Also, in 2009, Holista CollTech group began col-laborating with Chemical Engineering
Pilot Plant (CEPP), University Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) to conduct research on Kacip

CollTech signed an MoU with Universiti Teknologi Malaysia to work on a formulation that would integrate UTM patent pending Kacip Fatimah anti-aging cream preparation with Holista CollTech’s ovine collagen formula, which would lead to the commercialization of a face cream in the first quarter of 2010.
In September the same year, Holista CollTech teamed up with Universiti Sains Malaysia
