The Economic Police Department has identified Nguyen Van Khanh (born in 1996), living in Lai village, Dai Lam commune, Lang Giang district, Bac Giang province, as having been engaged in the production and trading of fake cosmetics at home.

Through the investigation, the Economic Police Department initially determined that: From around the end of 2024, Nguyen Van Khanh realized that customers needed to consume many types of cosmetic products, so he had the idea of producing fake cosmetics to sell for profit. Khanh went online to research some types of body deodorants, acne treatment serums, and skin whitening products that were being consumed in large quantities in the market, then ordered fake labels and packaging for these products.
To carry out the production, Khanh bought machinery, raw materials, tools, bottles, etc. and produced them at home to sell to the national market for profit.
It is worth noting that the main raw materials used to produce cosmetics are mainly solutions, mixed flavors of unknown origin, and alum powder. These raw materials were purchased by Khanh on the market.
The finished products are sold on e-commerce platforms Shopee and Tiktok, and when there are buyers, they are sent for sale via COD shipping service. Since the end of 2024, Khanh has successfully sold over 100,000 orders to customers in provinces and cities across the country, with a revenue of over 6 billion VND.

Currently, the Investigation Police Agency of Bac Giang Province is continuing to investigate, verify and expand the case to handle according to regulations.
The Economic Police Department recommends that consumers choose reputable and quality businesses; goods with clear origin and labels; and always be vigilant against products sold widely on cyberspace platforms.
