Our Story
dedaun+co. was born in a special kind of place - a five-room bungalow in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, home to a small family of four. The house sat on a spacious green plot, surrounded by tall trees, gently rustling leaves, and a yard that welcomed morning light and birdsong each day. Squirrels danced along the branches and the air carried the calm only nature could offer - a peaceful rhythm that felt far removed from the city just beyond the gates.
​
In that serene leafy home the earliest seeds of dedaun+co. were planted. Quiet moments of self-care became rituals - blending natural oils, breathing in calming scents and creating products for emotional ease and inner balance.
​
The name “dedaun”, meaning “the leaves” in Malay, honours the trees that surrounded that home - a symbol of stillness , simplicity and nature's quiet power to ground and heal.
When the world came to a pause in 2020, during the height of the pandemic, those private rituals turned outward. dedaun+co’s first product was introduced commercially - created with care in small batches using natural ingredients - a gesture of calm and comfort during uncertain times.
The “+co” in our name represents more than "company". It stands for connection, community, and collaboration - because wellness isn't just about products. It's about the people we care for, the energy we keep, and space we create for reflection and rest.
Today, dedaun+co. continues to honour those beginnings - offering lifestyle wellness and artisanal self-care, made with intention, rooted in nature and created with the spirit of the leaves that started it all.
Note From the 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 - 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. What started as a personal practice soon 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.​​
with love,
Mizu
