Brand Story
Trusted for half a century
Since the days when its faithful Volkswagen Kombi traversed the villages of Malaysia and Singapore with its trademark loudspeakers extolling the benefits of traditional medicine, Tai Tong Ah’s Herbal Oil (青草油) has remained a product trusted by households for decades. Herbal Oil offers quick relief (with its characteristic searing sting!) for cuts, burns, insect bites and a range of skin ailments. Users swear by its efficacy. They know that when the pain passes, wounds begin to heal.
Over the years, Tai Tong Ah progressed from making its products by hand to setting up automated production lines in its factory and adopting modern scientific methods of manufacturing. In 2008, the company received the certification for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) from the Singapore Health Sciences Authority. Tai Tong Ah is proud to be a Singapore company carrying the Singapore brand, with products that are synonymous with quality, safety, reliability and efficacy. (read more)
Today the company has 3 main products under the Double Prawn brand – Herbal Oil (青草油), Rumagon (风湿油) and HuoLuo Oil (活络油).
Restoring Wellness
In 2020, while the world was reeling under the onslaught of Covid-19, Tai Tong Ah started research to find a solution that could offer users relief from the increasing stresses of day-to-day modern living. Building on its experience in traditional medicine, quality control, and modern manufacturing methods, Tai Tong Ah developed a new range of botanical aromatherapy medicated oil. These combine the efficacy of traditional medicated oil with the distinct fragrance of natural essential oils to uplift moods and restore wellness.
