No. The Cosmetic Regulations apply only to cosmetic products sold in Canada. Therefore, this regulatory change has no effect on the requirements for drug products (including cosmetic-like drugs) or natural health products. Please see the Food and Drugs Act and its Regulations for more information. Contact the Therapeutic Products Directorate for information on the requirements for drug products or the Natural Health Products Directorate for more information concerning the sale of natural health products.
