A Note from Our Founder
Hello, I’m Mizu - a wife, mother of two wonderful boys, and a practicing lawyer. I understand how easily life can fill with noise - the pace, the pressure, the endless demands of work and family. Like many, I’ve had to learn (and relearn) how to create space for calm, even in the busiest seasons.
My journey into natural wellness began in a place that quietly transformed me - Edinburgh, where I lived for seven years. Mysterious and beautiful, the city felt like a world apart: cobblestone streets veiled in morning mist, ancient stone buildings holding centuries of stories, and a soft hush that seemed to slow time itself. The rhythm of life there was gentler, and in that stillness, I began to rediscover myself.
During those years, I also travelled to several parts of Europe, wandering through towns and cities where artisanal apothecaries were part of everyday life. These small, often family-run spaces were filled with the scent of herbs, oils, and handmade remedies. They honoured nature’s healing power with quiet intention and deep respect and their presence left a lasting impression on me. There was something deeply inspiring in the way they blended beauty, simplicity, and purpose.
Back in Edinburgh, that inspiration lingered. Tucked among its winding streets, I found my own small refuge in a local apothecary-style shop. Their botanical offerings were carefully curated and deeply grounded in natural wellness - sparked something in me. I began blending my own essential oils at home, experimenting with scent and ritual as a way to find calm. It was a personal practice that became a form of emotional grounding - a quiet moment of stillness in a fast-moving world.
What began as a quiet personal practice in a faraway city slowly blossomed into something more. Years later, back in Kuala Lumpur, that same love for natural scent, stillness, and natural ease became dedaun+co. - a brand born from intention and created to support others in finding their own moments of peace.
Working closely with trusted global suppliers, I continue to craft each product with care, in small batches, with natural ingredients, and with the same spirit that first moved me all those years ago in Edinburgh.
dedaun+co. is more than a business. It’s a reflection of my journey - from the misty calm of a distant city to the leafy quiet of home - and a way to share the grounding comfort that scent and ritual can bring.
