In the course of the work, publications of domestic and foreign publications and guidelines of international organizations, which are used for testing cosmetic products, were analyzed.Results. On the basis of data analysis, alternative methods and current guidelines of international organizations for testing cosmetic products were evaluated. The problematic issues that require solutions for the introduction in Ukraine of approaches to testing cosmetic products without the use of animals have been identified.Conclusions. The introduction of alternative methods for assessing the toxicity of cosmetic products is a challenge both for Ukraine and other countries of the world. This is primarily due to the lack of evaluation protocols for all toxicological endpoints and cosmetic formulations containing plant raw materials and nanomaterials. For Ukraine, the issues of approval of alternative methods, testing strategies and the limited number of specialists with experience with alternative models and knowledge of in vitro methods remains open.
