Compliance in cosmetics isn’t just about following the rules—it’s about protecting your brand and staying ahead in a competitive market. The numbers speak for themselves: cutting corners on quality and regulations can cost more than just money.
$10.7 Billion
The 🇨🇦 Canadian cosmetics market is worth almost $11 billion, offering immense growth potential—but also fierce competition. Compliance builds trust and keeps you in the game. Ignore it, and your brand risks recalls, fines, and being overshadowed by more prepared competitors.
20%
Globally, 20% of cosmetic products fail compliance checks. For Canadian brands, this can mean lost market access and damaged reputations. Don’t let weak quality systems hold you back—compliance is key to unlocking growth and staying competitive.
$50,000
Product recalls cost brands an average of $50,000, not to mention lost trust and reputation. Compliance isn’t optional—it’s your safeguard against costly mistakes that could derail your growth.
