Our Story: Inspired by Nature, Driven by Purpose
The story of DTAPIR began in 2021 with a shared vision: to create a safer, greener way to protect our loved ones from harmful insects. As a team of passionate women from diverse backgrounds, we were united by our love for nature and our determination to make a difference.
Inspired by the Malayan Tapir—an iconic symbol of Malaysia’s rich biodiversity—we named our brand DTAPIR as a tribute to the natural world we aim to protect. The tapir, much like our mission, embodies resilience and harmony with its surroundings.
Starting out wasn’t easy. From sourcing sustainable ingredients to perfecting our formulations, we faced challenges that only strengthened our resolve. Guided by our goal to reduce the environmental footprint of everyday products, we developed insect repellents that are safe for both people and the planet.
Since our humble beginnings, we’ve proudly partnered with the Malaysian Nature Society to support their efforts in conserving our country’s natural heritage. This partnership is at the heart of our commitment to sustainability, as we believe that protecting the outdoors begins with respecting it.
Today, DTAPIR is more than just a brand—it’s a movement. A movement to embrace nature, live sustainably, and protect what matters most.
As we grow, our dream remains the same: to make a positive impact on our environment, one bottle at a time.
