Another successful Conference
Thank you to all CCTFA members who attended our 2016 annual conference held at Deerhurst on September 14 - 16!
CCTFA was pleased to create a forum for members to learn more about the
issues and developments of critical importance to the cosmetic and personal care industry, and to network with peers, relax, and have some fun.
This year's annual conference, themed "Cosmetic Connections", featured a wide
array of incredible speakers that were informative, entertaining, and clearly experts in their fields. They helped us understand the national and international issues facing our industry, regulatory and political developments, and trade priorities - and how to navigate through. They also shared their insights on market trends, today's consumer, social media, and e-commerce - and how to leverage in our business.
It is our hope that after the conference our members are in a better position to get ahead of the ongoing challenges they face in the marketplace and leverage new insights and tools to build their businesses.

Important Webinar: Keeping Counterfeits out of Canada
Date: Wednesday, October 5, 2016
Time: 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm EST
Location: "Your office"
Counterfeit products have posed health and safety risks to consumers and undermine consumer confidence in your brand.
There is a new Border Enforcement Regime in Canada that can be used to protect your brand by keeping counterfeit products out of Canada.
This webinar will explain the new Border Enforcement Regime and how you can take advantage of it to help stop the importation and sale in Canada of counterfeit products purporting to be yours.
The webinar will be hosted by Lorne M. Lipkus and Georgina Starkman Danzig, partners at the law firm of Kestenberg Siegal Lipkus, LLP. They act for more than 75 different brands providing strategic and comprehensive anti-counterfeiting protection and enforcement advice.

Health Canada's Consultation on the Regulation of Self-Care Products
|
Health Canada has recently released the long-awaited Consultation Paper on the Regulation of Self-Care Products (previously called the Consumer Health Products (CHP) Framework). The Paper is available
here and a
summary has also been posted.
This Paper presents a three-class structure to the regulation of self-care products and takes into account everything from cosmetics to over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and natural health products. It reflects the input that CCTFA provided on the original framework to create a single regulatory structure, regardless of product classification, that is commensurate with risk and administered under one regulatory framework. Moreover, it takes into account the low-risk nature of these types of products in a manner that differentiates them from prescription pharmaceuticals. The current system classifies many low-risk products as "drugs" (DINs) leading to the application of regulations intended for higher-risk drugs and in some cases prescription pharmaceuticals. CCTFA has been advocating for this change for over a decade!
CCTFA conducted a member briefing on September 22 to review and discuss the Paper and is actively working with our technical committees to submit comments by the consultation deadline of October 24th. We would encourage all interested member companies to review this paper and give us your feedback or insights as we work to develop our comments on behalf of our industry.
We will also be actively engaging with Government and key stakeholders, including other affected Industry Associations (CHP Canada, FCPC, CHFA, HMCC), to build support for this long-awaited and necessary reform. We will keep members updated as things progress.

Say the word 'counterfeit' and most consumers think of purses and DVDs. Many consumers are surprised to learn that perfumes are being counterfeited and even more are surprised when told that they may own counterfeit perfume. In 2014, CBS reported that as many as 1 in 10 bottles of perfume sold in the US are counterfeit.
In addition to the economic impact of this crime, reports confirm that consumers could also be risking their health, because the counterfeit fragrances have been reported to include urine, bacteria, antifreeze and poorly based chemicals. Experts speculate that urine is used as a ph balance stabilizer and for its color.

How do you see the performance of beauty at present?
Barclays analyst Lauren Lieberman:
The resilience of the category globally is fascinating, even though there has been a
slowdown in skincare, particularly triggered by slower trends in Asia. [What] social media has meant for make-up is remarkable, [as is] what it is starting to mean for skincare; for example, the notion of instant benefits, masks and contouring creams. Even if anti-aging is taking a bit of a break, I think that will come back. I'm intrigued by how fragrance may develop.
