Canadian Cosmetics Regulations Compliance Services
Helping cosmetic companies comply with Canada’s ingredient, notification, claim substantiation, and product labelling regulatory requirements.
In Canada, cosmetic products in Canada are defined as "any substance or mixture of substances, manufactured, sold or represented for use in cleansing, improving or altering the complexion, skin, hair or teeth and includes deodorants and perfumes."
Cosmetic companies are required to complete a Cosmetic Notification Form within the first 10 days of the sale of any cosmetic product. Following notification, Health Canada may request that evidence of the safety of a product also be submitted. The product, its ingredients, claims, and labelling must all comply with Canadian cosmetic regulations:
- Canadian Environmental Assessment Regulations (EAR)
- Canadian New Substances Notification (NSN) Regulations
