Why is there a two-year implementation period?
While many businesses are already listing the ingredients on the label using the INCI system, some have not yet started. Health Canada realises that it is impossible for businesses to change their labels overnight. In order to facilitate the change, businesses will have two years to design new labels and use up existing stock. However, Health Canada highly recommends that businesses start making changes immediately and do not wait until the end of the two-year period.
