IS ANIMAL TESTING ALLOWED IN THE EU IN 2021?

Is this news really true? This somehow doesn’t come as shocking as it should’ve been from the side of the EU as their ban on animal testing on cosmetics already had some loopholes that we might have overlooked until recently. Some ingredients were still being tested under the ‘REACH’ law on chemical ingredients by overriding the animal testing law, and this is the very first loophole. This basically implies that the brands that claimed to be ‘cruelty-free’ might not be as cruelty-free as we thought in the EU, the US, and many other countries.
