The Biotechnology industry in Malaysia is relatively small despite having a large amount of human resources and biodiversity. Job availability in this industry is relatively low and this can be seen with the low number of vacancies for biology and engineering science graduates in this industry. In addition, the value of net trade for the cosmetics and personal hygiene industry is negative although this industry is proven to be large in Malaysia, with an import value of around RM4.8 Billion in 2019 alone. Recent developments in cosmetic science in Korea that use new innovative materials and a collection of skin care products based on social media influencers are growing and opening new opportunities in the industry. For us this means the latest developments in biological sciences have opened up the blue ocean in this sector. Local herbal and crop technology innovations open up bright opportunities to open the door to access to emerging markets such as Malaysia or ASEAN. This website aims to be a source of knowledge for aspiring beauty and health entrepreneurs in Malaysia. They will be the catalyst for more Malaysians to take advantage of new innovations in this huge industry. We are also confident that the supply chain of the beauty industry will change in the years to come. With more complex formulations, derived from different plant and chemical derivatives, local communities can take the opportunity to meet this demand without substantial capital. Large-scale commercial production will prove unprofitable for such products. In addition, with more awareness of environmental sustainability. Cosmetic packaging and distribution can also change radically towards short-term distribution, in line with the circular economic supply chain. This means more opportunities for the local community to meet the demands of this new way of doing business.
