Nami Natural, a UK-formulated nail polish brand that launched in the Philippines last December 2021, is making its mark in the PH nail polish industry: elevating innovative and sustainable practices.
Nami Natural pioneers 18-free, water-based nail polish in the Philippines, highly committed to making nail polish health-friendly and planet-friendly to millions of Filipinos. It has eliminated 18 toxic ingredients commonly found in traditional nail polish and developed alternatives that nourish the skin and nails. The nail polish brand also looks after eco-friendly, vegan, cruelty-free, and sustainably sourced product offerings.
Last year, Nami Natural formed a partnership with Kasuso Foundation/Philippine Foundation for Breast Care Inc. (PFBCI), a non-profit, volunteer-based organization focused on indigent breast cancer patients. The nail polish brand seeks to reach the community of breast cancer patients who struggle with the absence of control over their bodies to foster a culture of inclusivity and promote self-esteem. Through the partnership, Nami will be able to support PFBCI’s advocacy for women empowerment by regularly donating a portion of its sales to the foundation, sharing PFBCI’s mission to raise awareness, escalate progress, and one day find a cure to a disease that has affected the lives of millions of women in the past years.
Susan Lim and Flery Jimenez of Kasuso Foundation.
“We couldn’t be happier and we’re extremely grateful to be partners with Nami. Every day, indigent Filipino women receive a diagnosis that alters their life completely and we need more and more support in helping them get treatment. Nami was so generous to provide us with a steady source of funds to further our missions.”, a representative from PFBCI shared.
Last January, Nami Natural also received the highest global certification from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the world’s largest organization for animal rights with over 9 million members and supporters.
As an official member of PETA’s Global Beauty Without Bunnies Program, Nami’s vegan & animal cruelty-free certification verifies that Nami products do not conduct or commission any animal tests on ingredients, formulations, or develop any other finished products that may harm animals in the future.
“Our team has always been serious advocates of sustainability. We wish to bring significant changes and transform the beauty industry to offer consumers new yet conscious products, especially within the Filipino market. Becoming partners with PFBCI and earning a PETA Certification means a lot to us, given the early stage of our business growth. Most importantly, I’m sure it also means a lot and provides a positive impact to many individuals and the future generations,” said Philipp Rener, Nami Natual’s CEO.
True to its brand catchphrase, where quality and style meet nature, Nami is immensely passionate about making consumers look and feel beautiful inside out while being consistent and inventive in its approach to sustainability.

Lyger Coffee officially launches as the first-ever crystallized coffee in the market. Putting their first two flavors – Americano and Latte – front and centre, Lyger Coffee aims to enhance Filipinos’ coffee-making experience by emphasizing convenience and high-quality brewed coffee taste that they have come to love.
Lyger Coffee’s 100% Arabica coffee beans are sourced from the mountain ranges of Colombia to keep the highest levels of transparency when it comes to cultivation, production, and distribution. The beans then go through an innovative process of freeze-drying where the crystallization takes place. This method brings out the best in the coffee beans: clear-cut flavors and aromas at a much higher level than regular dried coffee.
“Whether a young professional is short on time or needs a single serving cup of coffee, turning on the coffee machine or rushing to buy from the nearby cafés won’t be necessary with Lyger Coffee. We strive for perfection in sustainability, convenience, and design and first brought it to the Philippines as we know that the market is also very passionate about coffee while being open to doing things differently,” said Nathan Hornstein, Lyger Coffee’s Chief Marketing Officer.
Lyger’s crystallized coffee stands out due to its promise of a hassle-free way of preparation – convenience at a fingertip. It is packed in cute and sustainable mini-cups, making it easy to bring to the office or any outdoor adventure. With just a few stirs, anyone can create their favorite coffee mix: the simplest way is to just mix it with hot or cold water. If there is a desire for something fancier, it can easily be upgraded from a simple Americano or Latte to something incredibly unique based on each customer’s preference e.g., by adding different types of milk or syrups.
Lyger Coffee seeks not only to be known as a caffeinated concoction that compels Filipinos to wake up every morning; it also sees itself as a conversation starter, a relationship mender, and a brand that brings communities together. You can easily get your hands on Lyger Coffee with a special launch promo – 3 boxes for the price of 1 (a total of 36 mini-cups) using the code TRIPLE at https://bit.ly/LygerCoffeeLaunch. With Lyger Coffee, you’ll never be without great coffee ever again!

