Riinse is honoured to be recognised as the winner of the Best Dishwash for Sensitive Skin category at the Malaysia Parents' Choice Awards 2026. The Parents' Choice Awards celebrates trusted brands and products that support the wellbeing of Malaysian families through quality, safety, and innovation. Riinse was recognised for its gentle yet effective formulation, which is dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic-certified, and free from harsh chemicals such as SLS, SLES, parabens, phthalates, and artificial colourants. Designed to be gentle on sensitive skin while delivering powerful cleaning performance, Riinse has become a trusted choice for families seeking a safer and more skin-friendly dishwashing solution for everyday use.

A dermatologically-tested dishwashing liquid has undergone testing under the supervision or review of dermatology professionals to assess how the product interacts with the skin. This testing evaluates whether the formulation is well-tolerated during normal use and helps identify any potential for irritation, dryness, or adverse skin reactions. When a product is labelled dermatologically tested, it means the finished formulation has been assessed and determined to be safe for its intended use. A hypoallergenic-safe dishwashing liquid is specifically formulated to minimise the likelihood of triggering allergic reactions or skin sensitivities. While no product can guarantee zero risk of allergies, hypoallergenic certification indicates that the formulation has been carefully designed and evaluated to reduce the presence of ingredients commonly associated with irritation. For Riinse, these certifications reinforce its commitment to creating a dishwashing liquid that is gentle on sensitive skin while still delivering effective cleaning performance. Through clinical testing and expert review, Riinse has been assessed to ensure it is safe for everyday use, providing consumers with greater confidence in the product's skin compatibility. Why Is This Certification Important? While dermatological and hypoallergenic certifications are commonly associated with skincare products, they are equally important for dishwashing liquids due to the frequency and duration of skin exposure during use. When washing dishes by hand, consumers often have prolonged and repeated contact with cleaning products. In many cases, hands are exposed to dishwashing liquid for longer periods than they are to facial cleansers or hand washes throughout the day. Repeated exposure to harsh detergents can contribute to skin dryness, irritation, and discomfort, particularly for individuals with sensitive skin. As a result, choosing a dermatologically-tested dishwashing liquid can help reduce concerns about skin irritation while providing a more comfortable washing experience. Combined with its hypoallergenic certification, Riinse offers consumers a cleaning solution that supports both household hygiene and skin well-being, making it a trusted choice for families seeking a gentle on sensitive skin and hypoallergenic-safe dishwashing liquid for everyday use.

When consumers think about HALAL certification, food products are often the first thing that come to mind. However, HALAL certification extends far beyond what we eat. Everyday household products, including dishwashing liquids, also undergo rigorous assessment to ensure they meet strict standards for ingredient sourcing, manufacturing processes, cleanliness, and quality control. For brands like Riinse Malaysia, being HALAL-certified by JAKIM reflects more than religious compliance. It demonstrates a commitment to transparency, responsible manufacturing, and consumer confidence. HALAL certification also promotes ethical business practices by requiring manufacturers to maintain accurate documentation, provide truthful product information, and follow approved production procedures. These requirements help ensure that products are manufactured responsibly and consistently, while reinforcing trust between brands and consumers. One of the key benefits of HALAL certification is the prevention of cross-contamination throughout the manufacturing process. Certified manufacturers must ensure that products are protected from contact with non-compliant substances during sourcing, storage, production, packaging, and transportation. These controls help maintain the integrity of the final product and ensure that consumers receive products that meet established standards. HALAL certification also places strong emphasis on ingredient verification. While many people assume dishwashing liquids contain only simple cleaning agents, modern formulations often include surfactants, fragrances, preservatives, and other functional ingredients sourced from various suppliers around the world. Through the certification process, every ingredient must be carefully reviewed and verified to ensure compliance with HALAL requirements. This provides an additional layer of assurance for consumers who value transparency in the products they use every day. Beyond ingredients, HALAL certification requires manufacturers to implement robust quality management and traceability systems. Certified facilities must maintain detailed documentation that allows products to be traced throughout the supply chain, from raw material sourcing to finished product distribution. This level of accountability helps manufacturers identify issues quickly, maintain consistency across batches, and continuously improve their production processes. Cleanliness is another fundamental principle embedded within HALAL standards. Certified manufacturers are required to maintain hygienic production environments, follow strict sanitation procedures, and conduct regular monitoring to ensure compliance. These requirements contribute not only to HALAL compliance but also to overall product quality and manufacturing excellence. At Riinse Malaysia, JAKIM HALAL certification supports the brand's commitment to producing dishwashing liquids that meet high standards of quality, safety, and reliability. Consumers can have greater confidence knowing that the products they use in their homes are manufactured under carefully controlled conditions with verified ingredients and documented quality assurance processes. An important aspect of HALAL certification is that it is independently verified. Unlike self-declared claims, certification involves assessments and audits conducted by recognised certification bodies such as JAKIM. These evaluations help ensure that manufacturers continue to meet established standards and maintain compliance over time. The value of HALAL certification extends beyond Muslim consumers. Many consumers today seek products that are produced with strong governance, transparency, and quality controls. HALAL certification serves as an additional indicator that a product has undergone comprehensive review and is supported by systems that prioritise hygiene, traceability, and responsible manufacturing practices. Perhaps most importantly, HALAL certification is not a one-time achievement. Certified manufacturers must continuously monitor their operations, maintain documentation, train employees, review suppliers, and undergo periodic audits. This ongoing commitment encourages continuous improvement and helps ensure that standards are consistently upheld. For Riinse Malaysia, JAKIM HALAL certification represents more than a certification mark on a label. It reflects the brand's dedication to ingredient transparency, cleanliness, quality assurance, and responsible manufacturing practices. As consumers become increasingly conscious of the products they bring into their homes, certifications such as these provide added confidence that the products they choose are produced with care, integrity, and accountability.

