How to check a cosmetic notification in Malaysia

By Dr. M Hair Care · 1 October 2026 · 3 min read

Use the exact product name and the notification number together.

In Malaysia, a cosmetic is notified before it is sold. Notification is a legal step for the company responsible. It is not an endorsement of marketing claims. Check the live record rather than a badge or an old screenshot.

Dr. M Hokkaido Kelp Hair & Scalp Shampoo, notification NOT220504152K. Open the shampoo record.

Dr. M Hydrolyzed Protein Hair Tonic, notification NOT220105815K. Open the tonic record. A match for one product does not identify the other.

You can also start from the NPRA website. The control guidelines are in this NPRA PDF. If a record page does not load, go back through the official site or ask the seller for the exact name and number. Read the bottle for purpose, directions, ingredients and precautions as well. Both products are RM139 individually, with mix-and-match bundle prices.
