The managing director of Bacoff (M) Sdn Bhd, Mr Gabriel Ravindran, is the person whom I approached last year, to ask if we could use their products for fundraising and Gabriel has been very supportive every since.
Here’s Gabriel in the press:
We thank Gabriel and Bacoff (M) Sdn Bhd very much for supporting our work!
Excerpts from the article:
“When it started in Australia, it was simple because Aussies love the environment. Anything ‘green’ sells,” he says.However, when Bacoff started to introduce its product line in Malaysia in 2012, its marketing strategy had to change, as Malaysians did not take environmental friendly products as seriously as Australians.
“We had to brand our products as natural, organic and safe, especially for children. We promoted the safety aspect of our products,” he says.
Bacoff has claimed the title of being the first ever 100% all natural and organic cleaning range in Malaysia. Its products are made from fruit and vegetable extracts and bioflavanoids. These ingredients are already classified and found in foods that people eat everyday.
“Currently, cleaning product ranges in the market here – there are a lot of chemicals used. What we set out to do is to create a range that performs equally or better than what the chemical products are offering,” Ravindran says.
Bacoff’s biggest challenge is still educating the market.
“The green and natural wave in Malaysia is not yet mature. We see it in more developed countries. We haven’t seen the shift yet in Asia. Currently, the biggest obstacle is the education process,” he says.
Ravindran adds that he sees the Malaysian mindset on green products maturing in the next three to five years.
And if the article has inspired you to go green or greener, we have the following (below) where all proceeds will go to our Fund for the animals. And, we are really looking forward to Verdiluxe’s mosquito repellent. Gabriel was just telling me about it the last time we met. Plus, their range of personal care products too.
If you prefer the smaller bottles, Bacoff products are available in selected supermarkets. But if you like the commercial range (more economical too), we have these below:
The Sanitising Deodoriser, the All-Purpose Surface Cleaner and the Amenities Cleaner. 
The So Green Handwash, which I personally use as a no-frills facial and body wash and works as a shampoo too! For those who like more refined personal care products, Bacoff is coming out really soon with its personal care range, named Verdiluxe. These will be available in supermarkets.
All Bacoff products are 100% natural, organic and food grade safe.
Bacoff (M) also markets the Protectus 247, which is from the UK. This is an amazing disinfectant and for pet caregivers, you would be pleased to know that it can destroy 70 pathogens (with lab tests and reports to back up) and this includes the parvovirus, the norovirus, the distemper virus and it can also destroy the HIV and Ebola pathogens. The Protectus 247 is 80% natural but is food grade safe.
“Food grade safe” is already very, very safe.
It is good to remind ourselves that when we consume toxins that are present in foods, such as chemicals in processed foods, the enzymes in our saliva and stomach have the ability to break some of them down. Food also passes through our liver and kidneys. Some toxins can be flushed out and those which which make it through may be detoxified to varying degrees by enzymes before they reach the remainder of our body. However, when toxins are absorbed through our skin, they bypass our liver and enter our bloodstream and tissues directly – with no protection.
Hence, it pays to be prudent in selecting the products that we touch or apply on our skin directly.
