Haleon introduces a clinically proven dual‑action toothpaste that whitens while protecting enamel
PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA, 10 April 2026: Haleon Malaysia today launched the Sensodyne Clinical White, a clinically proven dual-action toothpaste that delivers visible whitening while providing continuous protection for sensitive teeth. The launch, held at Edenmill by Metal Bees, welcomed approximately 60 key opinion leaders (KOLs) and Watsons key opinion consumers (KOCs) for an immersive, science-led experience.
Built around the campaign idea “No Compromise with Sensodyne Clinical White”, the launch positions Sensodyne Clinical White as a science‑led whitening innovation rooted in oral health rather than a purely cosmetic quick fix. To bring this to life, the event featured a series of interactive “science‑meets‑beauty” sessions and experience stations that demonstrated the product’s dual‑action benefits. Highlights included live stain‑removal demonstrations using common Malaysian stain triggers such as coffee, as well as an immersive Discover Bar influencer activity illustrating how Sensodyne Clinical White whitens effectively while protecting enamel (outer layer of the tooth).
Addressing the Whitening Dilemma with Clinically Proven Protection and Visible Results
Whitening has become increasingly important for appearance, confidence, and social presentation. However, many whitening users remain unaware that certain whitening toothpaste and treatments may increase the likelihood of sensitivity or place added stress on the enamel, leading to discomfort or long‑term oral health concerns.
At the same time, individuals who already experience tooth sensitivity often find whitening intimidating, many fear that whitening products may worsen their condition, making them hesitant to pursue the brighter smile they desire. This creates a real tension in the category: sensitivity sufferers fear increasing discomfort, while whitening seekers may unknowingly put themselves at risk without understanding the long‑term impact.
This tension is particularly significant in Malaysia, where the Kantar Brand Health Study 2025 found sensitivity and whitening to be among the top oral‑care concerns. The study revealed that 58% of Malaysian adults experience tooth sensitivity, while nearly 39% report tooth yellowing. Notably, 44% of individuals who experience tooth sensitivity also report issues such as staining, yellowing or discolouration, highlighting how these concerns often coexist for many consumers.
Redefining Whitening: No Compromise with Sensodyne Clinical White
Sensodyne Clinical White addresses this gap with a dual-action formulation designed to whiten effectively while protecting enamel. When used twice daily, it delivers up to two shades of whiter teeth after 8 weeks, while providing 24/7 sensitivity protection. Also, it’s enamel safe. This offers a safe option for individuals seeking a brighter smile without compromising comfort.
Sensodyne Clinical White offers two specialised variants, each tailored to different whitening and sensitivity needs. For those who experience sensitivity and worry about stains from coffee, tea, or tobacco, Sensodyne Clinical White Stain Protector is the ideal solution. Compared to regular whitening toothpastes, it delivers seven times better stain removal with twice brushing daily, helping tackle everyday stain culprits with confidence.
For individuals who are planning a whitening treatment, Sensodyne Clinical White Enamel Strengthening is designed to provide added support. When used two weeks before, during, and after a whitening procedure, it helps enhance sensitivity protection throughout the whitening journey. Its enamel‑safe, low‑abrasive formulation means users can whiten with greater assurance, knowing their smile is protected every step of the way.
Celebrating the launch, Mr. Neelesh Suryavanshee, General Manager of Haleon Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei said, “At Haleon, our purpose is to deliver everyday health with humanity. Today marks an important moment for Sensodyne as we introduce a new way of thinking about whitening for sensitive teeth. For many consumers, whitening can feel like a difficult choice between achieving a brighter smile and maintaining everyday comfort. At the same time, some whitening users may not realise that certain treatments can increase the likelihood of sensitivity over time. Sensodyne Clinical White is designed to address this tension by delivering effective whitening together with 24/7 sensitivity protection, using low-abrasive, enamel-safe technology. It reflects our commitment to science-backed innovation that responds to real oral health needs, giving consumers confidence without compromise.”
Whitening May Increase the Risk of Tooth Sensitivity
Tooth sensitivity occurs when enamel (outer layer of the tooth) becomes eroded, exposing dentine and triggering pain from everyday stimuli such as hot or cold foods and drinks. Many whitening ingredients, including those in toothpaste can worsen this by relying on abrasive ingredients that accelerate enamel wear, often leading to increased sensitivity.
