BLACKMORES Champions Vision Wellness Through Natural Solutions

In an era dominated by digital screens, BLACKMORES, a leading global company in natural health steps up to advocate for vision wellness, offering natural solutions amidst growing concerns over eye health. With a commitment to natural ingredients and a focus on holistic well-being, the brand sets the stage for a new standard in digital eye care.

The widespread use of digital devices has led to a surge in eye health issues across all age groups. From students to working professionals and social media enthusiasts, prolonged screen time has become synonymous with symptoms of digital eye strain, including eye fatigue and discomfort. Recognizing this urgent need, BLACKMORES, rooted in the principles of naturopathy, emphasises prevention and natural remedies to address these modern-day challenges.

"At BLACKMORES, we believe in the importance of holistic wellness. Our mission is to empower individuals to prioritise their eye health as an integral part of their overall wellness journey. Through our ongoing research and advocacy efforts, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of eye health and inspire positive lifestyle changes that benefit long-term vision wellness, all while delivering scientifically proven solutions that are kind to the body," said Kumaran Chandrasergaran, Country Manager of BLACKMORES Malaysia and Singapore.

It is crucial for individuals to focus on prevention rather than relying solely on treatment when it comes to caring for their eyes. In addition to taking regular breaks to rest the eyes and adjusting screen brightness to avoid glare, incorporating eye supplements into one’s daily regimen, which are often overlooked, can further provide valuable support in combating the effects of prolonged screen exposure.

The selection of the right supplements can not only offer natural protection and prevent eye fatigue but also reduce the need for extensive eye care. At the core of an effective eye health supplement are two key ingredients: Lutein and Zeaxanthin. These nutrients, derived from various sources, including natural sources like Marigold flowers, serve as powerful antioxidants to protect eyes from free radical damage and play crucial roles in blue-light filtering. Moreover, research has shown that maintaining the optimal ratio of Lutein and Zeaxanthin is essential for maximising their benefits. Therefore, achieving the precise 5:1 ratio (10 mg:2 mg) is crucial to ensure optimal absorption and effectiveness.

Specifically with prolonged screen exposure, this combination alleviates symptoms of eyestrain and fatigue by reducing glare, enhancing contrast, and maintaining cellular health. By harnessing the benefits of Lutein (10 mg) and Zeaxanthin (2 mg), individuals can achieve clearer eyesight and delay the progression of age-related eye problems, promoting healthy eye functions holistically.

Aside from effective formulation, individuals frequently using digital devices are encouraged to seek eye health supplements containing daily natural carotenoids when protecting their eyes from digital strain. Opting for a convenient, one-a-day dose will also further ensure seamless integration of supplements into a consumers' daily routine, promoting consistent eye care amidst their day to day.

As digital reliance continues to grow, BLACKMORES remains at the forefront of advocating for natural solutions in digital eye health, empowering individuals to embrace the digital world with clarity and confidence while fostering healthier lives. With over 90 years of expertise and having received the prestigious Trusted Brand Award for the tenth time this year, BLACKMORES continuously strives to deliver high-quality supplements. The brand achieves this by sourcing the most reliable ingredients and offering products suitable for different dietary preferences, such as halal and vegan options, catering to diverse needs.

Selsun Blue Unveils Breakthrough Advanced Oil Control Shampoo for Enhanced Scalp Care

At a launch event today, Selsun Blue introduced its latest innovation, the Selsun Blue Advanced Oil Control Shampoo, Anti-Dandruff & Scalp Care. Featuring Selsun Blue’s Dual Power Formula, the shampoo leverages on the synergistic combination of Selenium Sulfide and Piroctone Olamine to offer users an effective solution to combat and to control recurrence of severe dandruff.

In a recent consumer survey, an overwhelming 85% of consumers have reported the shampoo's effectiveness in treating severe dandruff, while 87% attested to its remarkable odour-control capabilities. Additionally, 37% of respondents noted a marked improvement in scalp health after incorporating Selsun Blue Advanced Oil Control into their hair care routine.

