The beauty aisle has fundamentally changed. Gone are the days when consumer loyalty was built on glossy packaging and celebrity endorsements. Today’s shopper is a beauty detective, armed with a smartphone and a list of questions. They are flipping bottles, scrutinizing ingredient lists and demanding to know not just what’s in their products, but why it’s there and if it’s really safe. This seismic shift has pushed the cosmetic industry toward unprecedented transparency, yet it also exposes a paradox while more information is available than ever before it often leads to more confusion than clarity.

DF Signal AI is an AI-powered safety signal management solution for pharma, cosmetics, vaccines, nutraceuticals, and medical devices that offers advanced, accurate, and comprehensive coverage of signal detection and risk management with a great user experience and compliance assurance. DF Signal AI provides a powerful set of analytics and insights to enable configurable, active, and passive surveillance of signals based on drug–event combinations. The solution offers statistical scores automatically on top of safety data ingested from multiple regulatory agency portals and company safety databases.

With global regulations tightening—like the U.S. MoCRA and consumers demanding ever-greater transparency, cosmetics companies can no longer relegate safety vigilance to the back burner. Estée Lauder faced mounting costs and inefficiencies as its highly manual safety operations struggled to keep pace across diverse markets. That all changed when they partnered with Datafoundry and adopted DF CosmetoShield AI: the first AI-powered, end-to-end safety vigilance platform built specifically for cosmetics and personal care. By automating intake, assessment, and reporting within a fully compliant framework, this intelligent SaaS solution introduced structure and consistency, significantly reduced processing times, delivered millions in operational savings, and strengthened both regulatory compliance and team efficiency. This case demonstrates how purpose-built AI solutions like DF CosmetoShield AI have quickly set the benchmark for brands seeking scalable, compliant, and efficient safety systems. By harnessing advanced automation and machine learning, the platform delivers rigorous regulatory adherence across global markets while driving significant return on investment—streamlining workflows, reducing manual overhead, and empowering safety teams to focus on higher-value tasks.

The Cosmetovigilance department is responsible for collecting information about product safety and quality. Datafoundry had the opportunity to work with a global cosmetics company that wanted to modernize its Cosmetovigilance processes. This cosmetics company was looking for a technology partner to help it create an AI-based system that would automate their Cosmetovigilance processes. Datafoundry’s DF Safety AI provided them with an AI-based solution that enhanced efficiency, while also providing easier access to data for the employees in the Cosmetovigilance department.
