ABSTRACT

Pharmacovigilance refers to the tasks of collecting, detecting, assessing, monitoring, and preventing medication-related adverse events. In India, the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Rules control cosmetic, governed by CDSCO. The term "cosmetovigilance" refers to the process of gathering, analysing, and tracking spontaneous reports of unfavourable events that occur during or after normal or reasonably anticipated use of a cosmetic product. Cosmetics have now become a necessity of the hour, since practically everyone uses them on a daily basis in India and increase in its use has led to various side effects. The range of "vigilance" has been expanded to cover the safety of herbal and cosmetic items. However, due to a lack of standardized reporting formats and report validation, understanding and identifying these consequences is difficult. Another stumbling block is the lack of well-established cosmetovigilance system. It is evident that proper application of a cosmetics vigilance system can aid in the control or reduction of hazardous substances in cosmetics.
