What should beauty brands look for in a fulfillment provider?

Cosmetics and beauty brands should look for a fulfillment provider with deep industry and omnichannel experience, kitting, packaging, and customization capabilities, robust inventory management, seamless technology integrations, scalable Health Canada and GMP-compliant warehousing, a coast-to-coast network, and reliable last-mile delivery.

What is lot tracking, and why is it important for beauty and cosmetics?

Lot tracking is a system implemented to trace ingredients and products back to a manufacturer. It is a vital component of the health and wellness supply chain in case there is a need to remove expired ingredients or if there is a product recall. Metro Supply Chain’s warehouse management system technology meets Health Canada requirements, including recall reporting and retention sampling. For the beauty and cosmetics industry, lot tracking is essential for ensuring product safety, maintaining quality, and complying with stringent government regulations. Tracking lots and expiration dates means we deliver high-quality goods to consumers with every order.

What Canadian regulations apply to cosmetics fulfillment?

The cosmetics industry is subject to stringent regulations to ensure the safety and quality of products. In Canada, Health Canada oversees the regulatory compliance of cosmetic manufacturing, distribution, and labelling. The key regulations governing cosmetics manufacturing in Canada include the Food and Drugs Act and the Cosmetic Regulations.

These regulations define what products are classified as cosmetics, establish guidelines for product labelling and storage, and prohibit the use of certain ingredients. To comply with these regulations, cosmetic brands must maintain strict quality control measures throughout their fulfillment processes.

Many vitamin and supplement products, such as soft gels, gummies and oils, require specific temperature and humidity conditions for safe storage. Metro Supply Chain has an extensive supply chain network that includes Health-Canada Licensed and GMP-compliant facilities with lot tracking, quality assurance and specialized handling procedures to maintain the safety and efficacy of products.
