Compliance Verification Project 2024-2025: Cosmetic Regulations
Consumer Product Enforcement Summary Report
Fiscal Year 2024-2025
Summary
The Consumer Product Safety Program (CPSP) administers and enforces the Food and Drugs Act and Cosmetic Regulations.
The purpose of this Compliance Verification (CV) project was to verify industry's compliance of cosmetic products containing eucalyptus oil with the requirements of the Cosmetic Regulations.
For this project, the CPSP carried out a market survey to determine the presence of establishments selling, importing, or manufacturing cosmetic products containing eucalyptus oil in Canada. Compliance of select cosmetics products (from that survey) was determined through an evaluation process where Health Canada inspectors visited establishments both online and in-person and visually inspected relevant products. Compliance with the Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist conditions for eucalyptus oil was verified by Health Canada inspectors at the time of inspection.
Over the course of the 2024-2025 fiscal year, visual examination of the labels of 96 different products was carried out, where 41 out of the 96 products were imported. The evaluation resulted in 30 stop distributions and 31 commitments to address non-compliance. There were 35 instances where no corrective action was required.

Disclaimer: Inspectors apply a systematic bias during the selection of establishments and samples. Inspectors do not select products randomly; instead, they select the ones that are more likely not to meet health and safety requirements. Due to this biased nature of sampling and the fact that sample sizes within CV projects are very small, Health Canada does not consider the findings of CV projects to reflect overall market compliance, unless otherwise stated. Note that these summary reports relate only to the product(s) actually tested and the specific criteria measured in this project.
