The importance of Cosmetics Formula and Label Reviews
Not all cosmetic ingredients permitted elsewhere are allowed in Canada. The Canadian regulatory framework for cosmetics undergoes regular updates with new restrictions and ingredient prohibitions. These changes may require your brand to reformulate products to maintain Canadian market access.
Canadian cosmetic labelling requirements are governed by multiple regulations, including the Food and Drugs Act and Cosmetic Regulations, which impose specific obligations on beauty brands. To gain uninterrupted market access in Canada, beauty brands should proactively meet these regulatory requirements.
The Solutions we offer to Manufacturers
We at Obelis conduct a detailed review of your cosmetic product formulas to ensure compliance with Canadian regulations. We assess your formulations to confirm that they do not contain any banned substances and that all other ingredients are used within the permitted concentration limits set by Health Canada.
Once your formula is verified, we carefully examine your product labels to ensure all mandatory information is present and accurate. This includes correct ingredient listings, bilingual labelling (English and French), and a review of any claims to ensure they are both truthful and permissible. Our support helps you avoid costly errors and ensures a smooth path to market entry in Canada.
