Sounds familiar?

01
You have Canadian buyers but no way to receive stock in Canada.
02
Your current warehouse can't accept imported cosmetics.
03
A Canadian retailer wants a local partner on the paperwork.
04
You don't know what Canada needs before your first shipment.

If you’re looking for a cosmetics distributor in Canada, the first question is who can legally receive your stock. As beauty product distributors with a certified warehouse, we receive your imported products and move them to the retailers, marketplaces and customers you sell to.

Exporting cosmetics to Canada takes more than a shipping label. The facility that receives them needs the right credentials, the products have to meet Canadian ingredient and labelling rules, and someone has to be on file with Health Canada. Brands without a Canadian partner often get stuck at the first shipment.

We’re that partner. You send the stock, we receive and store it, and we distribute it to the channels you need. We act as your importer of record.

A good fit if

✓ International brands entering Canada
✓ Brands with Canadian retail or marketplace orders lined up
✓ Founders who want one Canadian partner for receiving and distribution

Not the right fit if

✕ Brands already set up with a Canadian importer and warehouse
✕ Products outside cosmetics and natural health products
✕ Brands looking for sales reps to find new accounts

Questions, answered.

What do I need to sell cosmetics in Canada?

At minimum: ingredients that comply with Health Canada's Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist, a bilingual English and French label with an INCI ingredient list, a Cosmetic Notification Form filed within 10 days of first sale, and a way to get stock into the country and out to your channels.

Do my products need a French label in Canada?

Yes. Cosmetics sold in Canada need the required label information in both English and French. Packaging Review can check your artwork before you ship.

Who files the Cosmetic Notification Form?

The manufacturer or importer of the cosmetic has to notify Health Canada within 10 days of first sale. Regulatory & Compliance can prepare and file it for you.

Which certifications does your warehouse hold?

Our warehouse is set up for cosmetics and holds the credentials for natural health products (NHPs), so we can receive and distribute both.

Do you act as importer of record?

Yes. We act as importer of record for the products we bring into Canada for you.

Which channels can you distribute to?

Retailers and marketplaces.
