On the evening of May 30, information from the Drug Administration of Vietnam said that the unit had just sent an official dispatch to the Department of Health of provinces and cities across the country, social networking platforms Facebook, Zalo, TikTok, Zalo, Youtube and e-commerce platforms about strengthening the management of homemade cosmetics and home-made cosmetics.
According to the Drug Administration of Vietnam, recently, the production, trading and advertising of homemade cosmetics and home-made cosmetics has been common on social networking platforms and e-commerce platforms. Many products have not been announced, have unknown origins, do not meet quality and safety requirements as prescribed by law, and pose a potential risk to consumers' health.
To strengthen state management in the field of cosmetics, ensuring the rights and health of the community, the Drug Administration of Vietnam requests the Department of Health of provinces and centrally-run cities to strengthen inspection and examination of production, trading and advertising of cosmetics in the area, paying special attention to homemade cosmetics and home-made cosmetics sold via social networks.
Coordinate with relevant authorities such as Market Management, Police, Cultural Information Inspectorate, Steering Committee 389 in the area to strictly handle cases of violations of regulations on production and circulation of cosmetics when not being granted a certificate of eligibility for cosmetic production, trading cosmetics without a product declaration receipt number, not ensuring cosmetic quality, or advertising falsely in violation of regulations, exaggerating features and uses...
Localities should strengthen propaganda and legal guidance to individuals and organizations with production activities, in order to raise awareness and responsibility for compliance with legal regulations; not produce and trade in homemade cosmetics, in order to raise awareness, responsibility, and compliance with legal regulations; only use cosmetics with clear origins, which have been granted product declaration receipt numbers according to regulations.
The Drug Administration of Vietnam recommends that social networking platforms (Facebook, Zalo, TikTok, Zalo, Youtube, ...) and e-commerce platforms proactively review and remove advertising content for homemade cosmetics and home-made cosmetics that show signs of violating the law, do not have a product declaration receipt number, and do not comply with regulations of the Ministry of Health and Government decrees on conditions for cosmetics production.
Social media platforms have increased censorship and control of cosmetic advertising content on personal pages, groups, fanpages, video channels, etc., ensuring that advertised products have clear information about their origin, have been granted a product declaration receipt number, and that the manufacturing facility has been granted a certificate of eligibility to produce cosmetics in accordance with the law.
Coordinate with authorities to provide information about violating accounts and channels when requested to serve inspection, examination and handling of violations. Develop a mechanism to warn and handle accounts that continuously post illegal cosmetic advertising content.
