Surveillance has recently been expanded to include the safety of herbal and cosmetic products. A new phrase has emerged characterizing industry monitoring known as “Kosmetonadzor” to ensure the safety of cosmetic products. Wigan (1997) was the first in the literature to use the term to refer to the safety management of cosmetic products. It is now recognized as a public health concept worldwide. As there is no systematic reporting system, side effects or side effects of cosmetics are relatively insignificant or overlooked. There is a follow-up management system for preparation. In India, market surveillance is usually focused on drug side effects. As a result, more emphasis has been placed on medical devices, blood products, biologics, natural products, and special diets, and less on related side effects. To sum up, Cosmetology refers to the monitoring of cosmetic products that have recently entered the market. Conclusions Cosmetic surveillance is a new approach to regulating the safety of cosmetic products. It is an important component of public health initiatives. As post-sale surveillance of cosmetics becomes more and more common worldwide, malfunctions in these items can be detected and corrected, so safety can be achieved. Physicians Family doctors and general practitioners play an important role in detecting ADRs caused by cosmetic items and, as a result, urge patients to report ADRs. Raising awareness of this new notion will be an important contribution to global public health. In general, the Cosmetovigilance system can avoid both significant and minor adverse effects. Because the notification procedure is critical to the system, healthcare workers must be taught and supported as part of the Cosmetovigilance feedback system. Some regulation modifications are required to keep up with Turkey's developing cosmetics business. In general, cosmetic monitoring systems can prevent both serious and minor side effects. As the reporting process is a key element of the system, medical professionals must be educated and supported in terms of cosmetic oversight within the feedback system. Some regulatory updates are needed to keep pace with the changing Turkish cosmetics market.

“…They can be found in shampoos, soaps, and cleaning products. These chemicals may also irritate the skin and eyes in mild to moderate amounts (Altiokka & Üner, 2022). Darbre et al (2004), Kamel and Ahmed (2022) proposed that preservatives are used to protect cosmetics from microbial contamination and parabens are the most commonly used preservative in cosmetics.…”

Under relevant Malaysian laws, manufacturers or distributors who falsely claim that their cosmetics are safe are subject to criminal penalties. The question arises as to whether the producers can be responsible for physical as well as emotional injury caused to the consumers of such products. This paper seeks to investigate the potential liability of the manufacturer and distributor of defective cosmetics under the product liability law, which generally aims to protect consumers from unsafe products. The paper concentrates on the provisions of strict liability for defective products under Section X of the Consumer Protection Act 1999. The main issues to be resolved are whether cosmetics containing harmful substances can be considered as 'defective' and what kind of injury can be recovered by the victims. This study's findings provide producers and suppliers with information regarding their civil liability for supplying presumably safe cosmetics and the consumer's ability to obtain redress for harm caused by cosmetics comprising harmful ingredients.

Background The term “Cosmetovigilance” was first introduced as a new term for addressing the safety of cosmetic products. There is still significant variability across the community regarding knowledge as well as legislation about cosmeceuticals. Methods An organized set of 38 questions addressing demographics, knowledge, practices, attitudes, and perceptions toward cosmetics along with additional 10 questions about reporting cosmetic adverse drug reactions were used to conduct a cross-sectional study. Using a convenience sample of 601 cosmetics consumers in Saudi Arabia, a Microsoft form was used to administer the questionnaire. The data analysis was performed using a statistical package for social science analysis (SPSS). Results The overall percentage of participants who answered the questions related to the knowledge was 89.6% (539/601). The association between knowledge score and demographic characteristics was explored. None of the demographic variables showed a significant association with knowledge (p > 0.05). Regarding attitudes, significant associations were found with age, marital status, income, and nationality (p < 0.001). Out of the 323 participants who completed the additional part of the questionnaire, 150 (46.4%) experienced cosmetic-related side effects, but only 1.3% reported the incidence of these effects. The occurrence of adverse effects connected to cosmetics is more common in women, younger age groups, and people who have ever experienced allergies (p < 0.001). Conclusion Our findings support the huge need for continued efforts to fully increase consumers' awareness of regulatory oversight and the importance of reporting adverse events to completely ensure the safety of cosmetic products in Saudi Arabia.
