Ministry of Health requests to strengthen cosmetic management of sunscreen products

According to the latest dispatch, the Drug Administration of Vietnam ( Ministry of Health ) requested the health departments of provinces and cities to review the cosmetic product declaration forms with declared sunscreen features and uses that have been received, ensuring compliance with current regulations on cosmetic management; and revoke the received declaration forms that do not meet the regulations.

On the other hand, direct functional units to check the labeling and advertising of sunscreen cosmetic products in the area; direct testing centers to increase sampling of sunscreen cosmetics to test and determine the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) index.

For manufacturing and trading establishments responsible for bringing cosmetic products to the market, the Drug Administration also requires compliance with regulations on cosmetic management, reviewing product information files (Product Information File - PIF), methods and results of determining the product's SPF index, ensuring completeness, accuracy, and readiness to provide when authorities request quality inspection.

The units shall review the content of the cosmetic product declaration form stating the features and uses of sunscreen, ensuring compliance with current regulations; review the product label stating the features and uses of sunscreen, SPF index, ensuring compliance with labeling regulations, accurate content, consistency with the declaration form and compliance with the ASEAN Guidelines on labeling of sunscreen cosmetic products.
