Cosmetic products include any substance or mixture of substances for use in cleansing, improving or altering the complexion, skin, hair or teeth. For example:
    · Beauty products such as make-up, fragrances, nail polish, etc.
    ·     Skin care products such as soaps, shampoos, bath salts, skin creams, lotions, shaving creams, deodorants, etc.



In Canada, cosmetics are subject to two laws:

Whoever manufactures, imports, distributes and/or sells cosmetic products in Canada must be familiar with the applicable regulations and comply with them. Manufacturers and/or importers must ensure that their products meet all the requirements of the Food and Drugs Act and the Cosmetic Regulations.

You can find all relevant information at Health Canada’s Cosmetics Program site: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/cosmet-person/index-eng.php. You will find below an overview of the requirements applicable to cosmetics:
    · Notification: Manufacturers and importers must notify Health Canada within 10 days after they first sell a cosmetic in Canada. The manufacturer, importer or any other authorized person can file a notification. The notification must include the name of the companies responsible, the function of the cosmetic as well as the ingredients and their concentrations. · Hotlist: Some ingredients are prohibited or limited in cosmetics. Others require bilingual warnings on the product label. Health Canada has listed all these ingredients in a document titled the Ingredient Hotlist. Product manufacturers or importers are responsible for ensuring that their products will not have any negative effects on the health of users, whether the ingredients are on the Hotlist or not. 
    · Labelling: Labeling requirements are established in sections 17 to 27 of the Cosmetic Regulations. The labeling on cosmetics must include:

      o The name of the product in English and French;
      o The name and address of the manufacturer or distributor;
      o The instructions for safe use, including warnings, in English and French;
      o The list of ingredients, in INCI format (      International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients);
      o The net quantity, in metric measuring units (this requirement falls under the       Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act. For more information, consult the       Guide:http://www.competitionbureau.gc.ca/eic/site/cb-bc.nsf/eng/01248.html ).

Cosmetic vs. Therapeutic Claims

The Food and Drugs Act clearly defines the terms “drug” and “cosmetic”. Following is a summary of these definitions:
    · Cosmetic: any substance or mixture of substances for use in cleansing, improving or altering the complexion, skin, hair or teeth.
    ·     Drug: any substance or mixture of substances for use in the diagnosis or treatment of a disease, restoring organic functions or disinfection of premises.

These definitions have an impact on the classification of your product. In Canada, a product may be a drug or a cosmetic, but not both at the same time.

There are two factors that must be considered when determining whether a product is regulated as a cosmetic as opposed to a medication, natural health product, food etc
    · Its representation (labelling, advertising, etc.);
    · Its composition (ingredients).

Products that claim to have a therapeutic effect, such as the prevention or treatment of a disease OR that contain certain ingredients that are authorized solely in medications or natural health products are not cosmetic products.

For example, if a manufacturer includes a sun protection factor (SPF) in a product such as a body cream, the product will be treated as a health product in Canada and must be subject to an application for a drug identification number (DIN) or a natural product number (NPN), depending on its composition, before being marketed.
