The experimental testees of traditional cosmetics safety evaluation are mainly mice or rabbits. As of March 2009, the EU forbade the useof animals in cosmetics testing. Starting from 2013, the EU further forbade the sales in the EU region of cosmetics that used animals in toxicity tests. Therefore, various leading cosmetics companies and academic institutions are actively engaged indeveloping non-animal safety testing methods. Currently, the methods mainly involve the use of cells to test toxicity. There are also other non-animal methods that test whether the cosmetics will restrain some enzyme activitiesor change the active macromolecular structure, resulting in cellular degeneration. These methodsare like this experiment, using non-living methods to test toxicity. Bonding is an integral bonding in the composition of an organism. A substance that damages hydrogen bonds may also damage or prevent the formation of the macromolecular structure, which is toxic to human bodies.
