Our Story

Born from the lab.
Built for real life.

REMDII was created by researchers who understood that eczema and sensitive skin was not just a cosmetic concern — it was a daily battle. So we built something that actually works, backed by science, and trusted by the people who need it most.

A university lab that refused to stay in the lab.

REMDII began as a research initiative at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) in 2014, where our founding scientists — researchers in Biotechnology, Biochemistry and Food Technology — spent years studying the relationship between lipids, skin barrier function, and inflammatory skin conditions including eczema and atopic dermatitis.

What started as academic research became something more urgent — a realisation that the people who needed these breakthroughs most were still waiting. In 2018, LIPIDGROUP SDN BHD was established to bring this science out of the lab and into real hands.

REMDII launched its first product in 2017 and has since grown to be trusted by 100,000 people, available at over 1,000 clinics and pharmacies across Malaysia and Singapore.

OUR PROMISE

A promise to discover and deliver research-supported quality products for everyone's well-being.

Smart Moisturising.
Backed by science.

REMDII is a functional skincare brand developed through scientific expertise for sensitive and eczema-prone skin, including those with atopic dermatitis.

The "E" in our logo carries three meanings — eczema care, our core bioactive ingredient Natural Full Spectrum Vitamin E, and a box form symbolising completeness and thoughtful formulation.

Powered by stabilised Full Spectrum Vitamin E — up to 60 times more antioxidant than conventional Vitamin E — REMDII introduces the first Smart Moisturiser with dual action: forming a protective skin barrier while delivering deep, targeted repair. Clinically proven, steroid-free, and safe for all ages.

MESC

We didn't just build a brand.
We built a community.

Because living with eczema can feel isolating. We wanted to change that.
