Te Protejo Launches Certification Contest for Cruelty-Free Cosmetics in Latin America

Te Protejo, an organization dedicated to ending animal testing in the Latin American cosmetics industry, has launched a competition to increase the availability of cruelty-free products in the region. The contest, now in its second year, will allow four cosmetic brands to access Te Protejo's certification process for free, along with other benefits. Companies in the cosmetics, household cleaning, and pet care sectors from 33 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean are encouraged to apply, with a focus on Chile, Brazil, and Mexico.

The demand for vegan cosmetics is rapidly increasing, driven by consumer preferences for natural, cruelty-free, and plant-based products. This market is expected to more than double in value by 2034. To help brands meet this growing demand, Te Protejo is offering a free preliminary evaluation to determine their eligibility for certification. By participating in this contest, brands can demonstrate their commitment to animal welfare and provide consumers with truly ethical products.
