Body lotion and body wash OEM for Vietnam: how are fragrance allergens and labeling handled?
Conclusion: Vietnam does not exempt fragrance allergen labeling; all 26 designated allergens must be listed separately under INCI. Labels must be in Vietnamese, showing net content, batch, and expiry. A Vietnam-based entity is required to manage the pre-market product notification, following the latest legal text.
1Allergen Declaration
Products with fragrance must declare specific allergens. Resinuous (body lotion) and rinse-off (body wash) thresholds vary. Suppliers must provide allergen reports and IFRA compliance data.
2Vietnamese Labeling
Labels must be in Vietnamese, detailing ingredients, net content, batch, and expiry. Foreign OEMs require a Vietnamese importer or agent for legal notification.
3Notification & Compliance
Pre-market notification (công bố sản phẩm mỹ phẩm) is required. The responsible party must be a Vietnam-established entity to obtain a valid receipt number.
