According to the Ministry of Health , recently, through post-inspection work and feedback from consumers and the media, it has been shown that the business of cosmetic products that are hand-carried, counterfeit, of unknown origin, of poor quality, and commercial fraud in the cosmetics sector is becoming increasingly complicated.

This is an act that affects people's health, consumer rights and the reputation of the domestic cosmetics industry.

The Ministry of Health requested the People's Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities to direct relevant agencies and units to strengthen inspection and examination of cosmetics production and trading activities.

Focusing on products of unknown origin, not declared according to regulations; cosmetics with false advertising, improper labeling; online business activities, especially on social networking platforms and e-commerce platforms.

Regularly conduct post-inspection of cosmetic products in circulation on the market, through sampling and testing, and strictly handle violations.

Recall and destroy all types of cosmetics suspected of being fake, cosmetics of unknown origin, cosmetics of poor quality, and unsafe for consumers.

The Ministry also requested the People's Committees of provinces and cities to direct the health sector to closely coordinate with functional agencies (police, market management, customs, tax, local Steering Committee 389...) to promptly detect and prevent acts of production, storage, and trade of fake and substandard cosmetics.

Strictly handle organizations and individuals who violate the law.

At the same time, promote communication and dissemination of laws on cosmetics management to the community, businesses and consumers, in order to raise awareness, vigilance and denounce violations.

Review regulations to enhance the responsibility and management efficiency of relevant agencies and local authorities in the production and trading of cosmetics.

In case of any difficulties or problems, please promptly report to the authorities for timely research and amendment.