As whitening becomes more popular, dental professionals increasingly emphasise the importance of choosing low‑abrasive toothpaste. Today, whitening can be achieved through enamel-friendly formulations that gently lift and remove stains, helping to prevent new stains from building up. At the same time, minerals such as fluoride work to strengthen enamel, while ingredients like potassium nitrate help to relieve and protect against sensitivity. Together, these elements support a brighter smile while maintaining everyday comfort, highlighting that whitening should focus not only on visible results, but also on keeping teeth strong over time.
Dr Dylan Ong, Aesthetic Dentist, educated guests and KOLs during the event by sharing the risks of high-abrasive whitening, which can lead to sensitivity, and emphasised the importance of choosing gentle, enamel-safe whitening approaches to achieve a whiter smile safely and comfortably.
Speaking at the launch, Dr Dylan Ong, Aesthetic Dentist, highlighted that some whitening toothpastes can sometimes contribute to tooth sensitivity, particularly when enamel is eroded during the process.
“Many people assume sensitivity is something they simply have to live with, or that whitening will always make it worse,” shared Dr Dylan. “What we often see in practice is that certain whitening toothpaste or treatments may increase sensitivity, especially if they are too abrasive or used excessively which many may not realise. As sensitivity is closely linked to enamel health, when enamel is eroded, everyday triggers like hot or cold foods and drinks can cause discomfort, which may worsen over time if not properly managed. This is why it is important for individuals to be mindful of the whitening products they use and to choose approaches that support enamel protection while managing sensitivity,” he shares.
By combining proven stain removal with enamel-safe technology, Haleon sets a new benchmark for daily whitening, delivering confidence that lasts comfortably.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA, April 8, 2026 – Malaysia’s dance scene came alive and proved its place on the global stage as international legends landed in Kuala Lumpur for the first-ever Red Bull Dance Your Style Asia Tour stop in Malaysia. This landmark event brought world-champion energy to the country through a series of workshops and live showcases featuring guest dancers Majid, Waackxxxy, Poppin’ C, and The D Soraki, who fully immersed themselves in the local culture during their visit. The tour concluded by naming two Malaysian Wild Cards, who are now set to represent the nation at the Regional Finals in Singapore later this month.
Supported by Tourism Malaysia, the tour began with a deep dive into Malaysia’s heritage as the Red Dancers first visited the iconic Batu Caves, taking in the vibrant atmosphere of one of the nation’s most celebrated cultural landmarks.
Following this, Majid, Waackxxxy, Poppin’ C, and The D Soraki were joined by Rosnan bin Abdul Rahman, Deputy Director General (Policy & Planning) of the National Department for Culture and Arts, to learn the intricate movements and storytelling of traditional Mak Yong. This exchange bridged the gap between ancient performance arts and the modern language of the streets, highlighting a dance culture that is both unique and globally resonant.
2023 Red Bull Dance Your Style World Champion, Waackxxxy, added: “Learning the Mak Yong was one of the highlights of this tour. The movements were so beautiful. It gave me a new perspective on Malaysian culture.”
Following this immersion, Majid and Poppin’ C led intensive workshops to arm Malaysian dancers with the technical skills and insights needed for the global stage. This energy culminated in a high-octane showcase in Bukit Bintang, where the All-Stars and the local community joined forces to celebrate the vibrant future of Malaysian street dance.
“It is my first time in Malaysia, and I’ve been surprised by the level of skill here,” said Majid after the workshop. “There are some really solid dancers in this scene who have a lot of potential. My advice to the dancers here is to just stay consistent, be yourself, and keep that hunger.”
Also during their visit to Malaysia, the global dancers crowned Lim Yeow Hwee (Marcus), 26, from Johor Bahru, and Kayllash Thiagarajan, 19, from Kuala Lumpur, as the hometown heroes, who will go on to represent the country at the first-ever Red Bull Dance Your Style Regional Finals in Singapore this April 25. The duo will go up against the top dancers from Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Timor-Leste, Vietnam, and Singapore to secure their ticket to the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final in Zurich, Switzerland, this October.
“It feels like a huge honor to represent Malaysia at the first-ever Southeast Asia Regional Finals,” said Marcus. “I do feel some pressure because I’m representing the entire Malaysian dance scene, but I’m mostly excited to share my style. Our dance culture is special because of our mix of influences—there is so much individuality and passion here, and I really want the world to see that side of Malaysia.”

