[Canada] Health Canada Announces Updates to the Cosmetic Notification Form

Health Canada announced an update to the Cosmetic Notification Form in preparation for upcoming regulation changes. The key updates refer to Section 5 – Ingredients.

A new checkbox titled Fragrance Allergens has been added – so the users can now enter the fragrance allergens, when these are present in the formulation above the disclosure threshold.

The obligation to disclose reportable fragrance allergens will commence from April 2026 and involves the below:

The presence and concentration (or concentration range) of fragrance allergens must be disclosed in the Cosmetic Notification Form if present at levels exceeding 0.01% in rinse-off products or 0.001% in leave-on products.
