How to Check the NPRA Notification for Dr. M Products

Quick answer: Match the exact product name with its notification number on the NPRA website: Dr. M Hokkaido Kelp Hair & Scalp Shampoo is NOT220504152K and Dr. M Hydrolyzed Protein Hair Tonic is NOT220105815K. A notification is a legal step for cosmetics, not an endorsement of marketing claims.
The two numbers
Shampoo: NOT220504152K. Tonic: NOT220105815K. A match for one product does not identify the other, so check each bottle separately. Dr. M’s notification guide links to the live records.
Read the bottle too
Check the purpose, directions, ingredients and precautions on the label, plus batch and expiry details. If a listing looks unusual, ask the official seller or a Folli-Doc branch before you pay.
Cosmetic vs medicine
A notified cosmetic is not a medicine. For medicines such as minoxidil, see our minoxidil guide and ask a pharmacist.
Frequently asked questions
What if the record page does not load?
Start again from the official NPRA website or ask the seller for the exact name and number.
Does notification prove the product works?
No. Notification is a legal requirement, not proof of results.
Where can I buy genuine Dr. M?
From official Dr. M channels and Folli-Doc branches.
