The resolution urges the President and Congress of the United States to enact the "Humane Cosmetics Act of 2023," which aims to prohibit the testing of cosmetics on animals and the sale or transport of any cosmetics that have been developed or manufactured using animal testing. It highlights the inhumane treatment of animals in testing procedures, which often do not accurately predict human outcomes, and emphasizes the availability of effective non-animal testing alternatives. The resolution notes that many countries, including the European Union and India, have already implemented similar bans, and it advocates for the U.S. to align its cosmetics policy with these nations.

The resolution also points out that the cosmetics industry has access to safer and more cost-effective testing methods that do not involve animal suffering, and that many American cosmetics companies already comply with animal testing bans in other countries. With support from over 370 companies and bipartisan cosponsorship, the resolution asserts that enacting the Humane Cosmetics Act would not only reduce animal testing globally but also demonstrate moral leadership by the United States without jeopardizing product safety or economic interests.
