Abstract

Cosmetics are items that are used to glorify or change facial looks and appearance as well as provide fragrance to the body. Their main aim is to cleanse, beautify, facilitate attractiveness, and change physical looks. Women use many different beauty products, such as skin care, hair, perfume, oral hygiene, and nail care items, which may include harmful substances that are threatening to their health. The controversy around cosmetics and beauty products promoting cancer threat has grown over the previous few years. According to data from the European Cancer Registries, postmenopausal and very young women are now seeing an increase in the occurrence of breast cancer, which is the more frequent form of cancer in women. Genetic predisposition, long-term hormone replacement treatment, and various environmental variables, including air pollution, agrochemicals, alcohol, and specific consumer goods like cosmetic additives, are some of the causes of breast cancer. Additionally, the USFDA made all adverse event reports, including those involving concerns about cosmetics, publicly accessible the Adverse Event Reporting System (CAERS) of the Centre for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition in 2016. In this period of modernization, CAERS is of limited use since there is a lack of different supporting data, such as demographic information, medical history, or linked product usage, and because the existing data is vulnerable to severe reporting bias. Despite the system's potential to protect the public's health, the database's future usefulness will depend on a wide range of reporting participants, more thorough reporting, and concurrent investments in regulatory science and enhanced molecular techniques.
