Cosmetic Facility Registration - Health Canada
Canada Health Compliance for Foreign Manufacturers
To legally sell cosmetic products in Canada, foreign manufacturers and importers must complete the required cosmetic facility registration with Health Canada.
This process ensures compliance with national Cosmetic Regulations and demonstrates that your operations meet Canada’s high standards for product safety and quality.
You can count on Sobel to guide your company every step of the way. Our service supports foreign entities through the entire registration process — from completing the Cosmetic Notification Form (CNF) to aligning with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).
Whether you’re entering the Canadian market for the first time or updating existing registrations, we help you meet all regulatory requirements without unnecessary delays.
How we support your Cosmetic Facility Registration in Canada
Navigating Canadian regulatory procedures can be complex, especially for international companies. Our support includes:
CNF preparation and submission: We complete and file the Cosmetic Notification Form with Health Canada, with all required details;
Canadian address compliance: As of March 2025, Health Canada requires a Canadian address — we help you appoint a local representative or agent if needed;
Regulatory alignment: We ensure your facility meets all Health Canada requirements for foreign cosmetic manufacturer registration;
GMP guidance: Support in aligning your manufacturing practices with Canadian expectations to avoid non-compliance due to unsanitary or unsafe production conditions;
Ongoing support: We remain available to assist with amendments, re-submissions, or inspection-related requests from Health Canada.
With this support, your facility registration is handled correctly — giving you peace of mind and quicker access to the Canadian market.
Why do you need this service?
A Canadian address is required on all CNFs. Without it, your product notification may be rejected or delayed.
Health Canada may deny entry to products from unregistered or non-compliant manufacturers.
Having support from regulatory experts avoids common errors and accelerates approval.
If you’re a foreign manufacturer or importer, registering your cosmetic facility with Health Canada is mandatory, with requirements that must be followed precisely.
With Sobel’s guidance, your facility registration process becomes clear, compliant, and aligned with Canada’s evolving cosmetic regulations.