"Understanding the needs of our customers is paramount to Selsun Blue, and we are committed to supporting them on their journey to optimal hair and scalp care," remarked Lim Mei Yuen, General Manager of Rohto-Mentholatum Malaysia. "With our Advanced Oil Control Shampoo, individuals can now take decisive action against unwanted dandruff, benefiting from its advanced formulation that not only combats dandruff effectively but also enhances overall scalp health."

According to Lim, the formula also provides long-lasting odour control, in addition to clarifying and exfoliating oily scalp to prevent excess oil build-up and greasiness. The company states that it is designed to significantly improve scalp health by maintaining the scalp microbiome to minimise irritation.

“But the benefits do not end there. We intend to help our customers keep their hair smooth and moisturised with ingredients such as honey extract, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid. Our customers can experience the hydrating effects simply after just one wash.”

During a panel discussion at the launch, Glen Hiew, Founder and CEO (Chief Executive Officer) of KAMI Hair Group, highlighted the impact of dandruff and oily scalps on hairstyling, emphasizing the importance of tailored solutions like Selsun Blue. "Dandruff not only affects appearance but can also indirectly contribute to hair loss. Our goal is to empower consumers by offering specialized anti-dandruff solutions that address their specific scalp concerns."

Echoing these sentiments, Dr. Che Hafiz underscored the importance of proper scalp care, particularly in Malaysia's humid climate, where dandruff thrives. Dr. Che Hafiz emphasised the significance of using medicated shampoos containing active ingredients like Selenium Sulfide and Piroctone Olamine, especially for active individuals and hijab wearers.

This World Oral Health Day, Sensodyne introduces NEW Triple Action Formula: ‘Sensitivity Gum & Enamel’

This World Oral Health Day, Sensodyne, the #1 Sensitivity Toothpaste brand in Malaysia*, launched Sensodyne Sensitivity Gum & Enamel, a clinically proven, ground-breaking innovation with a specialized triple mode of action formula that provides long-lasting sensitivity relief, helps restores gum health, and strengthens enamel in two weeks. Its innovative Micro Foam technology effectively delivers the active ingredient (Stannous Fluoride) in hard-to-reach areas between teeth and along the gumline.

Oral health problems are considered to be largely preventable through effective oral hygiene, yet their prevalence remains high. In Malaysia, 94% of Malaysian adults have gum problems, 71% suffer from tooth sensitivity, and nearly 46% experience yellowing of teeth, which may be due to the loss of enamel, according to a 2021 Kantar study. These findings highlight a significant consumer need for solutions addressing a range of oral health concerns in Malaysia.

Sensitivity in teeth is primarily caused by gum issues and enamel erosion. Enamel is the outer most protective layer of the tooth which may weaken with time due to acids in common food and beverages, whereas gum problems stem from plaque bacteria accumulation. 

“While many Malaysians face tooth sensitivity, gum problems, and enamel issues, solutions exist”, says Bryan Wong, General Manager, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei (MSB), Haleon. Bryan added,  "Nine out of tens adults are at risk of enamel loss due to acidic foods, yet so many people are unaware of the effect it can have on our teeth. At Haleon, we believe that healthy teeth should not be an exclusive privilege. Through the introduction of Sensodyne Sensitivity Gum & Enamel and the #BetterOralCareNation campaign, we aim to inspire Malaysians to prioritize their oral health by presenting accessible solutions.” 

Sensodyne is continuing its movement of #BetterOralCareNation to raise oral health awareness across Malaysia and motivate Malaysians to prioritize their oral health for healthier gums and teeth. The campaign includes a captivating television commercial, eye-catching outdoor advertising, engaging on-ground activities, and informative content across Sensodyne Malaysia's website, social media channels, and traditional media platforms. By collaborating with healthcare professionals, social media creators, and influencers, Sensodyne aims to deliver channel-relevant reliable information.

The campaign officially launched on 1st March, with the first event taking place on 7th March at Sunway Velocity Mall in Kuala Lumpur, with free dental check-up (sensitivity, gum and enamel tests). As part of the engagement activities, the popular #BetterOralCareNation anthem is brought back on social media to inspire Malaysians to improve their oral health awareness and practices.

Sensodyne Sensitivity Gum & Enamel toothpaste can be found in pharmacies, dental clinics, minimarkets, supermarkets, and hypermarkets across Malaysia.
