Our Story

HOW IT BEGIN

It all started in 2008 when Dr Siti Hamidah returned from the UK after completing her PhD in Micellar nanotechnology. Upon returning, she started her research on extracting natural colorants from local plants.

The research made her discover that color pigment extracted from Roselle flowers is the most stable and hence suitable for cosmetic uses. At that point of time, Dr Siti herself was experiencing the issue of very dry and darkened lips.

Dr Siti then formulated an all natural plant based lip moisturizer from the Roselle extracts.The formula was impressive as her lip’s dryness disappeared within 24 hours and her lip tone gradually became healthier and more rosy after using the lip moisturizer daily. She then developed a proper prototype and started testing the market for demands. It seems many were interested with the all natural lip moisturizer back then.

the journey

Along the way, Dr Siti has also won the Superb Teraju grant from the government amounting rm500k and this has enabled her to start developing more formulas and products under Naturel Kiss. To date, Naturel Kiss has expanded its range of products to natural face and bath soaps, all natural hand lotions with Roselle colorants, lip scrubs, non toxic lipsticks, blusher, two way cake foundation, make up remover, and the latest being the Micellar Series which is a range that is implementing the Micellar green nanotechnology. There are two products under the Micellar Series range , the Micellar Cleanser and the Micellar Energy Water Face Mist . Both formulas are 98-99% all natural . The Micellar research by Dr Siti and team has also bagged the Semi Grand Award recently at the International Conference and Exposition on Inventions by Institutions of Higher Learning (PECIPTA 2017). This is not a surprise as Dr Siti is considered an expert in Micellar nanotechnology in Malaysia as she has been studying and doing research on Micellar nanotechnology for more than 15 years since her Masters courses in 2001.
