April 15, 2026April 15, 2026 editor News, Science & Technology MK International Marketing

ASEAN Records is proud to officially recognise MK International Marketing for achieving the milestone:

First Proprietary Quantum Molecular Technology Functional Spray Series with Verified Molecular Structure and Elemental Composition Changes (5 Body Zone Variants; ICP-MS, NMR and LC-MS Analytically Verified)

This recognition marks a significant advancement in technology-driven wellness and personal care, highlighting a pioneering approach that integrates molecular science with functional application across multiple body zones.

A First-of-Its-Kind Innovation in Cellular Nutrition Technology

This achievement recognises the development and commercial introduction of a proprietary functional spray series powered by Quantum Molecular Technology, designed to support cellular-level wellness through a structured, water-based system.

The certification confirms that the products demonstrate analytically verified molecular structure and elemental composition changes, validated through advanced testing methods including ICP-MS, NMR, and LC-MS.

This positions MK International Marketing as the first organisation in ASEAN to successfully integrate such scientific validation into a complete functional spray ecosystem.

A Complete 5-Zone Functional Spray Ecosystem

The certified series comprises five specialised formulations, each designed for targeted body applications.

Each product is developed as a function-specific water-based solution, where the application differs by body zone—ranging from facial care and eye care to hygiene, general wellness, and scalp health—demonstrating a structured and purposeful approach to everyday personal care.

MK8 — Rejuvenating Spray
Supports overall body wellness and metabolic balance through cellular-level nutrient support.

MK10 — Hygiene Spray
Designed to enhance hygiene and support intimate wellness.

MK13 — Facial Spray
Targets common skin concerns such as dryness, sensitivity, and signs of ageing by supporting hydration and skin condition.

MK20 — Eye Care Spray
Supports eye comfort, circulation, and recovery from digital fatigue and environmental stress.

MK33 — Hair & Scalp Rejuvenating Spray
Focuses on scalp health and hair condition, supporting overall hair management.

Together, these five variants form a comprehensive cellular nutrition ecosystem, reflecting a holistic approach to body care through targeted application.

The Technology Behind the Record

At the core of this innovation is Quantum Molecular Technology, a platform based on principles of quantum mechanics and molecular dynamics.

Unlike conventional products that rely on added chemical ingredients, this technology focuses on enhancing the functional properties of water itself. Through a specialised process, water molecule clusters are reduced into smaller units, allowing for improved absorption at the cellular level.

This enables the delivery of naturally occurring trace elements within water, which play a role in supporting normal cellular function. By improving how these elements are absorbed, the technology aims to support hydration, balance, and overall cell condition more effectively than untreated water.

In simple terms, while regular water primarily serves a cleansing function, this approach introduces functional behaviour to water, allowing it to interact more efficiently with the skin and body.

The entire spray series is developed using a 100% water-based formulation, without chemical additives, preservatives, fragrances, or conventional cosmetic base ingredients, aligning with the brand’s vision of advancing towards a more technology-driven, chemical-free approach to personal care.

The name “MK” represents Molecular Key—symbolising the concept of unlocking cellular nutrition through advanced scientific methods.

A Milestone Moment of Recognition

The ASEAN Records certificate was officially presented on 14 April 2026.

The recognition was received by Winston Yoo, Founder of MK International Marketing, and Dr. Chan Tse Yen, PhD, Director of the MK R&D Team, in acknowledgement of their leadership in advancing innovation at the intersection of science, technology, and wellness.

Voices of Leadership

Reflecting on the recognition and its broader significance, as shared by Winston Yoo, Founder of MK International Marketing:

“This recognition is a meaningful milestone for us, not just as an achievement, but as a validation of the direction we believe the industry is heading.

For a long time, health and beauty products have relied heavily on chemical-based formulations. What we are working towards is a shift beyond that—where technology itself becomes the core driver of results. Through Quantum Molecular Technology, we are exploring how something as fundamental as water can be enhanced to deliver functional benefits in a more natural and efficient way.

This recognition strengthens our commitment to continue developing technology-driven solutions that are simpler, safer, and more accessible, while creating long-term impact in how people approach health and personal care.”

Driving a New Direction in Wellness and Personal Care

This milestone reflects a broader shift towards technology-driven, system-based approaches in health, beauty, and personal care.

By focusing on how core elements such as water can be enhanced through scientific innovation, MK International Marketing’s achievement demonstrates a new direction for the industry—where functionality, simplicity, and technology converge to create more efficient and targeted solutions.

Advancing Secure and Sustainable Digital Infrastructure

Cyberjaya Data Centre 2 (DC2) represents the next generation of secure, sovereign and environmentally responsible data centre infrastructure in Malaysia and the ASEAN region. Purpose-built for mission-critical operations, the facility is designed to meet the stringent requirements of financial institutions, enterprises and digital platforms that require the highest levels of reliability, resilience and data protection.

Developed and operated by Basis Bay, a pioneer in sustainable cloud and eco-green data centre innovation, DC2 demonstrates how digital infrastructure can combine performance, operational resilience and environmental responsibility.

The facility is engineered to meet ANSI/TIA-942 Rated-4 standards, the highest level of data centre classification, ensuring fault-tolerant operations and concurrent maintainability with no single point of failure. Its infrastructure incorporates 2N redundancy systems and resilient design architecture, allowing uninterrupted data availability for mission-critical digital environments.

Strategically located in Cyberjaya, within Malaysia’s Multimedia Super Corridor, the facility offers robust connectivity and secure infrastructure while supporting national data sovereignty objectives. The data centre is Malaysian-led, operated and controlled, ensuring that sensitive information remains securely governed within local jurisdiction.

Eco-Green Innovation Built for the Future

Cyberjaya DC2 is also designed as an Eco-Green Premium Data Centre, integrating sustainability principles directly into its architecture and operations. The facility incorporates multiple environmental systems and sustainable design elements, including renewable energy initiatives, rainwater harvesting systems, green facades and biodiversity-preserving landscaping.

Designed by internationally recognised eco-architect Dr. Ken Yeang, the facility demonstrates how world-class digital infrastructure can coexist with environmental stewardship, supporting global ESG goals while maintaining enterprise-grade performance.

The data centre also features a wide range of advanced infrastructure capabilities, including 5MVA power capacity with dual-source power, 2N redundancy backup systems with minimum 48-hour generator support, controlled temperature and humidity environments, advanced fire protection systems using water mist and inert gas technologies, and multi-layered physical security architecture with biometric access and real-time surveillance.

Through these integrated systems, DC2 provides a future-ready digital infrastructure platform capable of supporting the growing demands of cloud computing, enterprise IT operations and mission-critical digital services across ASEAN.
