Cosmetovigilance is a critical and well maintained platform to focus on the monitoring, assessing and preventing adverse effects associated with cosmetic products. Now globally the cosmetic industry is expanding so in order to ensure the safety and efficacy of such cosmetic products there should be a surveillance system which is the cosmetovigilance. Key elements are adverse event reporting, signal detection, and post-market surveillance. The article is expanding to global regulatory approaches, compared with European Union regulatory affairs. The main challenges faced are underreporting, varying regulatory standards, and the rise of unregulated online markets. The usage of digital tools, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics are discussed as transformative solutions to enhance cosmetovigilance systems. When this has been established then everyone should follow the guidelines including manufacturers, healthcare professionals and consumers too. The review underscores the need for harmonized global standards and increased consumer awareness to bridge existing gaps. By promoting proactive safety measures and transparency, cosmetovigilance not only safeguards public health but also supports innovation and trust in the cosmetic industry.
