What it takes to sell a cosmetic in Canada
In Canada, every cosmetic must be notified to Health Canada within 10 days of its first sale, and its ingredients are checked against the Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist of prohibited and restricted ingredients. Label information must be in French and English, and the ingredient list follows the new fragrance allergen disclosure rules.
