Our Vocation
The meaning behind the name. The purpose within the science.

Đồ · Son
Đồ (verb) — to trace, to rewrite old strokes. The act of drawing over what time has faded, restoring the lines that once defined a face, a story, a tradition.
Son (adj) — youthful. Not the youth of age, but the youth of radiance. The luminosity that exists beneath every layer of time.
Together, DOSON means to retrace youth — to rediscover the glow that was always there, waiting beneath the surface.
For millennia, Vietnamese grandmothers have known what laboratories are only now confirming: that the plants of this land hold extraordinary power to restore, protect, and renew human skin.
DOSON exists to honour that knowledge — not by preserving it in a museum, but by advancing it through modern biomedical science. Every formulation is a conversation between ancestral wisdom and molecular precision.
We do not simply make skincare. We carry forward a living legacy.
On one side: generations of Vietnamese herbalists who understood that a leaf pressed against a wound could heal, that lotus root could restore radiance, that the garden held the answer before the pharmacy ever existed.
On the other: thousands of hours in biomedical laboratories, mapping the molecular structures that make these botanicals work, isolating what nature perfected over centuries, and engineering it for modern skin.
DOSON lives in the tension between these two worlds — ancient intuition and scientific rigour — because neither alone is sufficient. Together, they are extraordinary.
Gentle enough for the most sensitive skin. Powerful enough to rival the harshest actives. Born from Vietnamese pink lotus, validated by biomedical science, and formulated for skin that deserves both efficacy and kindness.
This is the vocation we chose. This is the standard we hold.
