CNF FastFile screens your full formula against Health Canada's Ingredient Hotlist, checks your product name and claims, and files your Cosmetic Notification Form — with a signed compliance report and bilingual label mock-up included.
Built on a digital screening system developed from Health Canada's own notification guide and the 2025 Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist.
Complete the short form below and email your INCI ingredient list with percentages. NDA available on request.
Every ingredient is checked against 460+ prohibited and 60+ restricted Hotlist entries — limits, product-type conditions and mandatory warnings. Your product name and claims are screened too.
Anything prohibited, over-limit or mis-claimed? We tell you exactly what to change before anything is filed.
We submit your CNF to Health Canada and deliver your case numbers, record file, compliance report and bilingual label mock-up.
Per product, CAD. Shade/scent variants of the same base formula count as one notification. Volume discounts from 5+ products.
Add-ons: amendment/discontinuation $150 · rush 24-h screening +50% · ongoing portfolio monitoring from $95/month. Health Canada itself charges no fee for CNF submissions.

Your information is confidential and used only to prepare your assessment. We never share formulations.
Screening results within 48 hours of receiving your complete formulation; most notifications are filed the same week. The law requires notification within 10 days of first sale in Canada — we track the deadline for you.
No — it's a mandatory notification, not a licence. But Health Canada can demand label changes, safety evidence or a stop-sale if your formula or claims are non-compliant. That's why we screen everything before filing.
If it's restricted, we verify your concentration against the limit and put the required bilingual warnings on your label. If it's prohibited, we tell you within 48 hours — before you've printed packaging or shipped stock — and guide the reformulation.
Yes. Since March 2025 every CNF needs a Canadian address for the manufacturer or importer — our Market Entry package structures this correctly with your Canadian importer or responsible person.
CNF FastFile is the productized cosmetics service of Arora 297 Consultancy, a Canadian regulatory affairs firm covering cosmetics, natural health products, OTC drugs, food and medical devices with Health Canada and the U.S. FDA.
From April 12, 2026, fragrance allergens above threshold must be individually named on labels and notifications. Every FastFile screening already checks for them, so your labels won't need reprinting.
