We have campaigned against the REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) legislation since before it became law, because, like many of the animal protection groups, we were very concerned at the huge increase in animal testing that it would cause. https://www.lush.co.uk/article/fighti...
Despite the concerns, it passed into law in 2007 and is currently being rolled out across Europe. Here we try to explain why we are so worried about REACH animal testing and why consumers should be aware of this largely unknown legislation.
