AweMed Series Sponsors Eczema Family Day 2025 to Support Singapore's Sensitive Skin Community
Deepening Community Engagement Through Sponsorship
The brand's decision to sponsor the Eczema Family Day stems from its ongoing commitment to supporting individuals and engaging local communities with sensitive and eczema-prone skin. While
the brand has been providing gentle, eczema-friendly skincare solutions for several years, this marks a new chapter in its efforts to connect directly with the eczema community.
'We've always provided support for eczema patients through our products, but we recognised the need to do more,' said a spokesperson for AweMed®. 'Increasing our visibility within the eczema community has been a long-standing goal. So, when we were approached by the main event organiser about sponsoring or participating in the annual Eczema Family Day, we were eager to get involved.'
Awareness and Education on Daily Eczema Management
AweMed® also invited Dr. Ellie Choi, a board-certified dermatologist at the National University Hospital, to speak at the event. Her talk, titled 'Eczema Care for All Ages: Managing It in Adults and Kids,' highlighted the chronic nature of eczema and emphasised the importance of consistent, day-to-day management. Dr. Choi also underscored the vital role that eczema support networks play in helping individuals navigate their journey.
The brand's involvement also went beyond sponsorship. Team members were present to connect with attendees, offer product samples, and share practical tips on caring for sensitive and eczema-prone skin. A selected number of visitors were offered a free moisturiser for itchy skin, and all ESGS members received a 10% promotional code.
Overall, the event provided a meaningful platform for AweMed® to engage directly with the community about their individual skincare concerns.
Launch of a New Free Sample Initiative
For those who were not present at Eczema Family Day or are not part of the ESGS, AweMed is continuing to offer free samples as part of a three-month initiative.
This move is in response to a common concern expressed by many Family Day attendees—hesitation in trying new skincare due to the reactivity of their skin. As such, this initiative is designed to offer a safe, no-obligation way for users to experience the company's formulations firsthand, making its products more accessible to those newly discovering the AweMed® skincare line.
This free samples programme is open to all, with no specific eligibility requirements. Samples will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis while stocks last. Readers can also visit the brand's Instagram page for updates about an ongoing promotion.

Compounds in Coffee May Help Lower Type 2 Diabetes Risk, Study Finds
Researchers say black coffee can help lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. The findings of a new study suggest that people who regularly drink caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee benefit from some of the beverage's naturally occurring polyphenols. Experts say the amount of coffee a person can tolerate varies, and you should avoid adding sugar or cream or eating unhealthy breakfast foods with your coffee. A new research analysis suggests that black coffee, whether caffeinated or decaffeinated, may help lower the chances of developing type 2 diabetes. Researchers affiliated with universities in the Republic of Korea say people who drink 3 to 5 cups of black coffee per day benefit from natural compounds known as polyphenols. The findings were recently published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences. For the study, the researchers compiled data from 149 publications to examine coffee's effects on the metabolic forces involved in the development of type 2 diabetes. They focused on five hydroxycinnamic acids found in coffee and analyzed the effects these polyphenols had on the small intestines, pancreas, liver, muscle, and tissue. The analysis shows that daily consumption of black coffee can help modulate blood sugar levels, suppress inflammation, enhance insulin sensitivity, provide antioxidant properties, and improve glucose metabolism. The results were similar for both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee, so the benefits appeared to be derived from compounds other than caffeine. This included a 20–30% lower risk of type 2 diabetes incidence for regular coffee drinkers. The scientists say further research is necessary, but the benefits of daily coffee consumption appear to be clear. 'Coffee and its bioactive compounds, including chlorogenic acid and its hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives… have significant potential in the prevention and management of [type 2 diabetes],' the researchers wrote. Zhaoping Li, MD, a professor of medicine and the chief of the Division of Clinical Nutrition at the University of California, Los Angeles, agreed. Li wasn't involved in the study. 'Drinking coffee provides natural benefits,' she told Healthline. 'You can make coffee part of your healthy lifestyle.' Marilyn Tan, MD, a clinical associate professor of medicine at Stanford University in California, had some cautions about the findings. Tan was likewise not involved in the study. She said the findings are notable, but added that some of the research reviewed was conducted in lab settings. She said that observational studies don't always account for external factors such as coffee drinkers' overall health. '[The research] is a very bold statement, as a 20–30% risk reduction is very large and meaningful,' Tan told Healthline. 