[USA] (FAERS) FDA Adverse Event Reporting System

On September 12, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the launch of the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) Public Dashboard for Cosmetic Products, an interactive tool designed to facilitate the public’s ability to query real-time adverse event data on cosmetic products.

The intention of this tool is to expand access of FAERS data to the general public to search for information related to human adverse events reported to the FDA by the pharmaceutical industry, healthcare providers and consumers.

An additional tool has been added to the FAERS platform: Cosmetic Dashboard.

The dashboard is dedicated exclusively to reports of cosmetic product adverse events, making the data easier to search. It includes serious adverse event reports submitted by responsible persons for cosmetic products under requirements established by the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA), as well as voluntary adverse event reports submitted to the FDA by healthcare professionals, consumers, salon professionals, cosmetologists and others.

The FAERS dashboard contains adverse event reports for cosmetic products, such as moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners, hair dyes and tattoo.
