Here’s an interesting story, a concerned father who has children suffering from allergic reaction tried his best to find a solution on how to protect his children from harmful chemicals contained in personal skin and hair care products. Prior to his chemical engineering background, he came out with a brilliant idea that may help all children who are suffering from allergy. This is a story of how Buds Organics was created by the mastermind Soo Kian Kheng, the Co-founder and R&D Director of I-Green (M) Sdn Bhd with the help from his sister, Soo Siew Peng, Managing Director of I-Green (M) Sdn Bhd back in 2003.
Buds Organics has a strong dedication towards protecting children from harmful chemicals that they would stop at nothing to reassure parents that their products were fully and truly organics. They are 100% committed to achieving the highest possible standard of quality, safety and earth-friendliness. What makes parents believing in Buds Organics, is their products are ECOCERT certified.

Made by parents for parents
