The debut kicks off with a pop-up experience at 1 Utama Shopping Centre's Oval Concourse (LG Floor) running from today until 17 August 2025. Founded in 2009, Purcotton is built on the purity and comfort of 100% natural cotton. Derived from the words 'Pure' and 'Cotton', the brand is dedicated to creating everyday essentials that are naturally gentle on the skin and kind to the planet. Backed by 34 years of medical expertise from its parent company, Winner Medical, Purcotton upholds stringent medical-grade manufacturing standards across its entire product range, which includes the world's first and No.1 100% Cotton Tissue, as well as cotton wet wipes, feminine hygiene products, baby care, home care, and travel essentials. 'We are excited to bring Purcotton's premium cotton lifestyle essentials to Malaysia, a market that values quality, comfort, and sustainability,' said Andie Liu Hua, Vice President of Purcotton. 'Our mission is to inspire Malaysians to embrace everyday products that are not only gentle on their skin but also kind to the environment. This is just the beginning of our journey here, and we look forward to growing alongside the community, with care and responsibility at the core of everything we do.' Pure Cotton, Pure Comfort Purcotton is built on the belief that what touches the skin should be safe, comfortable, and responsibly made. Cotton, a natural fibre that can be used directly without chemical processing, offers inherent softness, breathability, and lasting comfort — qualities that support everyday wellbeing. All Purcotton products are crafted using 100% top-grade, pure, and natural cotton that is hypoallergenic and free from harsh chemicals, making them suitable for all skin types, including babies and those with sensitive skin. As a natural fibre, cotton thrives in arid soil, can be harvested annually, and naturally biodegrades. This makes it a renewable and environmentally friendly choice from source to shelf, reinforcing the brand's commitment to safe, sustainable living. Celebrating the Everyday Impact of Cotton — From Skin to Sustainability Purcotton's 'Pure Cotton, Pure Comfort' pop-up at 1 Utama was officially launched with an exclusive panel session designed to spark education, expert dialogue, and real-world change. Sharing insights into why cotton matters, the session brought together Consultant Dermatologist Dr. Kartini Farah Rahim, Sustainability Advocate and TV Host Melissa Tan, and Content Creator and Fashion Tastemaker Jestinna Kuan, who explored cotton's impact on skincare, lifestyle wellness, and long-term sustainability. At the heart of Purcotton's Malaysia debut is The Cotton Commitment — an open invitation for Malaysians to make more mindful choices in everyday life. Whether it's choosing 100% natural cotton over synthetic alternatives, embracing healthier, safer habits, or simply becoming more aware of the products we use — and what truly is natural and safe — every small step contributes to a bigger impact. Together, these conscious actions can help shape a future that's gentler on our skin and kinder to the planet. Experience Purcotton at 1 Utama Running until 17 August at 1 Utama, the Purcotton pop-up invites visitors to discover the comfort of 100% pure cotton through interactive discovery zones, hands-on product trials, tote bag customisation, and a fun digital game. Guests can also learn about the benefits of pure cotton, redeem cotton seeds to grow at home, and take part in a Spend and Win activity for a chance to walk away with exclusive gifts.

(Video) Park Shin-Hye Thanks Tengku Zatashah For Loving K-pop During Recent Meeting In Malaysia
Over the weekend, South Korean actress Park Shin-Hye (박신혜) graced two events in the Klang Valley, drawing massive crowds with her appearances. At one of the events, the star met the Princess of Selangor, HRH Tengku Zatashah Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, and shared a heartwarming moment on stage. The South Korean star recently attended two events by the reflexology equipment company ITSU. These two appearances marked Park Shin-Hye's long-awaited return to Malaysia after 9 years. At the event at IOI City Mall Putrajaya, Park Shin-Hye had the honour of meeting Tengku Zatashah. As the two shared the stage, the Selangor royalty extended a few questions to the actress. Tengku Zatashah shared a clip from the Q&A session on her Instagram page, revealing Park Shin-Hye's favourite song at the moment, which is 'Golden' from the 'K-pop Demon Hunters' soundtrack. The actress then spoke about meeting the Selangor Princess, revealing that she had looked up the public figure on social media before the event and learned about her fondness for K-pop and Korean pop culture. Park Shin-Hye then thanked Tengku Zatashah for her love for K-pop, saying, 'It's such an honour to have a Princess who loves Korean culture so much.' The Selangor royalty responded to the praise by thanking the actress in Korean. The pair also posed for a photo, which Tengku Zatashah shared on her Instagram with the caption, 'Thank you, Ms Park Shin Hye, it was such a pleasure meeting you and I really enjoyed chatting with you on stage for our Q&A. We hope to see you again in Malaysia.' The 'Doctor Slump' actress also shared a selfie on her Instagram Stories to thank Malaysian fans for supporting her events at 1 Utama and IOI City Mall. In the captions, Park Shin-Hye wrote, 'Thank you, Malaysia, I want to come back again. See you again.' It's believed the actress has already returned to South Korea, leading fans to ask the star to visit Malaysia again as soon as possible. Perhaps the next time Park Shin-Hye is in town, Tengku Zatashah can bring her on a tour around the city and the Selangor Palace.

