Animal testing, also known as animal experimentation, animal research and in vivo testing, is the use of non-human animals in experiments that seek to control the variables that affect the behavior or biological system under study.

This approach can be contrasted with field studies in which animals are observed in their natural environments.

Experimental research with animals is usually conducted in universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, defense establishments and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry.

The focus of animal testing varies on a continuum from pure research, done with little regard to the uses to which understanding may be put, to applied research, which may focus on answering some question of great practical importance, such as finding a cure for a disease.

Examples of applied research include testing, breeding, defense research and toxicology, including cosmetics testing.

In education, animal testing is sometimes a component of biology or psychology courses.

The practice is regulated to varying degrees in different countries.

Parabens are a class of widely used preservatives in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.

Chemically, they are a series of parahydroxybenzoates or esters of parahydroxybenzoic acid (also known as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid).

Parabens are effective preservatives in many types of formulas.

These compounds, and their salts, are used primarily for their bactericidal and fungicidal properties.

They can be found in shampoos, commercial moisturizers, shaving gels, personal lubricants, topical/parenteral pharmaceuticals, spray tanning solution, makeup, and toothpaste.

They are also used as food additives.

Cosmetics, also known as make-up, are substances or products used to enhance or alter the appearance or fragrance of the body.

Many cosmetics are designed for use of applying to the face and hair.

They are generally mixtures of chemical compounds; some being derived from natural sources (such as coconut oil), and some being synthetics.

Common cosmetics include lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, foundation, rouge, skin cleansers and skin lotions, shampoo, hairstyling products (gel, hair spray, etc), perfume and cologne.

An organic compound is virtually any chemical compound that contains carbon, although a consensus definition remains elusive and likely arbitrary.

Organic compounds are rare terrestrially, but of central importance because all known life is based on organic compounds.

The most basic petrochemicals are considered the building blocks of organic chemistry.

A natural product is a chemical compound or substance produced by a living organism—that is, found in nature.

In the broadest sense, natural products include any substance produced by life.

Natural products can also be prepared by chemical synthesis (both semisynthesis and total synthesis) and have played a central role in the development of the field of organic chemistry by providing challenging synthetic targets.

The term natural product has also been extended for commercial purposes to refer to cosmetics, dietary supplements, and foods produced from natural sources without added artificial ingredients.
