Choose the molecule
We pick the active with the strongest evidence for the concern, not the trendiest name on the label.
Grounded in science. Driven by purpose.
Our Lab
A small team in Bangsar who care more about the assay result than the marketing deck. Every claim on this site is signed off by the people below.
How we work
How a Kadar formula is made
We start with the molecule and the evidence, not the marketing. Every formula answers one question: what active, at what dose, will actually change this concern, and can we prove it.
Then we build the simplest possible formula around it, notify it with the NPRA, and print the exact concentration on the front of the bottle.
Set the honest dose
We formulate at the concentration shown to work in studies, and we print that number on the front.
Prove it, then print it
Every batch is assay-tested to confirm the dose, and finished formulas pass stability and tolerance testing before launch.
From molecule to label
- Screen the actives and the evidence for the target concern.
- Formulate the simplest stable base at the effective dose.
- Assay, stability and tolerance testing on every batch.
- Notify with the NPRA, then print the dose on the front.
Held to a standard
What every Kadar formula meets
Not slogans. Attributes we can point to on every batch.
