To carry out production, Khanh buys machinery, raw materials, tools, bottles... and produces them at home and then sells them nationwide through e-commerce platforms Shopee and TikTok to make a profit.
In total, Nguyen Van Khanh has successfully sold over 100,000 orders to customers in provinces and cities across the country, with revenue of over 6 billion VND.
Searching Nguyen Van Khanh's production facility, the authorities seized 13 different types of cosmetics with nearly 2,500 finished products such as: makeup remover, skin cream, acne treatment serum, underarm odor treatment serum and millions of packaging, anti-counterfeit stamps, labels of all kinds and raw materials.
