Import of Cosmetics?

Starting a cosmetic and skincare business in Malaysia?

Or, trying to import cosmetics products to market in Malaysia?

You need "product notification certificate" for importation purpose.

Do you know that all imported skincare and cosmetics products need to register with Ministry of Health Malaysia before sell to the local? Some call it "KKM Registration". Some call it "NOT Registration"

The registration process might be a bit confusing as you may need to apply for membership, then buy a token, and install the software to your computer.

After done the registration and installation, then the application of products take place. This is the most time consuming process, as the authorities officer will review your products, documentation and ingredients before approval. You may expect about 1 month for the whole process.

I had experience registering hundreds of imported body care and skincare products such as face mask, hand mask, foot mask, sunblock, body lotions, face skincare like Cleanser, Toner, Cream, serum, essence, makeup remover, and make up for makeup, BB Cream, CC Cream, lipsticks, eye shadow,foundation and etc.

The Charges?

1. Membership Registration
Apply for first Time Registration Only.
(The package price charged by service provider. We do not earn from this)

Membership Certificate Application
Package New User A : RM275.60 - 1 year digital certificate validity
Package New User B : RM306.40 - 2 years digital certificate validity

2. Products Registration

Our fees are from RM250 and depends on your products type.Contact me for more details.

Requirement?

I do registration for business owner who wants to import their products to Malaysia. Why business owner? Because individual application is not accepted by Malaysia rules.

I do have solution for overseas supplier who are interested to market their products in Malaysia as well.

Here are the sample of success cosmetics application.

FOODS I WILL NEVER EAT IN MY LIFE - WILL YOU?

2013-11-10T10:24:00.000+08:00

I had been travelling to neighboring country in the past few years. The best part i like about travelling are getting to know new people and foods. Today i want to share about foods. Foods that from three different countries that makes me Ewwhh!! And vomiting.

1. Thailand
Crunchy Beetles & Cockroach

I will never eat this. Sure.. I was walking on the street, and saw few hawkers stall by the roadside. Some selling Mango Rice, noodles and this catch my attention, but not my appetite. How could you eat that?

2. Vietnam
- FETAL CHICKEN

I ask my friend that working in Vietnam for more than 10 years. What is the food we should try in Vietnam. Something special..

TADAA...

I am speechless for this.. Really.. Aiyo.. Pity little creature. How could you eat this when u saw? They boil it and just eat like a boiled eggs.

3. China

- DOG'S MEAT

I hire a motorcyclist to ride me around the town during my last visit to China last month. This lady, recommended me to try dog's meat. I feel not comfortable listening to this. But yet, this is culture different. For them, maybe it's just like eating Kentucky Fried Chicken. I ask her if all the dogs meat can be eaten and how the taste? She replied, all dogs meat can be eat, except the dogs that had owner / pet. Taste is very nice, cant explain unless you try it. You need to find the right place to eat dog meat, because not every place cook in a good taste, she added. And she knows where serve the good meat. Ewhh..

I just smile and tell her that i prefer Chicken / Fish for lunch today.

Sorry if my post makes you feel disgust.

HOW TO APPLY HALAL JAKIM

2012-11-16T14:18:00.001+08:00

Do you have products that need Halal Application?

You have 2 options.

1. Find an agent
2. Do it yourself

Halal application agents can be found easily and costly too. Do not use agent that are cheap, as they might cheat your money and when you call them, the message you will get is 'the number that you call, cant be reach at the moment'. I was cheated by Hj Muhamad Dhiauddin Bin Haji Hassan (unit operasi zakat). Picture below is his name card. No one in the Jabatan Agama Islam seems to know him when i called to find him at the office number.

After few month, then only i realize that he had resigned from the post after cheating my money.

His company name is Jaringan Bestari Management, which i have his signature and receipt of my payment to him with me.

Above is the email reply by him. Beware with the company name and the email address that he using.

He took my deposit of RM4,500 yet until today, not a nut of approval done by him.And he keep on playing hide and seek. Not answering my call. Buat bodoh only with the money he took.

So if you are thinking of giving agent this responsibilty to do Halal / GMP/HACCP/ISO applications for you, pls make sure you go for a big and old company. Not a new and without background one.

THIS IS MY BAD EXPERIENCE I AM SHARING WITH YOU.

Do it Yourself.

Halal Jakim application is not as tough as you think it is. As i get a lot of feedback from businessman and manufacturer that they are not applying HALAL because it's complicated and troublesome.

