We want to make sure you feel confident, informed, and ready to keep your products on shelves and in the hands of happy customers. We will also implement these updates on our Cosmetic Notification Form Done For You service.

✅ Learn which allergens must be listed

Canada is taking a big step toward transparency and consumer safety by aligning with the European Union’s cosmetic labeling standards. This means stricter requirements for listing fragrance allergens in cosmetic products giving consumers clearer, more detailed information about what they're putting on their skin. Some fragrance ingredients cause allergic contact dermatitis to some people, thus they are considered allergens.

It’s a win for those with sensitivities and a move toward more informed choices across the beauty and personal care industry.

✅ Learn the new INCI formatting

Health Canada will implement new INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) formatting regulations for cosmetic labeling. If you sell or make cosmetics in Canada, it’s important to get familiar with these changes now to stay compliant. These updates will affect how ingredient names must appear on your product labels, making it essential for makers and businesses to adjust their packaging and documentation accordingly. You will also need to specify if your product is rinse-off or leave-on.

✅ Get ahead of the compliance deadlines

Staying ahead of these upcoming changes is essential for anyone selling handmade cosmetics in Canada. With the new INCI formatting rules taking effect in October 2025, now is the time to get informed and ensure your products are fully compliant.
