Cosmetic Regulations

Version of section 21.5 from 2024-10-09 to 2024-10-30:

  •  (1) Despite subsection 21.2(1), in the case of a cosmetic whose immediate container or outside package is too small for the label to comply with paragraph 18(b), the list of ingredients may appear

    • (a) on a tag, tape or card affixed to the container or package; or

    • (b) on a website, provided that the outer label contains a statement specifying that the list of ingredients appears on that website and includes the location of the website.

  • (2) Despite subsection 21.2(1), in the case of a cosmetic in an ornamental container that has no outside package, the list of ingredients may appear on a tag, tape or card affixed to the container.

  • (3) Despite subsection 21.2(1), in the case of a cosmetic that has no outside package and whose size, shape or texture, or that of its immediate container, makes it impractical for a tag, tape or card to be affixed to the container, the list of ingredients may instead appear in a leaflet that must accompany the cosmetic at the point of sale.
