Amendment to Cosmetic Advertising and Labelling Claims
As a service to our clients and readers we try to keep everyone up to date on changes to Health Canada Cosmetic Guidelines. This summer they made revisions to the Health Canada Guidelines for Cosmetic Advertising and Labelling Claims and have issued a summary document which details just the amendments to the guidelines which were originally established in 2006. We recommend that you review this information if you are looking to create new or revise any of your marketing materials or product label copy.
At Pravada, we offer services to assist clients with Health Canada regulatory requirements including Health Canada Cosmetic Notification Forms. Check out our website at www.pravada.ca or call us at (905) 412-3302 for further information.
