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 yield reliable results for human safety. The resolution points out that many effective non-animal testing methods are available and that the cosmetics industry is already moving towards these alternatives, with over 370 companies supporting the legislation.

By enacting the Humane Cosmetics Act, the United States would align its cosmetics policy with over 30 countries that have already banned animal testing for cosmetics, including the European Union and India. The resolution emphasizes that this legislation would not only reduce animal suffering but also demonstrate moral leadership in the global cosmetics industry without jeopardizing product safety or economic interests. It calls for the transmission of this resolution to key congressional leaders to advocate for the swift passage of the bill.
