can help animals. You can easily opt out at any time.

Be Cruelty-Free is the leading global campaign to end animal testing for cosmetics. Join Humane Society International and our partners around the world as we fight to end cosmetics animal cruelty—forever.

Together, we achieved a great victory for animals by convincing Europe to become the world's largest cruelty-free cosmetics market. But in 8 out of 10 countries it's still legal to test beauty products and their ingredients on animals. Join HSI and help us convince the whole world to Be Cruelty-Free!