Riinse is a Malaysian cleaning brand co-founded by Phoebe and Sharmaine, both former consultants turned entrepreneurs. The inspiration for Riinse stemmed from Phoebe's desire to create a dishwashing liquid that was effective yet gentle on the skin, addressing her mother's concerns about existing products. After taking a formulation course, Phoebe developed a homemade solution, which she and Sharmaine later scaled into a marketable product.

Riinse is now available in all Jaya Grocer outlets nationwide, marking a significant step in bringing plant-powered cleaning solutions to more homes across Malaysia.

If you use natural cleaning and personal care products, you have probably come across Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) in your label reading. What is it exactly? And is it safe? What is Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB)?  It is a surfactant* and foaming agent used in plant-based cleaning and personal care products. Cocamidopropyl Betaine may be synthetic or plant-derived, with either form considered safe to use in daily products. The plant-derived version means it is naturally derived fatty acid from coconut oil. We use it in SuperRiinse 3-in-1 Dishwashing Liquid as a main cleaning agent.  What is a surfactant? Surfactants are molecules that reduce the surface tension of water, which helps it spread out more uniformly. In cleaning products, surfactants help the cleaner spread out and get underneath dirt, food particles etc. They are used in every type of cleaner.  Back to Cocamidopropyl Betaine.  We chose it because it is one of the most gentle cleaning agents available. CAPB offers gentle yet effective cleansing, luxurious foam, and thickening properties, making it an amazing addition to household cleaning and personal care products. It is also:  100% Biodegradable Mild, Gentle and Non-Drying (making it ideal for even the most sensitive skin) Works great as a fruit and veggie wash  Safe for babies and pets (a.k.a. safe for all!)  Before we started Riinse and started learning about formulations, we had no idea how difficult it is to find a surfactant that meets these criterias and actually works as well as the harsh ones. After much searching, formulating and many many more reformulating, we are so happy with the results of using Cocamidopropyl Betaine in SuperRiinse. We hope you love it too.  Always here for you, during your hardest chores.  Love, Riinse.

In today's world, everyone cares more about what they bring into their homes, especially when it comes to household cleaning products. It is definitely a good thing! However, most people are still not aware of the potential risks in common ingredients like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) found EVERYWHERE.   The Downside of SLS and SLES: These widely used ingredients are known for their foaming and cleansing properties. However, they can also strip away natural oils from our skin and scalp –leading to irritation, dryness, and potential long-term damage. Health Concerns: Studies have linked SLS and SLES to skin and eye irritation, and even hormone disruption in extreme cases. Exposure to these chemicals through daily use of everyday products can contribute to a range of health issues, especially those of you with sensitive skin or allergies. Environmental Impact: Beyond personal health risks, SLS and SLES pose environmental concerns as well. These chemicals can persist in the environment, harming aquatic life and ecosystems.    The crazy thing is that SLS and SLES are found in a lot of products we use beyond just cleaning solutions. Common products that may contain these ingredients include: Shampoo and conditioner Body wash and soap Toothpaste Facial cleansers and exfoliants   So next time you are in the supermarket or online shopping, remember to look out for these ingredients before you hit “check out”. Stay safe everyone!   Always here for you, during your hardest chores.  Love, Riinse.
