The Importance of Cosmetic Product Notifications in Canada: A Guide to Compliance

In Canada, cosmetic products must adhere to strict regulatory standards to guarantee consumer safety and product quality. Health Canada requires the submission of the Cosmetic Notification Form (CNF) for all cosmetic items prior to market entry. This guide highlights the significance of cosmetic product notifications and offers a detailed step-by-step approach to help brands remain compliant. The Importance of Cosmetic Notifications The CNF is Health Canada’s mechanism for ensuring the safety of cosmetic products and confirming that ingredients do not pose health risks. Through cosmetic notifications, Health Canada can monitor products and their ingredients, identify potential hazards, and conduct market surveillance as needed. Compliance with notification requirements is vital for brands to safeguard their reputation, avert legal issues, and sustain consumer trust. Essential Regulations for Cosmetic Compliance in Canada Canada’s Food and Drugs Act: Cosmetics are governed by this act, specifically through the Cosmetic Regulations it encompasses. It broadly defines cosmetics, including makeup, skincare, haircare, and dental hygiene products. Prohibited and Restricted Ingredients: Health Canada maintains a detailed list of substances that are prohibited or restricted in the Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist. Manufacturers must ensure products exclude banned substances and comply with concentration limits for restricted ingredients. Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP): While not mandatory, following GMP standards is strongly advised to ensure product safety and quality. Compliance with GMP reflects a dedication to quality control, which benefits companies during Health Canada’s monitoring processes. Steps for Submitting a Cosmetic Notification Form (CNF) Fill Out the Cosmetic Notification Form (CNF): The CNF requires crucial details such as the product’s brand name, intended use, ingredient list, and whether it is a rinse-off or leave-on product. For each ingredient, the specific concentration and range of concentration must be indicated, enabling Health Canada to assess product safety effectively. Submission Timeline: The CNF must be submitted to Health Canada within 10 days of launching a product in Canada. This is applicable to all new launches, reformulations, or rebranded items. Electronic Submission: Health Canada mandates electronic submission of the CNF through the Cosmetics Notification System. Companies receive a confirmation upon successful submission, which serves as proof of regulatory compliance. Post-Submission Compliance and Monitoring After submitting the CNF, companies must uphold compliance with Health Canada’s standards and be ready for post-market evaluations. Health Canada performs inspections and may request documents such as safety data, product labels, or formulation re-evaluations to confirm compliance. Companies need to report any adverse effects linked to their products promptly and maintain records of complaints, which could be audited during inspections. Conclusion Submitting a Cosmetic Notification Form goes beyond a regulatory requirement; it signifies a commitment to consumer safety and brand integrity in Canada. By adhering to Health Canada’s regulations and fostering transparency, brands can confidently position themselves in Canada’s dynamic cosmetics market. Reach out to our regulatory specialists at Freyr for guidance on CNF submissions and regulatory assistance for a smooth entry into the Canadian

1. Most unionized US rail workers now have new sick leave

More than 60% of U.S. unionized railroad workers at major railroads are now covered by new sick leave agreements, a trade group said Monday.

Last year railroads came under fire for not agreeing to paid sick leave during labor negotiations.

2. Missing teen found after being lost in the wilderness for 50 hours

Esther Wang, 16, had been hiking with three other people through the Maple Ridge park on Tuesday.

The group made it to Steve’s lookout around 2:45 p.m. that day.However, when they headed back down to the campsite, after about 15 minutes of hiking, the group leader realized Wang was missing. They returned to the lookout to look for Wang but couldn’t find her. The leader headed to the trail entrance to notify a park ranger and police.

“Esther Wang has been located. She’s healthy, she is happy and she’s with family.”

3. A dog has retrieved 155 discs from woods. They’ll be on sale soon, with proceeds going to the park in West Virginia where they were found

Meet Daisy, the yellow Labrador retriever with a unique talent for finding lost Frisbee golf discs at Grand Vue Park in West Virginia. Four years ago, while on a walk with her owner Kelly Mason, Daisy discovered a disc in the woods and proudly brought it back. Since then, Daisy's obsession with finding stray discs has grown, and she has collected an impressive cache of 155 discs.

Mason and park officials have now come up with a plan to return the discs to their owners if they are labeled, and any unclaimed discs will be sold as a fundraiser to support the park's disc golf courses. Daisy's Discs is expected to be a success, with many excited about the possibility of recovering their lost discs thanks to Daisy's remarkable skills.

4. Australian earless dragon last seen in 1969 rediscovered in secret location

A tiny earless dragon feared to be extinct in the wild has been sighted for the first time in more than 50 years – at a location that is being kept secret to help preservation efforts.

