Did you know that 13.4% of Malaysian children suffer from eczema before the age of six—yet most treatments still rely on steroids?
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is becoming more common—both in Malaysia and around the world. It causes itching, redness, inflammation, and often affects sleep and quality of life, especially in young children.
While steroid creams are often prescribed, many people are now concerned about their longterm side effects—like skin thinning, weakened immunity, and overdependence.
As awareness grows, more consumers are searching for natural, safer alternatives—especially those backed by science.
In fact, the global market for eczema solutions is expected to go beyond USD 15 billion by 2030, with strong growth in the area of plant-based and non-drug solutions.
ECZEFOLIA™: A Malaysian Discovery Offering Natural Eczema Relief
One promising answer comes from our own backyard. ECZEFOLIA™, made from a local rainforest plant known as Tenggek Burung (Melicope ptelefolia), is a breakthrough ingredient developed through over 20 years of Malaysian research.
Using modern technology, ECZEFOLIA™ concentrates two key plant compounds—tHGA and tHPA—that help calm irritated skin by targeting inflammation and allergic responses.
In both lab and human studies, ECZEFOLIA™ has been shown to:
• Reduce the severity of eczema symptoms
• Lessen itching and scratching
• Lower key inflammation markers in the body
And the best part? It performed just as well—or even better—than some steroid-based treatments, but without the risks or side effects.
ECZEFOLIA™ Wins Gold for Innovation
ECZEFOLIA™ recently won a Gold Medal at the International Invention, Innovation & Technology Exhibition (ITEX)—a proud moment for Malaysian innovation.
This award recognizes ECZEFOLIA™ as a standout new ingredient that offers a natural and effective option for eczema relief, without using steroids.
Made from a local Malaysian herb known as , ECZEFOLIA™ is backed by science and designed to be easy to use—whether in capsules, sachets, or other supplement formats.
It’s a great fit for brands looking to create safe, gentle, and proven skin health products for both kids and adults.
We hope our innovation can bring comfort to those who are tired of battling eczema—because nature, backed by science, can be a gentle and powerful solution.
