What if motherhood sparked Malaysia’s next clean beauty breakthrough?
For one Penang-born scientist, it turned sleepless nights, loss, and lockdowns into a
Halal-GMP certified success story in natural personal care manufacturing.
Meet Chem Meraki Natura, a rising force in Malaysia’s OEM/ODM natural cosmetics industry, where real science meets real herbs.No hype. Just results.
Science First. Nature Always.
Before the brand, there was the lab.
The founder holds a Chemical Engineering degree from Universiti Malaysia Sabah, followed by a PhD and a Postdoctoral fellowship from Universiti Sains Malaysia all before most people find their first job.
She lectured. She researched. She lived the academic dream.
Then life hit hard.
Her father passed away during her PhD.
A newborn baby.
COVID shutdowns. Job uncertainty.
Instead of breaking, she rebuilt with purpose.
From Village Roots to Breakthrough Results
Raised in a humble village home, she learned business basics from her father, a Tamil
school clerk, and herbal healing from her mother. During COVID downtime, she
blended that wisdom with nanoparticle and herbal research formulating products for her
own family.
The results?
Fast. Visible. Gentle.
She quietly introduced them via digital platforms. Over 20 trial products later, feedback poured in especially from parents of babies with sensitive skin.
That’s when Chem Meraki Natura was born.
Products That Changed the Game
Two formulations stood out and built instant trust:
- Calendula-based baby lotion helped soothe atopic dermatitis (eczema) and
ultra-sensitive skin
- Mineral Sunscreen A next-generation herbal-mineral sunscreen engineered for superior UV protection, heat stability, and sensory excellence.
No shortcuts. No harsh heat.
Only temperature-controlled herbal extraction that preserves nutrients most methods
destroy.
Award-Winning Innovation
Chem Meraki Natura’s expertise has also been recognized internationally. The company won two “GOLD” awards in global innovation competitions for developing a high-performance herbal-mineral sunscreen. By integrating eco-conscious ingredients, encapsulated UV filters, and multi-phase processing, the formulation delivers superior skin protection, thermal stability, and a luxurious sensory experience even in tropical climates.

The Real Secret? Purpose.
Her husband believed when others doubted.
Her children became the reason she never quit.