For Kayllash, this achievement marks a massive personal and professional milestone. “I feel honored and grateful for the opportunity. Since it’s my first time joining Red Bull Dance Your Style, this is a completely new experience for me,” he shared. “I think this shows that the Malaysian dance scene has come a long way and we are finally getting the recognition we deserve. For my preparation, I’m just staying true to myself and being as honest as possible through my dance.”
Beyond their personal victories, Marcus and Kayllash advancing to the Red Bull Dance Your Style Regional Finals is undeniable proof that Malaysia’s street dance community is ready to stand alongside the world’s best, bringing its own unique flavor and energy to the international spotlight.

Announcement made in conjunction with C-section Awareness Month as Danone deepens efforts in supporting C-section children through science-backed nutrition and education
KUALA LUMPUR, 11 April 2026 — Malaysian singer and actress Bella Astillah has been unveiled as the new brand ambassador for Aptamil™ KID, marking a partnership rooted in one thing she says matters most as a mother: confidence through science.
Best known for her music career and strong connection with young families, Bella shared how motherhood reshaped the way she makes decisions especially when it comes to nutrition.
“When it comes to my children, I don’t guess. I want to understand what I’m giving them and why,” said Bella Astillah. “I’m not a scientist, but I know how to ask questions. What convinced me about Aptamil™ KID C-SynB was the deep research behind it. When something is proven with real evidence, that gives me confidence as a parent.
Her appointment as the brand’s first-ever Malaysian ambassador was announced at the Aptamil™ KID Synbio+ Science Café, held at M Resort Hotel, Damansara, as part of C-Section Awareness Month initiative in the country.
A Modern Mum Making Informed Choices
Bella shared that becoming a parent made her more intentional, guided by a stronger sense of conviction in the brands she chooses to support. Bella further emphasised that understanding the why behind a product was key to her decision.
“Every parent wants the best for their children. For me, that means looking beyond trends and truly understanding the quality, science and ingredients behind products. When I learned about Synbio+ in Aptamil KID C-SynB and how it is clinically studied, that gave me assurance,” she mentioned.
The link between C-Section and the gut as well as the role of nutrition
New findings published in 2025 in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition (EJCN) show that a specific synbiotic blend combining the probiotic strain Bifidobacterium breve M-16V and prebiotics GOS/lcFOS (9:1) can help effectively improve gut balance in C-section born children at one year old and above.
Helping the audience digest this info at the event was Dr Nisa Khalil, Consultant Paediatrician, who explained, “Gut health forms the foundation of a child’s immunity. Around 70% to 80% of immune cells are actually located in the gut, which means how well the gut develops will influence how strongly a child’s body responds to infections. That’s why nurturing the gut in the right way is so important for building longterm immunity.”
Dr Nisa added, “Research also shows that children born via Csection may have lower levels of beneficial gut bacteria from one year old and above, and this imbalance can last for several years. It doesn’t mean they’re at a disadvantage, but it does mean they may need the right support to help build a balanced gut.”
Addressing common misconceptions, Dr. Nisa clarified, “Probiotics or prebiotics alone aren’t enough. What truly matters is the right pairing. When the right probiotic and prebiotic are combined, they create a synbiotic effect. By working together, in synergy, it supports gut balance more effectively. That’s why choosing the correct combination of probiotic and prebiotics is key.”
Why does this matter in Malaysia?
Bella’s appointment comes at a time when C-section rates account for approximately 26% of total births in Malaysia, exceeding the World Health Organization’s recommended range of 10–15%.
As the leading global nutrition company that prides itself in bringing health through food to as many as possible, Danone seeks to deepen its efforts in supporting children born via C-section with science-backed nutrition and education.
Supporting Parental Confidence
Koh Kok Meng, Country Manager of Danone Malaysia & Singapore, said the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to informed parenting.
“With social media and AI, like Bella, parents today are more connected and informed than ever. Through initiatives like C-Section Awareness Month, we want to help parents make sense of scientific concepts so they can make choices that best meet their children’s nutritional needs. In this case, it is understanding the impact of c-section on gut health and how it can compromise immunity and brain development.”
“Bella’s partnership could not have come at a better time. It is relevant given today’s context, and we truly appreciate Bella’s voice in helping us raise awareness on the power of nutrition for health.”
According to Danone, its Aptamil™ KID C-SynB is the first and only proven formula in Malaysia to feature this Synbio+ pairing, which combines selected probiotic and prebiotics that work synergistically to support gut health and immunity for children born via C-section.

