This Merdeka month, Naturals by Watsons is celebrating one of Malaysia’s most beloved tropical treasures with the launch of its new Mangosteen range, inspired by the country’s iconic “Queen of Fruits”. Marking the peak of Malaysia’s mangosteen season, the launch brings beauty and local culture together through a uniquely Malaysian experience at KL DEX, where the “Queen of Fruits” meets Malaysia’s legendary “King of Fruits,” the durian, in a special Durian & Mangosteen Eating Party.
Proudly made in Malaysia, this range celebrates what Malaysians cherish. Inspired by the local Queen of Fruits, the mangosteen, it combines nature’s goodness with Malaysia’s rich culture and heritage for a truly local feel. The celebration highlights Naturals by Watsons’ commitment to integrating nature’s benefits into daily beauty routines while honoring Malaysia’s vibrant cultural heritage and native ingredients.
The new Mangosteen range is formulated with 97% natural-origin ingredients and features mangosteen extract, renowned for its antioxidant properties that nourish and protect the skin, leaving it refreshed and healthy. It also delivers up to 72 hours of moisture, ensuring long-lasting hydration for soft, healthy-looking skin. This range includes shower gel, body lotion, body mist, and travel-size shower gel and body lotion.
“Mangosteen is a beloved fruit in Malaysia, and we’re excited to incorporate this familiar local favorite into Naturals by Watsons Mangosteen product range. We wanted to bring this iconic fruit forward and give it a fresh expression in beauty and personal care. Beyond being a fruit Malaysians know and love, mangosteen is also valued for its naturally rich qualities, making it a fitting inspiration for a nature-rooted range. We are proudly bringing a uniquely Malaysian story to our customers in a way that is relevant, meaningful and exciting,” said Danny Hoh, Chief Operating Officer of Watsons Malaysia.
Adding a distinctive Malaysian touch to the collection, Naturals by Watsons has collaborated with local Malaysian illustrator Wonders of Eqa to create exclusive limited-edition packaging inspired by Malaysia’s vibrant culture and heritage. The designs feature familiar local elements, including the traditional sarung and wau, transforming the collection into a beauty range that celebrates Malaysian identity. The launch also sees Naturals by Watsons collaborating with KL DEX, a destination known for celebrating Malaysia’s King of Fruits. Through this collaboration, visitors can experience the King and Queen of Fruits together in one destination, creating an immersive journey that connects local fruit culture, beauty, and discovery.
From this coming weekend and Malaysia Day on 16 September 2026, visitors to KL DEX can discover and try the Naturals by Watsons Mangosteen range, experience its textures and scents, and learn more about the skincare benefits inspired by the Queen of Fruits. Guests can also enjoy fresh mangosteen alongside KL DEX’s signature durian experience, celebrating two of Malaysia’s most iconic fruits. Exclusively available at Watsons Malaysia, the limited-edition Mangosteen range also offers a fun and meaningful Malaysian-inspired beauty souvenir for those looking to bring a piece of Malaysia home. Visitors can also discover other locally inspired mask flavours, exclusively available at Watsons Malaysia.
With the King and Queen of Fruits taking centre stage, Naturals by Watsons invites Malaysians to rediscover the beauty of local inspiration – one mangosteen at a time. The Naturals by Watsons Mangosteen range is now available at Watsons stores nationwide and online. Prices start from RM23.90, with exclusive deals for customers who spend RM40 or more on the Mangosteen range, including a chance to receive a Mangosteen plushie.
