Where Vision Meets Craftsmanship
At Tonkina, our mission is simple yet powerful: replace harmful, chemical-laden products with safe, natural skincare that respects both people and the planet. To make this vision a reality, we partner with Song An Natural Cosmetics — known in Vietnam as Co Mem — a pioneer in the country’s clean beauty movement.
The name “Song An” carries a gentle meaning in Vietnamese: it can be understood as “nurturing peace” or “bringing peace.” Combined with the meaning of “An” — peace, safety, and harmony — it evokes the idea of a “life of serenity and well-being.” This spirit of care and protection is at the heart of everything they create.
A Facility Built for Excellence
Song An’s GMP-certified facility spans over 9,000 square meters in the lush, green landscape of Thach That District, Hanoi — a region with a long heritage of craftsmanship. This space is more than a factory; it’s where modern technology, precise quality standards, and a respect for nature come together to create skincare you can trust.
Shared Philosophy, Shared Standards
Founded by Mr. Nam, a Master of Pharmacy specializing in Formulation, Song An was built on the belief that science can elevate the power of nature. Like Tonkina, they avoid harsh chemicals, prioritize plant-based ingredients, and work to protect the environment.
How Quality Is Protected
Before any Tonkina product reaches you, it passes through Song An’s four-stage quality process:
- Raw Material Selection: We rigorously source each ingredient to ensure it aligns with our commitment to plant-based formulations.
- Intermediate Testing: Throughout production, regular checks ensure products meet our exacting standards.
- Final Production Checks: Before packaging, every batch is examined to meet all quality and safety benchmarks.
- Post-Manufacture Monitoring: Even after products leave our facility, we continue to monitor their performance and gather customer feedback for ongoing quality assurance.
These processes take place in our GLP-certified laboratory, compliant with ISO 17025 standards. This ensures utmost accuracy, transparency, and objectivity in our testing, setting a new standard for excellence in the beauty industry.
The People Behind the Process
At the heart of Song An’s work is a team of skilled scientists and formulators who share Tonkina’s vision: blending Vietnam’s rare botanicals with proven science to create skincare that is safe, effective, and kind to the environment. Their expertise bridges traditional plant wisdom with cutting-edge research, so every formula is both time-honored and forward-thinking.
A Partnership for a Global Mission
Tonkina and Song An are united by a shared goal — to bring Vietnam’s botanical treasures to the world in a way that supports skin health, respects nature, and inspires conscious beauty choices. Together, we create more than skincare; we create a movement towards cleaner, safer, and more sustainable beauty.