Healthier, safer, and more fun! These are the buzzwords that describe one of the best e-cigarette devices on the market: KMOSE, where you can have fun ‘til the last puff!
KMOSE is a brand committed to creating electronic cigarette products that are safer and healthier, to help global smokers begin the changing of their smoking habits. From the brand name itself, the transformation of SMOKE to KMOSE shows the beginning of change.
KMOSE founder Jack Huang became curious about e-cigarettes when he and his co-founder were studying in the UK. At the time, Jack found e-cigarettes to be strange. His curiosity led him to try understanding e-cigarettes, and how it pulls people out of using tobacco and fall in love with it. This was the beginning of the KMOSE journey.
They worked hand-in-hand with e-cigarette users and researchers, conducting market research, analysis, and learning more about e-cigarette products. As Jack learned more about e-cigarettes, he saw more and more reasons why e-cigarettes are an amazing innovation. Growing more passionate about it, he returned to China and created his e-cigarette brand and product for global adult smokers.
Jack’s vision led KMOSE to develop high-end e-cigarette products that offer a fun smoking experience. The brand offers a unique variety of flavors: green bean sorbet, original tobacco, juicy grape, double ice blast, Hawaiian pineapple, ice oolong tea, watermelon sherbet, bubble cola, and passionfruit breeze. These flavors are unique to KMOSE’s products, something that you will never find in other brands.
Their device also comes in a variety of colors: black, silver, green, lilac, mint, and yellow. Beyond the aesthetics, they take the experience to the next level with their ingenious product design. Their leading concept of giving high-quality and good experience led them to research and develop products with new technological impetus. From the product’s raw materials and to its model design, they follow the highest standards in the industry, putting the user’s experience at the heart of the brand.
Their e-liquids have been made by experts with relevant experimental data to give users a reliable e-liquid quality that is safe and enjoyable. Their product has a high-end design concept that makes other brands pale in comparison. Their device is life-proof, highly durable, and can keep up with the user’s fun and energetic lifestyle. It also has an “oil core separation” technology, which gives a more efficient sealing and protection of the e-liquid. This reduces leakages, a common problem in other brands.
Best of all, you get to have fun ‘til the last puff! Unlike other brands, KMOSE doesn’t leave a bad taste at the end of the pod’s life so you can have your money’s worth.
Fun, safe, and healthy. What more can you ask for? Their desire and dedication to providing the best products for e-cigarette users truly make this brand outstanding. So, take your smoking experience to the next level with KMOSE!

For many of us Filipinos, food is the love language that shapes our relationships. It’s a powerful way of creating a connection and expressing love. Amusingly, it’s become a habit in many Filipino homes to always have something sweet on the table. Regardless of the dessert or pastry, we do it for the purpose of coming together in celebration and gratitude of our relationships with each other. It’s beautifully tatak Pinoy.
With the rising cases of diabetes in the country, however, some of our loved ones might feel excluded when we pull out that box of cake or tray of cookies. It’s a good thing that Filipinos are madiskarte because with the Swiftlet Natural Sugar Replacement, we can now bake (and share!) all the diabetic and keto-friendly desserts that we want.
Swiftlet makes it possible for us to express our love in a very health-inclusive way. The blend, the first of its kind here in the Philippines, is made of natural ingredients that provide alternative solutions for those who want to enjoy eating sweet treats without compromising their health.
The brand’s natural sugar replacement performs well in oven-baked pastries, hot beverages, cold beverages, and more. So the next time we want to comfort a friend or celebrate a family member’s achievement through something homemade, we can make the mindful switch from refined sugar to Swiftlet. Although the two look and taste the same, the latter has zero calories and zero glycemic index. This means that, in terms of diabetes management, Swiftlet will not increase human blood glucose levels or create an insulin response— even if diabetics reach for that extra slice of pie or second piece of cake!
After all, having diabetes doesn’t mean our loved ones have to completely swear off desserts. Speaking the language of home-baked treats, we can still express how valued and appreciated they are. When we’re wise about our choices, we can show the people in our lives a little more sweetness. Let Swiftlet help with that.

