Brand Registration for Private Label Cosmetics in Thailand
Why brand registration matters
When you create a private label cosmetic brand in Thailand, your brand name and logo should be properly registered as a trademark with the Department of Intellectual Property (DIP).
This helps protect your brand and avoid conflicts with existing trademarks in the market
Trademark class for cosmetics
For cosmetic, spa and personal care products, your trademark should be registered in Class 3, which covers cosmetics, perfumery, essential oils, soaps and related products.
If your brand is not registered in the correct class, it may not fully protect your products in the cosmetic category.
What Alodia requires from private label customers
To produce private label products under your brand, we require that:
- Your brand is already registered with the Department of Intellectual Property (DIP), Thailand.
- You can provide a copy of your official Trademark Registration Certificate (digital certificates with QR code are also accepted, as issued by the DIP).
- The registration clearly covers cosmetic products in Class 3.
Alodia does not apply for or register trademarks on behalf of customers.
If you need to register a brand, you should work with a trademark consultant or lawyer who can guide you through the process.
Basic steps to register a brand (trademark) in Thailand
Below is a simple overview of the usual process for registering a trademark in Thailand. This is for general information only and is not legal advice.
- Check if the name is available
Search the DIP trademark database (or ask a consultant) to see if your brand name or logo is already registered by someone else. - Decide what you want to protect
Define the exact brand elements (word mark, logo, or both) and list of products you want to cover under Class 3 (for example: skincare, body oils, scrubs, facial products). - File the application with the DIP
Submit a trademark application to the Department of Intellectual Property with applicant details, image or spelling of the mark, and the list of goods under Class 3, either directly or via an IP agent. - Examination by DIP
The DIP reviews the application to check formalities and possible conflicts with existing trademarks; they may ask for clarification or amendments if needed. - Publication and opposition period
If the application passes examination, it is published in the Trademark Gazette for a set period to allow any objections. - Registration and certificate
If there is no successful opposition and the mark is accepted, the DIP registers the trademark and issues a registration certificate, usually valid for 10 years and renewable.
Before starting a private label project with us
Before we start developing or producing private label cosmetic products under your brand in Thailand, please:
- Confirm that your trademark is registered in Thailand in Class 3.
- Prepare a clear copy of your Trademark Registration Certificate (PDF or print).
- If your brand is not yet registered, contact a trademark consultant or lawyer to begin the registration process as early as possible.
This helps protect your business, ensures smoother cooperation and reduces the risk of trademark problems in the future.
No. Alodia does not register trademarks on behalf of customers. You will need to contact a trademark consultant, IP agent, or lawyer to handle the application and communication with the DIP.
We strongly recommend that you at least start the trademark application process before serious product development, but for full private label production and labelling we require a granted registration and certificate.
