Sunscreen is the cornerstone of any good skincare routine – and for good reason. With advanced formulas and skin-loving ingredients, today's sunscreens do more than protect.
From lightweight formulations to colour-correcting creams, these top picks keep your skin safe and glowing.
Because shielding your skin from the sun is the ultimate act of self-care.
Strengthening and brightening
The SK-II GenOptics Airy UV Cream & CC Primer (SPF 50+ / PA++++) is a 5-in-1 UV solution that moisturises, brightens, firms and protects against UV rays.
It contains Pitera, a naturally derived ingredient crafted from a proprietary yeast fermentation process, which minimises oxidative stress and strengthens the skin barrier.
It is available in three shades: Airy UV Cream (untinted), CC Primer Beige and CC Primer Rosy.
Breathable and buildable
Skinmade's Skin Miracle Broad Spectrum + Blue Light Sunscreen is a 'mesra wuduk' (ablution friendly) version of its Tinted Sunscreen.
The breathable and buildable formula is ultra-gentle and easy to wash off: perfect for those who perform ablution.
It also offers seamless blending and natural tone adaptation for all skin types, with encapsulated pigments that adjust to your skin tone for a weightless, second-skin finish.

Holistic Way launches 4 new health supplements in Malaysia
MALAYSIA's wellness landscape just got a significant boost as Holistic Way, Singapore's leading health supplement brand, officially launched four groundbreaking health formulas tailored specifically for Malaysian consumers on June 30, 2025. Addressing Modern Health Challenges In today's demanding lifestyle, maintaining optimal health has become increasingly challenging. Recognizing this growing need, Holistic Way—founded in 2007 by Ricky Ong under JR Life Sciences—has developed these targeted solutions to support Malaysians in their daily wellness journey. 'Health is not just physical, it's the quality and depth of life,' reflects the brand's core philosophy of 'Health In Harmony,' which has guided their commitment to scientifically validated, premium supplements for nearly two decades. Four Game-Changing Formulas 1. Super ActiveFlex with UC-II® - Revolutionary Joint Support This advanced joint formula features clinically proven UC-II® undenatured Type II collagen, demonstrated to be more effective than traditional glucosamine and chondroitin. Perfect for both aging adults experiencing knee stiffness and younger individuals seeking proactive joint care. 2. BiO-NMN Long-evity - Cellular Energy Powerhouse Featuring NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide), often called the 'key to youth,' this formula targets cellular health and energy regeneration. Ideal for combating fatigue, mental fog, and supporting healthy aging at the cellular level. 3. Super Barley Wheat Greens - Daily Nutritional Insurance Packed with 14 superfoods including barley grass, wheatgrass, carrot, and spinach, this fiber-rich blend addresses the common Malaysian challenge of insufficient fruit and vegetable intake, supporting digestion and gut health. 4. Super Greens D-Tox Enzymes - Natural Cleansing Solution A sophisticated blend of super greens, digestive enzymes, and natural ingredients like senna extract, designed for gentle yet effective detoxification and digestive wellness. Exclusive Guardian Partnership The prestigious launch event featured key industry leaders including Ricky Ong (Managing Director, JR Life Sciences), Jeffrey Kee (Director, Holistic Way Sdn Bhd), Sheryn (Head of Commercial Healthcare, Guardian), and Lee CH (Senior General Manager of Marketing, Pavilion KL).

Fadhlina congratulates SK Putrajaya Presint 11 (1) on top 10 finish in World's Best School Prizes
LANGKAWI: Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the selection of Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Putrajaya Presint 11(1) as a top 10 finalist for the 2025 World's Best School Prizes in the 'Supporting Healthy Lives' category reflects the strong potential of Malaysian schools to excel globally. Extending her congratulations to the school community, Fadhlina expressed hope that SK Putrajaya Presint 11(1) would go on to win in the next round of the competition. 'I would like to congratulate the teachers, administrators and students of SK Putrajaya Presint 11(1). We hope they will be shortlisted again and go on to secure a win in the upcoming stages. Congratulations and well done. 'This recognition proves that Malaysia, our children, and our schools have tremendous potential. It reflects our model, our culture and most importantly, our schools,' she said at a press conference following the ASEAN Education and Higher Education Ministers' Roundtable (#EduRoundtables2025) held here today. Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek noted that Malaysian schools have previously been shortlisted and even won international recognition, particularly under the World's Best School Prizes. 'Previously, we had a school in Penang, another in Banting, and now, this uplifting news from Putrajaya,' she said. Earlier, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim congratulated the teachers and students of SK Putrajaya Presint 11(1), describing their dedication and efforts as a source of inspiration for all. In a statement on its website, the award organiser, T4 Education, said the Putrajaya school stood out with its innovative mobile app, HELPIE, which breaks down barriers to mental health support and well-being. Developed by students for students, HELPIE offers accessible, interactive and engaging mental health resources and, crucially, makes support fun. To ensure inclusivity for students with limited digital access, the app is pre-installed on school-provided tablets, allowing children to use it throughout the school day. 'Since its implementation, the school has reported a 60 percent drop in student stress levels. More than 90 percent of students now have a better understanding of their emotions, while 87 percent say they are more aware of their stress levels,' the statement added.