6. Canada Officially Bans Cosmetic Testing on Animals

The fight for cruelty-free beauty in Canada has seen a significant breakthrough as the Canadian government legislates a full ban on cosmetic animal testing and trade, marking a victory for Animal rights advocates and eco-conscious consumers.

This landmark decision is part of the Budget Implementation Act (Bill C-47), not only prohibiting cosmetic animal testing but also putting an end to the sale of cosmetics that use new animal testing data for safety substantiation.

7. Belize certified malaria-free by WHO

The World Health Organization (WHO) has certified Belize as malaria-free, following the country’s over 70 years of continued efforts to stamp out the disease.

“WHO congratulates the people and government of Belize and their network of global and local partners for this achievement”, said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “Belize is another example of how, with the right tools and the right approach, we can dream of a malaria-free future.”

Son's Game

Summary: What happens when jamie carries your son to his game by himself?

Word Count:792

Warnings: this was wrote before Jamie got resigned.

“i want mommy.” Noah says for the tenth time in the past minute, crossing his arms with a pout on his face, As his bangs kept going into his eyes and had a bright blue hockey jersey which brought out his big blue eyes that He definitely got from his dad.

“i told you, she’ll be here before your game starts.” Jamie says as he starts to tie his sons skates and makes sure they are tied good.

“aww, He misses his mommy?” one of the moms sitting on the bleachers near the rink she asks, obviously eavesdropping on the conversation.

“yeah.” Jamie says, chuckling as Noah buries his face into his chest in shyness. “she had an appointment this morning, but she will be here soon.”

Jamie is uncomfortable with the amount of attention the other moms give him. it’s probably because he always takes Noah to practice, leaving you home to cook dinner and give a quick tidy up or relax while he watches his adorable attempts of skating fast to make the puck into the goal. he loves being involved in his son's life even more so since he was taking a break from hockey.

“will this be his first game of the season?”

“it will.” he says kindly with a big smile as the Canadian in him wouldn’t let him be rude.

“mommy isn’t around much, huh?” the mom still pries, this time directing her question to Noah

Noah sniffles, trying to hold back his cries for a moment, before letting them out, “leave me alone, i want my mommy!” 

“i know, Noah.” Jamie says, shushing her, with a kind voice tries to stick up for his wife . “Noah’s mom, and my wife, is a wonderful mother who is very much invested in her son’s life. She is just also a busy woman, who runs her own business. just because i bring Noah to practice and games, doesn’t give you any right to speculate”

the woman frowns and finally turns away, which does make Noah stop crying, but doesn’t cheer him up enough to do anything but stay close to his dad.

“you better not be pouting over me.”

Noah being the mama’s boy he is instantly perks up at your voice. “mommy, mommy, mommy!” He launches himself at you, and you catch him in a hug.

“hi baby.” you hold him close making sure he doesn’t fall, letting him bury his head into your neck.

“hello, beautiful.” Jamie says as you lean down to give him a kiss. he deepens it with a hand on the back of your neck, hoping that all those other women trying (and failing embarrassingly) to flirt with him when he’s alone with Noah realize how head over heels he is in love with you.

“it’s almost time for your game, Noah .” Jamie says, noticing the other boys warming up.

“okay, daddy!” Noah hops up off your lap, grabbing his hockey stick carefully walking over to his other teammates. 

“i’m so glad i could make it.” you say, running your hand through Jamie’s hair and giving him another kiss as you watch Noah take the ice for warmups.

“me too. He’s so excited for you to watch. doesn’t even care about his dad.” he squeezes your side to show that he was joking. “how was your appointment?”

you’re about to answer when you hear a scoff. you look up, unbeknownst to you it’s the close friend of the woman flirting with jamie earlier. “is there a problem?” you were never one to back down from confrontation.

“appointment? what was this one for? getting your butt done just like your boobs?”

your mouth drops open in shock. you’ve never gotten any cosmetic surgery, but even if you had, it is not this womans business who you’ve never even seen before to comment on it.

“you know, i’m glad you think my natural boobs are so good that they’re fake. it’s a real compliment to me.”

���that’s not-” the woman goes to reply, but you cut her off.

“i bet you’re one of those weird moms who my husband has told me has been attempting to flirt with him and might I added your alittle too old for him. i’ll let you know to back off right now because the appointment i went to was a pregnancy check up. he’s very happy with me. he’s not interested in you.”

Jamie doesn’t even bother to hold back his laugh as she gets up and storms off with her mother gang to the other side of the rink

“she’s got a shit view now.” you laugh, turning your attention back to Noah, completely unbothered by the interaction.

“i love you.” Jamie grins

“I love you more”

whats your opinion on the email leaks linking the rampant transphobic legislation in america to future plans to remove gay rights? are you angry that we were right all along? are you going to deny that trans people have been saying this THE WHOLE DAMN TIME?