A sugar-free effervescent formula combining fast hydration, Vitamin C and everyday wellness on the go.
Singapore, 9 April 2026 – In a world where days move quickly and schedules rarely slow down, staying hydrated goes beyond simply drinking more water. It is about supporting the body in ways that fit seamlessly into a busy life – whether during long hours at work, time spent commuting, or moments of movement throughout the day.
The new 100PLUS Effervescent Tablet introduces a convenient way to stay hydrated while supporting immune health. Formulated with five electrolytes and Vitamin C in a sugar-free tablet, it delivers 100PLUS’ trusted hydration expertise in a portable format that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. Simply drop a tablet into a glass of water and let it dissolve into a light, refreshing hydration drink.
Fast and Effective Hydration That Works
Hydration plays a vital role in supporting overall body function, from maintaining energy levels to supporting physical and mental performance. Dehydration can affect focus, stamina and overall well-being, particularly during long hours of work, commuting and daily activities. As an isotonic formulation, 100PLUS helps the body hydrate more effectively and stay hydrated longer than water.

The 100PLUS Effervescent Tablet is formulated with five electrolytes – Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium and Chloride – to help replenish fluids efficiently. Each serving delivers hydration support equivalent to a can of 100PLUS, without added sugar.

Whether navigating extended hours in air-conditioned and dry indoor environments, spending time outdoors in tropical heat and humidity, or commuting, exercising and recovering after a long day, the 100PLUS Effervescent Tablet provides a practical and fuss-free hydration solution for everyday moments.
Fast, Convenient Hydration with Added Immunity Support
Beyond hydration, each tablet is fortified with Vitamin C to support a healthy immune system function. By combining hydration and immune support into one convenient serving, the 100PLUS Effervescent Tablet offers a simple way to support daily balance – especially when consistency can make a difference.
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient known for its role in antioxidant protection and overall wellness. Incorporating it into a daily hydration routine provides a simple way to support the body during periods of physical exertion, travel, or demanding schedules.
Suitable for adults and teens, the recommended intake is one to two tablets per day, or as advised by a healthcare professional. The portable tablet format also makes it a convenient hydration solution when travelling, particularly during flights, where carrying water may not always be possible and staying properly hydrated can be challenging.
Designed for Modern and Fast-paced Lifestyles
Today’s routines often span multiple spaces – from home to office, from gym to airport lounge. The 100PLUS Effervescent Tablet is designed for convenience, offering hydration and immune support in a compact tablet format that fits easily into busy schedules.
The sugar-free formulation provides a lighter alternative for those mindful of their daily sugar intake, while still delivering effective hydration support.

