Lush Animal Testing Awareness Event

On Tuesday 12 November 2024 I attended a reception held by Lush to raise awareness of the issue of animal testing in the cosmetics industry. 

I was pleased to meet and spoke to Hilary Jones (pictured), Global Ethics Director at Lush, who spoke to me about the issues and the Lush Prize.

As well as leading the industry in creating ethical cosmetic products, Lush campaign for an overall transition away from animal testing, calling for the appointment of a Minister for Human Relevant Science to oversee this. 

Founded in 2012, it awards £250,000 annually to initiatives across science and campaigning that work to end or replace animal testing, particularly in the area of toxicology research.  

Lush were founded as an ethical company and should be supported following the pandemic.
