Childbirth is a harrowing experience. New mums need all the rest, pampering and self-care in order to fully recover, both physically and mentally. That’s why postnatal care is such an integral part of the confinement experience. Mums need to feel like they’re at a tropical retreat where they can heal and relax.
In this year’s Motherhood Choice Awards, the Best Postnatal Care Set category goes to none other than Tanamera! This marks their second win in the Motherhood Choice Awards.
With their all-natural formulation and exquisite quality, it’s no wonder how Tanamera has earned the top spot in the Motherhood Choice Awards 2022.
Winners of this prestigious distinction are dubbed the best brands in their category—as voted by mums, for mums. Each brand is judged based on 6 criteria: Trustworthiness, Quality, Value, Understanding of Customer Needs, Innovation, and Social Responsibility. These are the pillars of excellence that ensure only the best of the best are qualified for any award.
We interviewed the innovators of this brand to learn more about their products.
Traditional Formulation for Holistic Healing
Tanamera means ‘red earth’ in the Malay language; a fitting name for their range of products. This is as their products are carefully made from raw materials sourced from rich and luscious tropical rainforests.
Tanamera’s logo also personifies everything they represent—natural remedies, eco-friendly products and packaging, traditional Asian treatments, and the healing power of tropical herbs and essences.
One of their star products, and one that has earned them the coveted spot in the Motherhood Choice Awards, is their Postnatal Care Set.
You’ll find all the self-care essentials a new mum would need post-delivery, formulated according to traditional Malay after birth therapies. Therapies which have helped new mothers cope with the stress after delivery for hundreds of years.

Clean, All-Natural, Locally-Sourced Skincare
Established in 1995 by three siblings, Tanamera started out as nothing more than a small makeshift factory with the dream of a natural business. Long before the concept of environmentalism even became popular.
A decade later, this small family business has now become a leading brand in the natural products industry.
When asked about future endeavours, Tanamera hopes to expand their online stores to international waters.
“We have been looking at several countries to export our products to like the US, the UK, and more! Online is the way of the future and it should make it easier for everyone,” said Faridah Ahmad Fadzil, Director of Tanamera Tropical Spa.
“We are also looking to produce more products that could help with tackling any type of difficulties that is being faced by anyone like skin problems, health, and so on. We continue to strive making good products while at the same time sticking to our values of being natural!”
With their vegan, plant-based, eco-friendly, cruelty-free products, it’s no surprise Malaysian mums love Tanamera.
It’s so important for skincare to be free of dyes, fragrance and preservatives. Especially when it’s pregnant mums and children who are using them. Tanamera definitely does not fail to delivers in this respect.
“First and foremost, we would like to thank Motherhood for choosing Tanamera to be a part of Motherhood Choice Awards. We highly appreciate them for their continuous support towards our brand and we would like to do the same for them in return. We truly appreciate being recognised as one of the best Postnatal Care Set since we do strive in making it the best. As a mother myself, I am happy to have a set curated specially for mothers to be able to take good care of themselves while at the same time being in their most happy state by greeting a new member to their family,” said Faridah Ahmad Fadzil, Director of Tanamera Tropical Spa.
