China’s First Official Non-Animal Test Comes This Summer

The 3T3 Neutral Red Uptake Phototoxicity Assay (which no one can remember because of its name) plans to be accepted by the Chinese officials. This is China’s first non-animal testing guidance report that will be approved for testing methods in cosmetics.

This method tests chemicals for their potential toxicity when they come into contact with sunlight.

Problem occurred when companies that don’t test on animals were required to do animal tests in China.

Thanks to PETA and PETA’s funds, scientists successfully offered non animal alternatives to Chinese officials.
