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.
Paste your ingredient list (INCI names, one per line or comma-separated). We'll instantly tell you how many of your ingredients appear on Health Canada's Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist. Nothing is uploaded or stored — this runs entirely in your browser.
Private by design: your list never leaves this page — it is processed in your browser and never sent to us. This is a name-matching pre-screen only, not a compliance assessment (terms).
Screening & filing from $295 per product. Full Compliance and Market Entry are scoped to your product line and quoted after a free assessment — no surprises, one fixed number before any work starts. Shade/scent variants of the same base formula count as one notification.
Every engagement starts with a free assessment and a written fixed quote. Health Canada itself charges no fee for CNF submissions — you pay only for professional screening, preparation and filing.
Tell us about your product. We'll reply within one business day with a fixed quote and a secure way to send your formulation. Prefer to talk? WhatsApp us or call +1-519-498-5957.
Your information is confidential and used only to prepare your assessment. We never share formulations — a mutual NDA is available on request before you send anything. See our Privacy Policy.
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.