Alongside a new collection of earrings, ear cuffs and rings launching exclusively at Boutiques, it will also bring its signature modular ear jackets, which are a reinterpretation of classic studs and are designed to be worn in multiple ways.
Making its first-ever physical debut is LIAÜ — the fashion label launched by erhu musician
Calista Liaw — a visual extension of the artist’s creative persona, launched alongside her
new album Escapism. She will bring with her a new bag design and several new
ready-to-wear pieces in Boutiques-exclusive colourways, along with signature pieces like the Iron Fairy Shoulder Bag and Queen Bee Shoulder Bag.
Singapore-born brand Goliath brings a different perspective to the mix, with its range of
high-performance outdoor apparel suitable for everyday use. Built on the idea of accessible and reliable gear, its latest drop — the Stormshield Ultralight, a Boutiques-exclusive launch — reflects its focus on design that is both thoughtful and functional.
Joining the line-up this season is SANJE, a Bali-based fashion label focusing on refined,
contemporary pieces that feel both premium and comfortable, even in warm climes. Pieces like its half-button shirt — part of the upcoming Spring/Summer 2026 collection, which will be launched exclusively at Boutiques — are designed to move effortlessly between casual and polished settings, with its focus on elevated tailoring and distinctive silhouettes.

From the Philippines comes Sonoma, which makes its Singapore debut with a preppy,
country club-inspired aesthetic reimagined through a more inclusive and accessible lens. In addition to its full second collection, which features a range of stylish rugby knits and golf, pickleball and swimming shirt-and-short sets, it will also exclusively debut its Summer Collection at Boutiques.
Homegrown multi-brand retailer Ariseo brings a series of exclusives from the cult-favourite Vietnamese label Bunnyhill Concept, which will be presenting its Seablade Collection in Singapore for the first time, while regional favourite ARUS makes its first-ever Singapore appearance with it its best-selling basics — such as tanks, T-shirts, pants and dresses — along with its new Contrast Two-tone Basics collection.

Alongside this exciting roster of new names, Boutiques also sees the return of a wide range of cult-favourite brands — many of which have built a loyal following in Singapore through Boutiques — now unveiling collections at the upcoming edition.
ANAABU presents a fresh take on its signature aesthetic through the new Essence Line,
which continues its signature blend of soft androgyny and heritage-inspired design, and will also showcase its recently-launched CNY and Eid collection, which focuses on
contemporary takes on classic heritage designs.
Local label WUHAUS also introduces new bag designs, including the sculptural Nala
Handbag, crafted from butter-soft lamb leather and finished with a hand-carved teak handle, a nod to its focus on timeless pieces designed to age with the wearer.

Of course, no outfit is complete without a finishing touch: Complementing the strong fashion line-up is a curated selection of jewellery and accessory brands that range from modular pieces to unique designs that feel both personal and expressive.
Newcomer Risque Roma brings a balance of accessibility and elegance, with designs
inspired by Italian craftsmanship. Its collections, named after Greek goddesses, feature intricately detailed rings, bracelets, and necklaces; look out for the new Circe ring, with a
gorgeous sky topaz at its core, and a new bracelet from the Persephone collection.
Also new is viral homegrown brand Sunnysde, whose glass flower pieces and playful
approach have won it a loyal following. Designed to be mixed and matched, each detachable charm can be styled across necklaces, earrings, bracelets and rings, allowing for multiple looks from a single piece. At Boutiques, it will debut its highly anticipated, one-of-a-kind glass rings.
Zare, another Boutiques newcomer, offers a narrative-driven perspective to its pieces,
drawing on its founder’s heritage that blends Italian elegance with Latin American vibrancy. Its bold collections reflect this cross-cultural influence, resulting in pieces like those from the Serenata Collection — expressive and refined.
Returning brands such as Singapore’s Hues and Indonesia’s Rumme continue to build on
their distinct identities with their new collections. Hues expands its range of gender-neutral, minimalist jewellery with new designs — including ear cuffs, bracelets, necklaces, and rings — that balance form and function, while Rumme presents a new collection of handcrafted pieces shaped by its designer’s architectural background; each piece is created without a fixed mould, resulting in unique forms that reflect a unique individuality.

