Cosmetovigilance is a new concept of safety monitoring of cosmetic products which refers to the post marketing surveillance of any health related undesirable effects possibly due to the use of cosmetic products. The purpose of Cosmetovigilance is to collect, analyze and assess the adverse reactions occurring in consumers to identify any potential health risks, thus guaranteeing a further strengthened safety for consumers. Cosmetovigilance also allows to control or rule out potentially hazardous ingredients that may be present in cosmetic products.