New Brice Flavour Drops, MINNIE Shows Up — Coincidence? We Think Not!
Subscribe to our FREE Okay, so hear us out. What if it's not just the weather, the food, or the fans that keep bringing MINNIE of the K-pop girl group i-dle back to Malaysia… what if it's a wholesome, crunchy snack made from brown, red, and black rice? This past weekend, things got super loud at 1 Utama's Oval Concourse when ecoBrown's launched the latest flavour in their Brice Flavoured Wholegrain Rice Puff snack line, Himalayan Salt . To mark the occasion, they brought in none other than MINNIE herself, turning a product launch into a full-blown fan gathering. Crowds queued from as early as 7am, waving lightsticks, holding handmade banners (some even in Thai and Korean), and chanting her name across four levels of the mall. MINNIE, clearly moved by the love, said, 'I'm so surprised… some fans even came straight from the airport to here! I really appreciate your love.' She opened the event with a cheerful, 'Saya sayang semua! Ayang angat!' and the crowd just melted. Brice X MINNIE: A Match Made in Snack Heaven If you've been anywhere near the healthy snack aisle lately, you've probably seen Brice — the guilt-free, baked rice snack that's won over taste buds with flavours like Spicy Cheese, Seaweed, and Truffle. Now, Himalayan Salt joins the lineup, bringing that perfect balance of savoury crunch and wellness perks. Made from a blend of brown, red, and black rice, Brice is rich in Vitamins B6, B3, and E. It's baked, not fried — which means you get all the flavour with none of the greasy fingers. Or as MINNIE puts it: 'Tasty but healthy.' In fact, she admitted, 'I want to eat a lot. But I tell myself to control. If possible, I like to eat a lot.' (Relatable, tbh 🫣) And Himalayan Salt isn't just any salt. It's prized for its minerals and beauty-boosting properties, making this flavour a top pick for those who want to snack and slay. According to Vynce Lim, Head of Marketing at ecoBrown's parent company SW Food, the launch was about more than just taste. 'With Brice, you will enjoy the satisfaction of having a light snack while maintaining a healthy body,' she shared. More than that, she said the snacks were about creating 'special moments for friends, loved ones, and loyal customers.' 'Snack Brice While Listening To My Album' The launch wasn't just about the product, it was a mini showcase too! MINNIE sang a snippet of her solo track Valentine's Dream, busted out a few dance moves, and even teased fans with this line: 'Snack Brice while listening to my album.' (Marketing queen behaviour 💅) She also gave a cheeky suggestion for Brice's next line of new flavours 'Som tam? Durian? Let's go for durian!' Honestly? We'd snack on that. Fans didn't leave empty-handed either, as people were grabbing baskets of Brice, snapping pics at activity booths, and soaking up every second of the K-pop chaos. Will MINNIE Be Back? All signs point to yes! MINNIE spoke fondly of Malaysia, saying the weather reminds her of home and that the iconic 'Malaysia Truly Asia' jingle has 'stick in my head,' since she was a child, she laughed. 'I'd love to come to Malaysia more often. Please wait for me and i-dle. Hopefully next year. Can you wait for us?' —- MINNIE. She also added, 'I wanna go visit Kota Kinabalu,' which sent Sabahan fans into a frenzy. 'The photos look so good — the sea looks clear, peaceful. I really want to go someday,' she said, adding that she hopes to visit Malaysia more often. So… could Brice be the real reason she keeps coming back? We're not saying it is, but we're also not, not saying it. 😗 So, are y'all ready to snack smart like MINNIE? The new Brice Himalayan Salt Flavoured Wholegrain Rice Puff is available now in 40g and 100g packs at Jaya Grocer, Mydin, Lotus's, AEON, and most major supermarkets near you.
