GMP Guidance for Cosmetics in Canada

GMP Standards for Cosmetic Manufacturing in Canada

Navigating the landscape of cosmetic manufacturing in Canada means staying on top of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).

Whether you’re a local or international company, Health Canada expects manufacturers to follow a clear set of guidelines to ensure the safety, quality, and consistency of cosmetic products sold in the country.

Our GMP guidance service is designed to help cosmetic businesses align their operations with Canadian requirements.

Whether you’re launching new products, expanding into the Canadian market, or simply aiming to optimize current practices, we provide the clarity and support you need to remain compliant and competitive.

How we support your GMP Implementation in Canada

Understanding what qualifies as GMP under Canadian regulations can be complex, especially for foreign manufacturers or companies new to the market. Our guidance simplifies the process through:

Standards interpretation: We break down Health Canada’s expectations into actionable requirements tailored to your operations;
Process evaluation: Your manufacturing procedures are reviewed to identify any gaps or inconsistencies with Canadian GMP norms;
Checklist development: A practical GMP checklist is created to help your team assess compliance on a routine basis;
Documentation recommendations: Get support on what records need to be maintained and how to structure them for audits or inspections;
International alignment: For non-Canadian manufacturers, we provide comparative insights to help bridge regulatory gaps and align with local requirements.

These steps help your facility meet Health Canada GMP expectations — both now and in the future.
