The US-based Institute for In Vitro Sciences (IIVS) has announced it is to join the working group for China’s National Institute for Food and Drug Control (NIFDC) to find on alternatives for animal testing in cosmetics.
The newly established group was announced by the NIFDC during their 2nd International Conference on Cosmetics Alternative Methods held in Beijing in September. It will advise on research and validation efforts to help establish alternatives to animal tests in China.
