'Worldwide ban on animal testing should ensure all our cosmetics are cruelty-free'

While all eyes were on the ­Coronation, a 25-year ban on animal testing for make-up ­was lifted – ­flying under the radar.

The Government had already quietly changed the policy to align with EU rules, and that decision was backed earlier this month by a high court ruling.

Animal testing for make-up or its ingredients was completely banned in the UK in 1998.
