Cover Story: The regulation of cosmetics in the European Union has evolved substantially since the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, which established stringent safety and quality standards. This regulatory milestone reinforced the ban on carcinogenic, mutagenic, and reproductive toxic (CMR) substances and prohibited animal testing, aligning with modern ethical and scientific trends. However, gaps remain, particularly in post-market surveillance and environmental impact assessments, as evidenced by the bioaccumulation of UV filters in aquatic ecosystems. This article examines these weaknesses, highlighting advances in alternative methodologies for risk assessment and emphasizing the need for enhanced rigor in cosmetovigilance to balance innovation, consumer safety, and environmental sustainability.
