Health Canada and FDA require all cosmetic products sold in Canada and USA to be manufactured, packaged, and stored under hygienic conditions. Regulatory authorities are always monitoring misbranded or adulterated commodities, or inappropriate product packaging. Manufacturers or importers are required to carry a safety assessment before marketing their cosmetic products. According to Health Canada, businesses must notify the regulatory authorities that they are selling cosmetics and must provide a list of the product’s ingredients.
Products must adhere to cosmetic labelling regulations i.e. Food and Drugs Act and Cosmetic Regulations in Canada and FD&C Act and FP&L Act in USA.
Regulatory authorities inspect locations where cosmetics are manufactured or stored, and any advertising or labelling material related to a product.
Product safety assessment is encoded in legal or regulatory responsibilities. Manufacturers, importers, distributors or others must conduct a Safety Assessment of their products to ensure only safe products reach consumers.
Health Canada and FDA can issue a warning letter and take legal action against a cosmetic product on the market if they find information showing that the product is adulterated or misbranded.
Information that must appear on the label of a pre-packaged cosmetic include product identification in English (and French in Canada), product's net quantity declaration in metric units, and identity and location of business of the dealer.