The country’s oldest distillery announces its latest addition to its essential product line after it launched Consumer Protect 70% Ethyl Alcohol anti bacterial sanitizer at the start of the COVID-19 ECQ late March last year.
Si Antibacterial Liquid Hand Soap (Calamansi and Dalandan variants) is made with the by-product of the country’s premium Philippine craft spirits Manille liqueur de Calamanis and Dalandan.
The production process of Manille Liqueur advocates sustainable manufacturing and upcycling initiatives. As part of the company’s thrust to help preserve the environment and reduce its carbon footprint, we developed a line of anti-bacterial hand soap using the by-products from the production of Manille Liqueur de Calamansi and Manille Liqueur de Dalandan.
The calamansi and dalandan rinds, seeds, juice, and the mesocarp/endocarp of the fruits are ground into a citrus “mud”, as we call it, and transformed into a natural by-product. This Calamansi & Dalandan mud is used as the essential active ingredients to create “Si Anti-Bacterial Liquid Hand Soap” with Natural Calamansi (Philippine Lemon) and Dalandan (Philippine Orange).
Since Manille Liqueur de Calamansi was launched by Destileria Limtuaco & Co., Inc. in 2014, the brand has always championed the Philippines. From the unique zesty freshness of calamansi and dalandan in vodka base, to the packaging concept with Filipino design elements of floral embroidery and callado design that you would find in a barong Tagalog, Manille Liqueur boasts a distinct taste, look and feel that matches the brand’s identity of the best Filipino experience in a bottle.
The story behind each bottle makes it more special, considering the corporate passion for local produce and farming communities. The company supports local farmers by paying them the market price of Calamansi and Dalandan. By cutting out the traders, the farmers get 100% of the profits from dealing with the company. “It’s sort of a CSR effort for our company. This increases every farmer’s margin a great deal,” says Olivia Limpe-Aw.
The natural active ingredients from the calamansi and dalandan by-product have whitening and antiseptic properties while the fruit pulp exfoliates dead skin, removes dirt and lightens the dark spots & other impurities.
Si Anti-Bacterial Liquid Hand Soapis available online through the Destileria Limtuaco & Co., Inc.’s e-store at www.liquorexpress.ph and Shopee(https://shopee.ph/Si-Anti-Bacterial-Liquid-Hand-Soap-Natural-Calamansi-500ml-i.463571842.12417492572).

Mabel Amante-Villena and her husband, Papillon Villena – the Villena’s aspiring business entrepreneurs are first and foremost dutiful parents who strive to always nurture their son in the safest space possible.
Accustomed to a standard level of cleanliness, they became aware, while visiting their home in the Philippines, of the need to create a service lacking in Batangas. The incident happened when Mabel’s husband had an allergic reaction to dust and pollen in the surroundings. Concerned for her family, she suddenly realized that a cleaning service was needed which could provide the people with professional quality cleaning.
Thus, they created a service like no other before-one that fully gives importance to kid and pet safety and those with sensitivities and allergies all while being completely environment-friendly. They then discovered a plant-based cleaning solution that is made from neem, which is known for its antimicrobial, antiparasitic, and anti-viral benefits.
Their vision was materialized as what we now know as Cleen and Green, the eco-friendly cleaning service, and which we also love today. Cleen and Green has impressed everyone with their advanced use of plant-based, non-toxic, non-chemical cleaning solutions, modern cleaning technology and very efficient cleaners that can manage from the ceiling, wall to the floor. They are also known for doing high ceiling cleaning because of their professional cleaners with complete cleaning tools including scaffoldings and high ladders.
Cleen and Green cleaning solutions
Cleen and Green has brought great development to the community since its inception and has inspired all with their mission towards greatness. This company has now become a force of nature in the industry pushing beyond expectations and advancing to new territories.
Starting out with their home with only three cleaners, now they have grown to a good number of cleaners currently assigned to four different locations (Lipa, Cavite, Laguna, and Quezon City) in a span of just one year. Their advancement is clear, as well as their innovative franchise model, actively partnering with overseas Filipinos. By the looks of it, success is much bigger for C&G in the near future.