My experience with the Halal Application:-

Now the Halal application will be handle by the state Jabatan Agama Islam. I am in Johor, so i went to Jabatan Agama Islam Johor. The staff there are friendly and ready to attend to all our inquires, Their warmth welcome makes me feel comfortable whenever i visit their office. As for non muslim, please wear politely when visit Jabatan Agama Islam. This is a respect to their place and culture. Avoid too much of skin exposure. Usually i will wear long pant with long sleeves.

All the staff in Jabatan Agama Islam are experienced. My halal application get approval within 2 months with their help and guideline. I just do accordingly to their needs and things will be easy for us. Most important, applicant must sincere in applying for Halal. Make sure that the products that you are supplying are really meet the Halal criteria.

Halal is not only about pork or dogs. It covers cleanliness of premises and food handler /staff moral during production that applied.

Alright. Hope my sharing help.
For more information about Halal, feel free to visit their website.

SOMETIMES,EVERYONE NEEDS MOTIVATION

2012-06-05T16:25:00.003+08:00

I love to see all the motivation picture that my friends are sharing on Facebook.

When i am feeling down, it cheers me up.

When i am feeling blue, it brings back the rainbow to my life.

I had saved some of the meaningful quote and wish to share with you here.

I know Robert Kiyosaki when i was 17yrs old, and the age that i have no idea what he was trying to preach, about 'financial freedom'. But today, i am still following his quotes on FB, everyday. And slowly get to understand.

Kim is Robert's wife. I just love how beautiful she is. A woman with wisdom, always the prettiest and most elegant. I do follow her on FB too. I realize that they are posting status at the same time together, almost everyday. : p

I do agree with our genius. There are 3 type of people in the world.
1. Wait
2. Watch
3. Act

To change the world, we need to ACT. Instead of waiting to watch things to happen.

I always SMILE

Okay.. This is FUNNY.

I do need someone like you, someone who never look at the schedule when i need them.

INSPIRING PICTURE THAT I WISH TO SHARE..

So, you are not the only one walking alone. Be strong.

NOSE JOB -PLASTIC SURGERY

2011-10-07T18:23:00.009+08:00

I had once think of going for a nose job (rhynoplasty) and was believe that most of the asian, after plastic surgery will be more pretty and attractive.

I had a friend, i name her P, had undergo nose job twice, and was pretty success. In my mind, she was a very pretty, charming girl with a fairly white skin. And that was before i know about her nose job and vit.c injection. Whenever i see her, i am thinking why she looks so much like 'ang mo' indeed her parents are so 'chinese' looking.. *ponder* Since she is not staying in Malaysia, so i thought maybe because she friends with the 'ang mo' that's why she look more like them.. hahahaha... *STUPID RACHEL*

After some time, she told me that she went for eyelid surgery and nose surgery.. lol.. all my curiosity answered.

As i am so keen to go for surgery that time, i ask her bout her experience. And then i decided not to go for surgery because i do not have the 'GUTS' to do so..

Why i say guts?

I will be more specific on nose job because that is what i want to do.

1. 50/50 success rate

other people do nice. but do you do it as nice as other people?

HAN EUN JEONG - SUCCESS

My fav. korean actress, Kim Tae Hee.. She is very pretty.. Love her

AND SURPRISE... ANGELABABY~

I AM SURPRISE TO SEE THIS PICTURE OF BEFORE N AFTER

Micheal Jackson - More than 10 time nose surgeries

2. Need to suffer the PAIN

According to my friend, P, the pain will be your friend day and night after the surgery for about a week. Even the pain killer by the surgeon not helping much.

3. Need to know the side effect

When my friend mention bout the side effect, in my mind i was thinking that, this is a 'future and technology' story. The surgeon also ensure my friend that there is no side effect for nose job 4 years ago when she undergo the surgery. But 2 years later, P. feels that her nose are dropping. Because she travel and flying a lot. So, she went for a 2nd nose job.

The explanation: Reason for the dropping nose is due to the earth gravity. As for her 2nd nose job, the doctor will take the bone of her back ear and use to support the implant in her nose. The bone will be place at the nose point from inside, and was believe that, the nose wont drop in future because are using human own bone. (hopefully)

4. Addiction

Plastic surgery is a fast and easy way to cover all the imperfection of human. My friend P, went for eye bag remover few months later. She also did her eyelid and give her a bigger round eyes.

Hang Mioku - Due to addiction to Plastic Surgery, she inject cooking oil

5. Public comment

Look at all the celebrities that went for surgery. Kelly Rowland speak loud about her nose and boob job. While some celebrities deny the fact. Eg? haha.. our super blogger Dawn Yang..