You are basically asking me "why are conservatives opportunistically using legislation to prevent predatory doctors and cosmetic surgeons from disabling people (including minors) for life while taking all their money, and to protect women from men who won't listen to "stay out of women's spaces, which we've created for ourselves out of safety", why are they using it now to hurt gay people and women?" That's a question for the conservatives, dude. By creating a political environment where caring about women's sex-based rights and being against medical malpractice for profit makes you a transphobic right-wing lunatic, the trans lobby has made it impossible for left-wing politicians to even have any sort of meaningful discussion about these subjects without risking their careers (no discussion, remember?), leaving it up to actual right-wing lunatics to make the decisions. Of course they're going to use it to their advantage, they're conservatives. This is not the fault of feminists. You guys should probably should start letting people have nuanced discussions about what trans rights activists are really asking for and what is ethically sound so decent laws can be created, instead of leaving all the talking to the misogynist homophobic conservatives while the liberals sit around, afraid to open their mouths because they've been successfully shouted down.

Also I'm Canadian lol. I can't even vote in America, it's kind of a you problem to fix this.

Animal rights organizations in Canada are celebrating the latest legislation that just got passed which bans cosmetic testing on animals.

On Thursday, June 22, the Canadian government passed measures through the Budget Implementation Act, Bill C-47. The latest amendments prohibit selling cosmetics that "rely on new animal testing data to establish the product's safety, and false or misleading labelling pertaining to the testing of cosmetics on animals."

A coalition of animal protection advocates and beauty industry leaders say they've been "working closely with the Canadian government for several years to advance workable legislation to ban cosmetics animal testing in Canada."

Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Health, Government of Canada, said in a release that "testing cosmetics on animals is both cruel and unnecessary." [...]

[blossoms-phan]

hi friends! since it’s been 3 months I thought I’d do a little updated about me :p

you can call me blossoms! 🌸 comes from the url obviously which I decided on in seconds when sitting in the middle of my bed making this blog at 3am bc I love dan and phil and cherry blossoms/japan/japhan etc etc

(as a side note I don’t share a lot of personally identifying info on here for a lot of reasons, don’t wanna be found out + professional reasons and tumblr is a great platform for having being a phannie as my main identity but I will occasionally overshare in the tags or random posts. for the most vague details I’m canadian and a poc ig? if you want to be friends or discuss anything in more detail im happy to share in dms just not in the general void lol)

some past fandoms I’ve been a part of tumblr or otherwise: avengers/marvel (this was in the peak in like 2016 and I followed it probably up until 2020 but dgaf anymore soz), marvel’s daredevil (their best show still love it), one direction/harry styles (harry was prob my biggest interest/fandom I was heavily involved in until like 2022 ish, i followed a bunch of accounts on my other blog and fan pages, went to his first solo tour in 2018, basically followed his every move- ik he’s not some underground artist but I lost interest when he kinda boomed and became SUPER popular I miss the early days of his solo era lol but still like his music), criminal minds, I think those are the main ones obv I lurk anytime I have a special interest lol

artists I like: twenty one pilots, arctic monkeys, the 1975, hozier, frank ocean, bad suns, muse, sufjan stevens, lana del rey, wallows, ed sheeran, lorde, zayn/hs/niall horan, paramore, the smiths, 5sos, kendrick lamar, fka twigs, fleetwood mac (this is off the top of my head just main ones ig there’s lots of other artists with specific songs I like and I also listen to my playlists from middle school often with p!atd and fob just the older stuff tho)

fave tv: derry girls, criminal minds, the office, gilmore girls, brooklyn 99, community, freaks and geeks, gossip girl, new girl, the end of the fucking world (short but a personal fave), fleabag, mindhunter- I like basic nbc sitcoms ok what can I say but currently watching Buffy and there’s lots of things on my watchlist like twin peaks I just never have time (aka always watching YouTube/dnp)

i like to think of myself as a cinephile when I really don’t watch as many movies as I’d like to bc of the same reasons listed above but I keep up with what’s happening in the film world and yeah some of my faves include: little women, sing street, before sunrise, aftersun, clueless, call me by your name, the perks of being a wallflower, big hero 6, la la land, zodiac, the social network, scream, the batman, bones and all, knives out, hp/twilight series

random interests: the scream franchise/saw/horror, until dawn (the game), youtube video essays, true crime content/criminology (in the most respectful way I promise I studied it and mean like actual data and researched podcasts not the weirdos that idolize certain people cough cough), perfumes/cosmetics, art, fashion, baking/food in gen, journaling, pinterest, reading (literary fiction/mystery/some ya)

idk what you were expecting this is literally all media but we’re all media consumers here lmao and I thought this might be a fun way to connect with other phannies if we share similar interests outside of dnp :3
