New! Sunplay Skin Aqua Hyaluronic Acid Serum UV Sunscreen

In Malaysia’s hot and humid climate, sun exposure does more than cause UV damage — it also accelerates moisture loss, leaving skin dry, dull, and vulnerable. As consumers increasingly seek sun protection that also supports skin health, Sunplay, the trusted sunscreen brand under Rohto-Mentholatum Malaysia, introduces its latest innovation: Sunplay Skin Aqua Hyaluronic Acid Serum UV Sunscreen.

Designed for everyday use, the new sunscreen combines high UV protection with deep hydration, offering a lightweight serum-like texture that absorbs comfortably into the skin without leaving a white cast or sticky finish.

Formulated with three types of Hyaluronic Acid, the sunscreen helps replenish and retain moisture while protecting skin from harmful UV rays, making it ideal for Malaysia’s warm climate and modern skincare routines.

According to Lim Mei Yuen, General Manager of Rohto-Mentholatum Malaysia, the innovation reflects evolving consumer expectations in sun care. “Today’s consumers expect more from their sunscreen. It’s no longer just about protection — it must also care for the skin. With Sunplay Skin Aqua Hyaluronic Acid Serum UV Sunscreen, we wanted to create a formula that feels as light and hydrating as a skincare serum while delivering reliable daily UV defense. Our goal is to make sunscreen so comfortable that consumers will want to use it every day.”

Clinically Loved by Consumers

Consumer user testing* demonstrated strong positive feedback on the product experience:

• 100% agreed it feels lightweight and non-sticky
• 96% experienced long-lasting hydration and no white cast
• 94% said it leaves a healthy natural glow and works well under makeup without pilling
• 91% agreed it feels like a serum upon application

The All-New Lip Pure Tinted Lip Balm

Looking for a touch of colour that won’t irritate your lips or leave them feeling tight and uncomfortable?

If your lips often feel dry, irritated, or tight, yet you still desire a natural, healthy-looking touch of colour, finding the right lip product can be challenging. Many tinted lip products feel heavy, drying, or unsuitable for sensitive lips.

Building on the success of its original non-coloured Lip Pure range by Mentholatum Lipcare, Lip Pure now introduces Lip Pure Tinted Lip Balm, offering the same trusted care enhanced with a natural touch of colour. It is also known for its premium quality using 100% food-grade ingredients.

The all-new Lip Pure Tinted Lip Balm is specially created to meet the needs of consumers who seek gentle care with a soft, natural tint. Designed for everyday wear, it delivers lightweight hydration while enhancing the lips’ natural colour without the heaviness of traditional lipstick.

Available in two different shades, Red (Cherry Red) and Pink (Strawberry Pink), the Lip Pure Tinted Lip Balm provides a sheer, buildable finish that enhances your natural lip colour while deeply nourishing the lips. Its smooth, lightweight texture allows for comfortable application, making it ideal for everyday makeup looks.

Formulated with sensitive lips in mind, Lip Pure Tinted Lip Balm offers a safe, non-drying alternative that combines skincare-level nourishment with effortless beauty.

Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur Launched ‘What Women Want’ Movement with ‘Sip & Share’ Café Talk on Perimenopause

Message to all women: self-love isn’t selfish, it’s power. When you take care of you, you show the world exactly how you deserve to be treated.

Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur (PHKL), in collaboration with Parenthood Media’s community arm - KitaParents, successfully hosted the “Sip & Share” event, an intimate café-style talk series designed to foster open conversations about women’s health.

I was honoured to join the inaugural session, themed “Perimenopause Unfiltered,” took place on Tuesday, 17th March 2026, at Cyberjaya. This event marked the official debut of PHKL’s 2026 movement, “What Women Want (For Health),” which position PHKL as the quaternary hospital in Malaysia as a supportive space, where women can engage in safe, honest, and transparent conversations about their health journey.

Breaking the Silence on Perimenopause

For many Malaysian women, perimenopause has long been a misunderstood phase of life,
frequently dismissed as "just stress" or signs of ageing. Through this initiative, PHKL bridged
the gap between medical expertise and the everyday experiences of women in the community.

Introducing NOBO Soy: A New Chapter for Soy Milk

Soy milk has long been a part of everyday life in Malaysia. From kopitiams and street-side stalls, to breakfast tables in our own homes, soy milk is familiar, nostalgic and deeply woven into local food culture. Yet, the soy milk category hasbeen declining as young adults are not drinking as much soy milk.

Created by the team behind Malaysia’s much-loved oat milk brand OATSIDE, NOBO Soy is here to set a new standard for soy milk for the wellness-focused generation. NOBO Soy Milk has higher protein at 4.2g/100ml, which is almost double of typical packedsoy milk and ~40% more than dairy milk, achieved through double-extraction of non-GMO high protein Canadian soybeans. It also has less sugar (<5g/100ml) and a lower beanie taste achieved with flash-cooling technology, all while maintaining clean labels with no added oils, emulsifiers or gums.

Benedict Lim, CEO & Founder, OATSIDE said: “We spent a lot of time sourcing the right soybeans and eventually chose non-GMO, high-protein beans from Canada for their nutrition and flavour. From there, it was about developing a process that could pack more 
soybeans per pack to deliver a creamier texture and higher protein levels without adding ingredients like gums, emulsifiers, oils or protein powders.

Ultimately, our philosophy with NOBO is to be minimalist, and allow soy’s natural richness and nutrition to shine through without unnecessary additives."

Across Asia, we know that there is an increasing focus on nutrition and in particular, protein

consumption, with the wellness-generation keen on improving health and longevity.

Soybeans are a traditional staple but we tend to forget that it’s also a nutrient-dense, plant

-based superfood. They are rich in proteins with a complete essential amino acid profile, rich in fiber, antioxidants and omega 3-6-9. NOBO Soy is focused on taking a minimalist approach to letting an amazing ingredient shine through in the form of soy milk.
