Everything You Need to Know About Cosmetic Advertising in Vietnam (2025 Guide)

Are you planning to promote your cosmetic brand in Vietnam? Great! But before launching that stunning campaign, there’s something important you need to know: cosmetic advertising in Vietnam is strictly regulated. From online banners to TV commercials, every beauty product advertisement must be approved by the authorities.

In this article, we’ll guide you through the legal requirements, approval process, and how your business can launch cosmetic ads the right way – while also helping your brand shine brighter!

1. What is Cosmetic Advertising?

Cosmetic advertising refers to any activity that introduces, promotes, or encourages the use of cosmetic products. Whether it’s a video ad, an Instagram post, or a printed leaflet, these materials are considered advertising and must comply with Vietnam’s legal requirements.

Since cosmetics are applied directly to the skin, they can affect the user’s health. That’s why obtaining an official Advertising Content Approval Certificate is not just a formality – it’s a legal obligation and a way to protect both businesses and consumers.

2. Legal Requirements for Advertising Cosmetics

You can advertise cosmetics via the following channels (once approved):

  • TV, radio, online platforms (websites, social media)

  • Print media: newspapers, magazines, brochures

  • Outdoor ads: posters, banners, billboards

  • Events, product launch seminars, or workshops

But before going live, your business must submit the ad content to the Department of Health for verification and get the green light.
