FIXED-FEE REVIEW OPTIONS

Clear scope.
Practical regulatory direction.

Each service is designed around a defined review scope, straightforward pricing, and clear next actions. Reviews provide professional regulatory analysis and decision support; they do not constitute regulatory approval, Health Canada approval, legal advice, product certification, or guaranteed market acceptance.

01
STANDARD REVIEW

Canadian Cosmetic Ingredient Review

From $50 / product

A focused review of one submitted cosmetic ingredient list or formulation for Canadian cosmetic regulatory considerations.

Pricing is based on the number of ingredients in the submitted formulation.
Up to 25 ingredients — $5026–50 ingredients — $7551+ ingredients — $100
What’s included +
  • Review of one submitted cosmetic ingredient list/formulation.
  • A structured three-tier database search, including the Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist, Natural Health Products Ingredients Database, and applicable prescription drug databases, as relevant. Each ingredient is also checked for searchability in Health Canada’s Cosmetic Notification Form ingredient search database.
  • Identification of concentration-, final product pH-, product-type-, area-of-use-, fragrance-composition-, intended-use-, ingredient-function-, and other condition-dependent considerations or information requiring confirmation, where applicable.
  • Identification of ingredient-related warning or caution considerations where supported.
  • Identification of an obvious potential regulatory pathway concern where the ingredient/product context warrants separate review.
  • Recommended ingredient-related actions.
  • Identification of relevant supporting documentation that should be retained.
  • Review of reasonable follow-up information specifically requested by C&R to resolve findings from the original assessment.
Not included +
  • Toxicological or formal cosmetic safety assessment.
  • Formulation development or reformulation.
  • Claims review or claims substantiation.
  • Full product classification/pathway assessment.
  • Label or artwork review.

  • Advance Notice of Importation assistance.
  • Extensive supplier or manufacturer correspondence.
  • Review of a new or materially reformulated ingredient list.

Reasonable follow-up information requested by C&R to resolve findings from the original assessment is included. A new or materially changed formulation is considered a new review.

02
STANDARD REVIEW

Canadian Cosmetic Claims Review

From $50 / product

A focused review of submitted consumer-facing claims for one cosmetic product and the overall impression they create.

What’s included +
  • Review of submitted claims for one cosmetic product.
  • Review may include claims appearing on submitted product label/artwork, product webpage, marketing copy, marketplace content, or other specifically submitted consumer-facing material.
  • Identification of cosmetic-supportive claims.
  • Identification of claims that may create therapeutic, physiological, disease-related, classification, or other regulatory positioning concerns.
  • Consideration of the overall/net impression created by the submitted claims.
  • Identification of wording requiring clarification or reconsideration.
  • Identification of claims for which supporting evidence or substantiation should be retained.
  • Regulatory reasoning explaining material findings.
  • Reasonable review of revised wording specifically resulting from the original assessment.
Not included +
  • Creation of a complete marketing campaign or claims strategy.
  • Copywriting or rewriting an entire website.
  • Scientific substantiation studies.
  • Extensive literature reviews.
  • Legal advertising review.
  • Competitor advertising analysis.

  • Full product classification where a significant borderline pathway issue requires separate analysis.
  • Ingredient review.
  • Label/artwork compliance review.
  • Translation services.
  • Review of materially new claims introduced after the original assessment.

The standard fixed-fee Claims Review is intended for a reasonable volume of claims for one product. Large websites, extensive marketplace content, large claim inventories, or multi-channel marketing reviews may require a separate quote or hourly regulatory support.

03
STANDARD REVIEW

Canadian Cosmetic Label Review

From $50 / product

A focused review of applicable Canadian cosmetic label elements for one product—not a comprehensive content, claims, or formulation assessment.

The standard review applies to one product and one submitted label version, provided either as text-based label copy or completed artwork.
What’s included +
  • A focused label-element review of one submitted text-based label copy or completed artwork/label version for one cosmetic product; it is not a comprehensive content, claims, or formulation assessment.
  • Review of applicable core Canadian cosmetic label elements, as relevant.
  • English/French presentation.
  • Identification of missing, unclear, or potentially non-compliant label elements.
  • Identification of information requiring confirmation before the review can be completed.
  • Consideration of ingredient-triggered label requirements where the necessary ingredient information has been supplied or established as part of the engagement.
  • Recommended corrections or actions.
  • Identification of supporting documentation that should be retained where relevant.
  • One reasonable review of corrections made directly in response to the assessment.
Not included +
  • Professional translation services.
  • Graphic design or artwork editing.
  • Rebuilding or formatting client artwork.
  • Separate ingredient assessment where a formulation review is required.
  • Comprehensive claims assessment or claims substantiation.
  • Cosmetic Notification Form preparation or submission.
  • Advance Notice of Importation assistance.
  • Regulatory approval or guarantee of acceptance by Health Canada.
  • Unlimited artwork revisions.
  • Review of a substantially redesigned label as though it were the original submission.

One reasonable correction review means confirming corrections made directly in response to the original assessment. Substantial redesigns, new claims, formulation changes, or additional artwork versions may require a new review or additional regulatory support.

ADDITIONAL REGULATORY SUPPORT

Support beyond the
fixed-fee review.

$50 / hour

Additional regulatory support is available when a client’s needs extend beyond the defined fixed-fee review. Any hourly work will be discussed and agreed with the client before proceeding.

GENERAL SCOPE PRINCIPLES

Clear expectations
from the outset.

Fixed-fee pricing generally applies to one product/SKU, one submitted formulation or version unless otherwise stated, and the defined scope of the selected regulatory review.

Reasonable follow-up information requested by C&R to resolve findings identified during the original review is included.

A new formulation, materially revised formulation, substantially redesigned artwork, materially new claims, additional products/SKUs, extended implementation work, or other work outside the defined review scope may require a new fixed-fee review or additional regulatory support.
