Inolex and the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA) have become members of the International Collaboration on Cosmetics Safety (ICCS).

ICCS is a global initiative focused on the adoption of animal-free assessments of cosmetics. Headquartered in New York, the ICCS brings together scientists and industry experts to drive greater global awareness and confidence in animal-free science assessments.

“We are pleased to partner with ICCS on their mission and science-backed approach to eliminate animal testing in beauty and personal care. Together with like-minded organizations, we can move the industry in a forward direction to make responsible alternatives for assessing ingredient and consumer product safety the norm,” said Katie Sminkey, Product Stewardship Manager at Inolex.

“I am delighted that CTPA has become a member of ICCS. CTPA is proud to champion the use of non-animal test methods to ensure chemical safety. Being able to do this at a global level in partnership with the key stakeholders at ICCS is so important and exciting,” said Dr. Emma Meredith, Director-General of CTPA.