'Interestingly, whether the coffee was caffeinated or not did not seem to make a difference, which suggests it's not the caffeine driving the benefit, but rather the other components of the coffee.' How does coffee impact type 2 diabetes risk? Li explains that coffee is a natural product. If you drink it black, it's basically just coffee beans and hot water. Li said coffee beans contain about 200 compounds, many of which have potential health benefits. In some cases, the mixture of compounds is beneficial. Many of these compounds are also similar to the ones found in certain spices. 'Humans can take advantage of what this [coffee] plant provides,' Li said. 'The health benefits of black coffee seem to be obvious.' Previous research has indicated that there are other health benefits to regular coffee drinking. Another recent study reported that regular consumption of black coffee can reduce a person's overall mortality risk as well as their risk of death from cardiovascular disease. Other studies have associated coffee with improved brain health, lowering the risk of depression, and protecting against certain liver conditions. Most people should avoid excess caffeine, coffee Li cautioned people to be wary of their caffeine intake if they are drinking 3 to 5 cups of coffee per day. She said 3 cups daily is probably fine for most people, but some folks may not be able to handle the caffeine load from 4 or 5 servings per day. People with certain heart conditions should also carefully monitor their caffeine intake. 'Everybody is different,' Li said. Tan shared similar concerns. 'Three to five cups of coffee is a significant amount,' she said. 'If the coffee contains caffeine, excess caffeine may also have other unwanted symptoms, such as headaches, jitteriness, nausea, [and] insomnia. In addition, with certain health conditions (pregnancy, heart disease), this much caffeine may cause physical harm.' Li said those who can't tolerate a lot of caffeine can simply drink decaffeinated coffee. 'You remove the caffeine, but the rest of the compounds are still there,' she said. People can also drink tea or use spices in their cooking instead of sugar and salt to obtain some of these health benefits, Li added. How to maximize your coffee intake Li said the most important way to derive health benefits from coffee is to drink it black without adding sugar or cream. She advised against unhealthy breakfast foods with coffee, such as sugary donuts. Li noted that coffee can be particularly helpful if it's a substitute for other types of liquids, particularly those high in sugar. 'Black coffee is beneficial, especially if you are replacing sugary drinks with it,' she said. What to know about type 2 diabetes The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that nearly 39 million U.S. adults — roughly 15% of the adult population — have diabetes. The percentage rises with age, reaching nearly 30% in people ages 65 and older. The condition is also more prevalent in non-white populations and is slightly higher among males than females. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic condition that is characterized by high blood glucose levels, resulting from the body's ineffective response to insulin or insufficient insulin production. The symptoms of type 2 diabetes can include: unusual hunger fatigue or lack of energy excessive thirst frequent urination blurry vision There are a number of factors that can raise a person's risk of type 2 diabetes, such as: genetics excessive weight lack of physical activity a diet high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, and ultra-processed foods Li advised people to limit added sugars and monitor the starch and carbohydrates in their daily diets and reiterated the importance of daily exercise. Tan agreed that an overall healthy lifestyle can help reduce type 2 diabetes risk. Lifestyle factors that may influence risk include:

Alibaba's $1.5B Bond Move Hints at Bigger Bet--But Not on China
Alibaba (NYSE:BABA) is quietly pulling a familiar lever to raise fresh capitalthis time through a HK$12 billion ($1.5 billion) bond offering exchangeable into shares of its healthcare unit, Alibaba Health. The zero-coupon bonds, maturing in 2032, come with a 40%50% exchange premium over a yet-to-be-finalized reference price, which will be determined through a concurrent delta placement. The structure is designed to let investors hedge their position while Alibaba unlocks value from a strategic assetwithout a direct equity sale. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Signs with BABA. It's a playbook we've seen before. Earlier this year, Baidu used a similar structure to raise $2 billion via exchangeables. These types of bonds offer companies a way to trim stakes in subsidiaries while keeping upside optionality alive. For Alibaba, the timing may be more than financial housekeeping. By tapping this route, the company may be signaling that it sees better return opportunities elsewherenamely, in its cloud infrastructure and international commerce business, where proceeds are expected to be reinvested. JPMorgan, UBS, Citi, and Morgan Stanley are running the books on the deal. For investors, the structure raises some interesting questions: Will Alibaba Health see enough momentum to hit the premium? Will Alibaba's core betscloud and global e-commercedeliver the returns needed to justify the trade-off? This isn't just a capital raiseit could be a signal of what Alibaba sees coming next.
