According to co-founder and vice director of Sao Thai Duong Nguyen Thi Huong Lien, the company took its products to an international cosmetic exhibition for the first time in 2015. At the expo, visitors paid much attention to shampoo products. There were customers coming back to buy shampoo products three times during the three days of the expo.
Sao Thai Duong has distributed 176 products at pharmacies and hospitals in 63 provinces and cities of Vietnam. Some products are familiar in Vietnamese families as Thai Duong turmeric cream, Thai Duong shampoo and Rocket.
The company has invested in a project to develop clean herb medicine and supply for its production, including exploiting natural herb medicine, protecting the forest, maintaining gen resource, farming and processing herb medicine in southwestern provinces. |
Lien recalled a 20-year journey of branding Sao Thai Duong. On the beginning days, Sao Thai Duong hoped to introduce the Vietnamese traditional medicine to the world. In 2002, Lien attended a conference of the EU to support ASEAN in establishing its cosmetic association. She saw foreigners’ care about herbal medicine while the cosmetic industry in Vietnam was very simple. She joined a cosmetic training course sponsored by the EU and another funded by WB for ASEAN. After that Lien asked European experts to help the company in designing, constructing factory and researching, managing product’s quality following the EU standard.
Sao Thai Duong had the first factory in Vietnam meeting the ASEAN Cosmetic Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), Medicine GMP, ISO 1400, HALAL certificate, FDA certificate for exporting to the US market.
