Madam Viji Ramasamy Pillai or known as Vincy among her business partners is the Founder and CEO of Maxvue Naturals Sdn Bhd.
As a successful female entrepreneur, she is always concerned and has a high spirit about women's health and care. This spirit has led her to do research on a critical situation of menstrual pollution in Malaysia and started to research extensively into the benefits of organic cotton and eco-friendly textiles on our skin and 100% biodegradable which is good for ladies and good for this Earth. Vincy realized there wasn’t much innovation on pads despite them being used by women every single month. She also realized that available disposable organic cotton pads, while comfortable, were very expensive which makes them out of reach for many women.
She wanted to create an organic pad which also has the added advantage of being environmentally friendly as organic cotton is free of pesticides besides being safer for our bodies. Women need to understand how the regularity of their cycle and the colour and amount of flow is all tied to their health. She also discovered that they prefer pads which are thin but can absorb well to avoid leakage. BioFree organic disposable pads deliver exactly that as they are just 0.2cm thick with an absorbency rate of 130ml for the day pads and 170ml for the night ones. The ultra-thin design with wings prevents leakage and a strong bio adhesive to hold the pad in place. Biofree also has the added advantage of being environmentally friendly as organic cotton is free of pesticides besides being safer for our bodies.
As a part of Supporting Biofree Green Menstruation Movement, Vincy raised her voice for Plastic free sanitary pads to needy women, therefore she started a new journey as a CEO of Maxvue Naturals Sdn Bhd in 2019.

4) CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Vincy realised there wasn’t much innovation on pads despite them being used by women every single month. She also realised that available disposable organic cotton pads, while comfortable, were very expensive which makes them out of reach for many women. Maxvue Naturals inspires, educate and builds socially-minded women entrepreneurs who generate incomes, enhance women’s leadership, and create social impact and environmental gains within the marginal communities. After one decade plus, what drives Vincy’s work is the passion. The monumental need to empower women at the grassroots “perceived as vulnerable” into change makers especially in the most vulnerable and climate affected areas..Vincy also gives preference for women to sell the pads in smaller quantities to get their extra income at a wholesale price. Women need to understand how the regularity of their cycle and the colour and amount of flow is all tied to their health. BioFree will always strive for a balance between practicality and sustainability, she says.
