Can I use the CPNP for animal testing information?
Can I use the CPNP for animal testing information? The CPNP does not serve as a platform for reporting animal testing information; however, it aligns with EU regulations prohibiting animal testing for cosmetics. Manufacturers must ensure that their products are compliant with the EU ban on animal testing and provide alternative safety assessments to demonstrate product safety. While the CPNP focuses primarily on product notifications, it supports the overarching regulatory framework that promotes cruelty-free practices in cosmetics. Brands should highlight their commitment to non-animal testing methods in their marketing efforts to appeal to consumers who prioritize ethical considerations (European Commission, 2022).