For visitors looking to refine their living spaces, Boutiques has brought together a bevy of

A refreshed perspective on everyday beauty comes to Boutiques through a selection of
brands that put transparency, sustainability and intentional formulation at their core.
Zeromultiple introduces botanic skincare and natural makeup free from petrochemicals,
with Boutiques-exclusive lipstick shades and new launches designed with sensitive skin in
mind. Local refill-based skincare brand SUKOON presents a luxuriant, sensory experience
with its essential oil body wash, formulated with 17 botanical extracts for a rich, yet gentle, cleanse.
The Daily Press challenges conventional skincare with its fresh, small-batch formulations
which are delivered within 30 days of production; exclusive launches to look forward to
include its Arabica & Amande Body Oil, a naturally-derived body oil built on upcycled Coffee Arabica oil. Other highlights include Epilogue Fragrances, which seeks to present
fragrances as artistic and literary expressions rather than merely consumer products. Its first launch was the cheekily named Senator, I’m Singaporean Extrait de Parfum last December; at Boutiques, it will exclusively launch three new fragrances, including The City That Never Sleeps Extrait de Parfum, which brings with it notes of Kopi, Pepper, Tobacco and Leather — a nod to Singapore’s reputation as one of the most sleep-deprived nations in the world.
From left: Yellow Ribbon Project; ART:DIS Studio
In keeping with Boutiques Singapore’s commitment to giving back and championing
purpose-driven brands, the event continues to welcome socially conscious organisations to bring their causes to a wider audience.
Alongside returning partners such as ART:DIS Studio, which will showcase a DIY flower
bar, and Babes Pregnancy Crisis Support Ltd (Babes), a longtime partner that will exhibit
a selection of handmade items — this edition welcomes for the first time the Yellow Ribbon Project.
A key highlight of this edition, the Yellow Ribbon Project, is introduced with the support of
Senior Minister of State Sim Ann. Through its Visual Arts Hub programme, it presents a
series of ceramic cups exclusive to Boutiques – each handcrafted and individually glazed by inmates, accompanied by a personal note from the maker, offering a glimpse into their
stories while supporting rehabilitation efforts.
The Boutiques Showcase Grant: Nurturing Local Talents
Awarded each edition to emerging local talents, the Boutiques Showcase Grant reflects
Boutiques Singapore’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of creative voices.
Brands are awarded a combination of financial support, marketing guidance, and
mentorship, with the aim of fostering connections with fellow creatives and empowering them as they continue to grow and expand.
At this edition, Boutiques Singapore is proud to present the Grant to five new recipients —
Days of Ever, ERTH, Goliath, Balthazaar, and PIANG — as well as two returning
awardees, Wolfsloth and Aomorie.
From left: ERTH; Balthazaar
PIANG is a Singapore-based design studio pushing the boundaries of contemporary
woodworking through experimentation and speculative thinking. Blending traditional
materials with unconventional processes, it creates modular furniture systems that invite
interaction and personalisation.
ERTH is built on the belief that luxury and sustainability can and should co-exist. The studio champions the belief that true beauty lies in harmony with both the planet and the future, and works with ethically sourced materials to create timeless jewellery designed to endure.
Balthazaar creates bold, expressive works of art that explore emotions often left unspoken, from joy and love to resilience and renewal. Working in acrylic and mixed media, each collection is defined by vibrant colour and a strong emotional presence, resulting in pieces that are both deeply personal and powerful.
Focused on high-performance gear built to last, Goliath is a Singapore-born label shaped by its two founders, both avid outdoorspeople. Built for everyday adventurers, the brand
combines engineering, durable materials, and practical design, all while challenging the
notion that technical gear must come at a premium.
From left: Days of Ever; PIANG
Days of Ever approaches jewellery as an intimate extension of space and memory, while
drawing inspiration from art and sculptural forms. Founded by an experienced interior
designer, the label offers sculptural everyday pieces across earrings, rings, and necklaces
with a focus on form and tactility.
From left: Aomorie; Wolfsloth
Second-time Grant recipient Wolfsloth draws from folklore and mythology, reinterpreting
ancient symbols, patterns, and forms through a contemporary lens. Known for his distinctive visual language and statement-making pieces, founder Gabriel de Souza continues to evolve the brand with new collections and collaborative works, reinforcing distinctive visual language shaped by bold colour and intricate storytelling.
Aomorie — another second-time Grant recipient — returns to Boutiques Singapore with its
works inspired by textures found in everyday life. With a focus on innovation, the brand
experiments with unconventional materials such as its coffee leather jacket made from PU infused with coffee grounds, offering designs that prioritise substance and intention over
fleeting trends.
