Our Mission

Do you ever wonder if your daily use products were tested on live animals?

For more than a quarter of a century, IVRO's mission has been to reduce the number of animals used in laboratory testing via replacement in vitro (Latin: "in glass") test technologies. Our plant based predictive core test technology has recently been reviewed and adopted at the highest scientific OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) regulatory level. Ocular Irritection® Test Guideline (OECD TG496) is now accepted in 37 countries, including the U.S., where in recent years legal protection has become necessary for in vitro tests to replace live animals.

IVRO President, Atul Jhalani, commented: "We saw the full impact of Covid-19 related revenue decline in the second quarter of fiscal 2021. However, we remained profitable for the first half of fiscal 2021, thanks to our first PPP loan forgiveness falling in this fiscal year. We believe we have started on the path to recovery, as March sales nearly equaled the combined revenues of the previous two months. Our continued improvement in results is tied to the opening of the U.S. and global economies. We continue to make progress by virtually training our new laboratory and large company partners."

IVRO CEO and Chairman, W. Richard Ulmer, added, "Virginia recently became the fourth state in the U.S. to eliminate the use of animal testing for new cosmetics and we are pleased to see that as of May 1^st, animal testing is no longer mandatory for cosmetics sold in China. Maryland is set to become the fifth state in the U.S. with a similar bill on the Governors' desk for signature. Please write or call your representatives to impose an entire U. S. elimination of animal testing for new cosmetics, as Europe did 11 years ago. JOIN our mission to "Help Make Non Animal Testing Famous".
