Recently I attended the launch preview of the "World of Mamonde". AmorePacific Malaysia held the launch at Royale Chulan Damansara Hotel, Mamonde (french word for 'My World'). Thank you the Butterfly Project Malaysia for inviting me to this launch preview.
Introduction the brand by Margaret Chin, AmorePacific's Malaysia's General Malaysia.
  "Mamonde's skincare is the first of its kind in the cosmetics market as it uses only flowers as its key ingredient in the formulation for all its products,"said Margeret Chin, General Manager of AmorePacific Malaysia.

Price range of its products is expected to be between RM6 - RM169, it's affordable and inexpensive.

 
 Mamonde Brand Story
"Inspired by Flowers"
The flower, a sign of beauty and a symbol of grace; is also magical with its ability to speak to the soul in a which words cannot express. The blossoming flower, its colors and pleasant scent emits a natural inherent vitality and surging energy that lifts the mood and comforts the heart. But there's much more to this extraordinary plant. 

AmorePacific Research Institute discovered the close relation between flowers and a woman's beauty.
Advanced research was then carried out on various flowers; from the root to its stem and petals to discover the amazing power and energy that the flowers possess. Findings the reveal that flowers contain moisturising and skin-nourishing ingredients that not only provide nourishment to the skin but also moisture and balance oil production to maintain a vibrant skin. 

Years of research concluded with the inception of a unique innovation and formulation that use floral extraction to re-invent beauty. AmorePacific named its innovation Mamonde, a brand that inspires feminine beauty with flowers through its flower science technology.

At the garden, beauty bloggers were given a detailed briefing on the R&D of Mamonde which covers the 5 key flowers used in Mamonde formulation, flower science, technologies and its floral properties. 
 The walk continues as we reach Mamonde's product experience area and finally, a 'Flower Beauty Class' that captivates participants with all things floral.
