Cosmetics, Personal Care, Health And Beauty Products

The most significant features of the Canadian cosmetic regulatory system are
- 1. The imposition of mandatory notification of all cosmetic products.
- 2. Ensuring the safety of ingredients and products.
- 3. Mandating specific labelling requirements.
- 4. Restricting claims to cosmetic (as opposed to drug) claims.
