Guardian Malaysia

guardian is Malaysia’s leading health, beauty and personal care chain, trusted by consumers for high quality products at affordable prices.

We serve an average of 33 million customers a month, who recognize us for our unrivaled variety of quality pharmaceutical, health and beauty products, many of which are exclusive. Guardian's beginnings can be traced back to 1967, when it was set up to cater to the community’s need for pharmaceutical and quality personal care products. Since then, the concept of providing specialized health and beauty products in a professional environment has gained popularity and Guardian started to expand.