Kelly Rowland looks sweet before surgery but elegant after surgery

My friend, P, that i mention above, have the same face as Dawn Yang.. As pretty as her too :)
Is it pretty??

DAWN YANG

Some celebrities have no way to deny when the surgery fail and shows on the face.. And pay so much money for that too...

HERE SHE IS:-

ABOVE IS AMANDA LEPORE N BELOW IS OUR US$ 4MILLION FACE OF JOCELYN WILDENSTEIN

BRITNEY SPEAR IS MY IDOL.. I ADMIRE HER PRETTY FACE SINCE SHE FIRST LAUNCH 'BABY ONE MORE TIME' FROM THE PIC, DO YOU THINK SHE WENT FOR PLASTIC SURGERY?

So, after considering for a long time, i think i have NO GUTS to do so. Better stay natural and appreciate what GOD gave me.. :))

THE CLEANING METHOD X OF BIRD NEST REVEALED..

2011-09-27T18:08:00.005+08:00

It's me showing the different between of bird's nest and fungus that usually confuse the consumer during the factory inspection by the Veterinary Department Malaysia..

Dear friends,

Recently, the news of Red Bird Nest (blood nest ) in China are as hot as pancake. Was understand that the government of China is concern on the Red Bird Nest that are selling in mainland. The main reason of them ban the selling of Edible Bird Nest is due to the high contain of Nitrite. I am not very sure why nitrite can be reason,because it was widely use in meats, as preservative. More information of nitrite, click at the link below.

http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/nutrition/DJ0974.html

Today, i am going to share with you the cleaning method of raw bird nest, by some of the not responsible or, i call them 'cruel business people' . This method is cost budgeting and fast. I call it Method X.

Enjoy~

RAW BIRD NEST. WHITE NEST AND DIRTY NEST

DIRTY NEST COLOUR IS NOT ATTRACTIVE

IF U SEE CAREFULLY, THERE ARE BLACK SPOT AND FUR

Usually, this kind of RAW nest are reject stock, and will be selling cheap. Because it is hard to clean with hand and water only. So, they will be selling cheap and the 'cruel business people' will love to buy. Next, you will see how they manage the nest.

The chemical line up~

First, take a clean bowl

Pour in some water and the 'cement' powder.

'CEMENT' POWDER : The source do not reveal the real name of this powder. But was understand that this is consumable and use only in food industry. This powder will soften the bird nest and the impurities + fur + black spot will divided and float.

Remember this colour :)

This area is impossible to clean by hand~

Let the show start~

First 5 mins

10 mins

15mins, it start to have small bubble

20 mins :He removing the fur

And lightly shake the nest, the fur float and look at the colour of the water

30 mins later

TADAA~

Step 1 completed..

STEP 2 - BLEACHING

Have you heard of people saying bird nest bleaching? NO? YES? NOT SURE? Here, i show you..

RInse the bird nest and the 'cement powder'

See, look clean.. But, still not perfect. Nobody will buy this kind of bird nest.. Consumer want white nest

So, add on Bleaching Liquid

During this step, i was like, OMG.. The smell is terrible..
And once again, he told me that this 'bleaching agent' is applicable in food industry.

See, the bubble.. "remind me of OxyMask" lol

10mins later

15 mins

20 mins

and finally done.. the bleaching step. he took out and rinse with water again

Remember i told you the smell of the bleaching agent? After rinse off with water, the smell lost.

Me: Are them going to sell the bird nest with no smell?
Him : No. Bird nest that undergo this method have no nutrient and smell. Usually consumer buying bird nest judging by smell. So, will put a drop of bird nest 'fragrance'.
Me: Huh? What is that??
Him : This is the Bird Nest Fluid. To create the smell..

A drop

And this is to create the size

After drying

* Please note that not all the bird nest in the market undergo this method. This is an alternative method that are fast, convenient and cost saving. So, beware when buying bird nest.

* Original bird nest are transparent. And smell exactly like white egg.

Why some businessman do not use the traditional method?

1. Labour Cost High - Lack of professional nowaday.
2. Very Slow - Using method X, 1 day can clean up to 20kg of bird nest. But traditional way, 1 person can only clean up to 1.5kg/month.

Traditional Method of Bird Nest Cleaning

I am now working on ' fake and real' bird nest article. Stay tune~

1.As for this moment, if you are going to buy bird nest, ask for their company products lab test report.

2.Do not buy very white colour bird nest (white as A4 paper). Smell like ginseng.
Original bird nest is half transparent and smell like white egg.

3.Order/buy from me..lol joking..
I recommend you Prince Chen Bird's Nest (100% made in Malaysia).

Hope you guys enjoy my post today.
