About
The Kadar DNA
Clinical formulations. Honest doses.
Kadar began with a frustration. Our founder, Dr. Yeoh Wern-Shin, spent a decade formulating skincare for brands that sold a serum for ten times the cost of the actives inside it. The molecules worked. The prices did not make sense.
So in 2019, we started a lab in Bangsar with one rule: print the dose, price it honestly, and leave out everything the skin does not need. No fragrance to mask a smell. No colour. No filler active added to pad an ingredient list. Just the molecule that does the work, at the concentration on the front of the bottle.
That rule turned out to be harder to keep than to write. It meant walking away from the margins that fragrance and story allow, publishing percentages our competitors hide, and saying no to a claim whenever the testing did not back it. Six years on, it is still the only rule we will not bend.
Our commitments
What we hold ourselves to
Print the dose
The active and its exact concentration are on the front of every bottle. No proprietary blends, no hidden percentages.
Pay for the active
We price to the cost of the ingredients and honest manufacturing, not to a luxury story. That is why a serum costs RM32, not RM320.
Nothing you do not need
No added fragrance, essential oils, dyes or filler actives. Fewer ingredients, each there for a reason.
Made and notified in Malaysia
Formulated and manufactured locally to the ISO 22716 GMP standard, and notified with the NPRA before every launch.
Recyclable and refillable
Glass and mono-material packaging, a bottle take-back at our stores, and refills on the bestsellers.
Honest claims only
If a benefit is not supported by testing, it does not go on the label. Our clinical studies manager signs off every line.
