Cosmetovigilance: A review of the current literature

The term "pharmacovigilance" defines the activities related to the collection, detection, assessment, monitoring, and prevention of adverse reactions occurring with medications. Recently, the spectrum of "-vigilance" has broadened to include safety of herbal products and cosmetic products as well. "Cosmetovigilance" was introduced as a new term used for defining surveillance carried out by industry to address the safety of cosmetic products. It was first used in literature by Vigan (1997) to refer to the monitoring of cosmetic product safety. Today, it is recognized globally as a concept of public health. For this systematic review, a PubMed search was conducted in July 2018 for the term "cosmetovigilance."
