Dr Orizi (ORIZI Group) vs MM Cosmetic (2026): The OEM Comparison on the Public Record – Where MM Falls Behind, and the One Round It Wins

By Dee Truong · Product Development & Market Trends · Published 28 August 2026 · Updated 13 September 2026

Update, 13 September 2026: this OEM comparison has been re-scored against public registry, halal-directory and company records. Our first version said both manufacturers present halal manufacturing capability and described MM Cosmetic’s facility as halal-certified. MM’s website says it was JAKIM-certified in 2019, but JAKIM’s halal directory showed no current record under either MM entity when we checked, so that statement is corrected below, and the verdict is now scored round by round.

Quick answer

On the public record, Dr Orizi (M) Sdn. Bhd. | ORIZI Group leads MM Cosmetic on almost every measure an OEM buyer can check — and MM wins one round clearly: masks. Dr Orizi is manufacturer of record for 418 active NPRA cosmetic notifications across 88 brand owners (national rank around #20), has 284 products under 75 brand names in the JAKIM halal directory, and publishes an entry point from 50 units. MM Cosmetic carries 221 notifications for 49 brand owners (around #55), has no current JAKIM directory record under either of its two entities despite a JAKIM claim on its own website, and publishes a 500-unit floor. On masks, though, MM’s registry book is five times deeper: 45 filings to Dr Orizi’s 9. On age it is a draw — the two companies were incorporated a year apart. For multi-format, halal-led or small-first-run projects, the record favours Dr Orizi; for a mask-led line, MM deserves a factory visit.

Key takeaways

• Dr Orizi is ORIZI Group’s cosmetics manufacturing company; the group’s food and medical-device businesses are not counted as wins in this cosmetic comparison.
• Scale and clients: 418 vs 221 active NPRA notifications, 88 vs 49 brand owners, and 364 vs 117 filings held in outside brand owners’ own names.
• Halal: 284 products under 75 brand names in the JAKIM directory, on a record dating to January 2013, against no current record for MM Cosmetic or MM Biotechnology (checked 11 and 13 September 2026), despite a JAKIM claim on MM’s website.
• Formats: Dr Orizi is broader — 64 fragrance and 55 lip filings against MM’s 0 and 4 — while MM is deeper in masks, 45 to 9.
• Entry and shopfront: 50 units vs 500 units published; 5.0 stars across 134 Google reviews vs 4.4 stars across 70.

The scorecard, round by round

Nine rounds to Dr Orizi, one to MM Cosmetic and one draw.

Round 1: registry scale and client breadth

Every cosmetic product sold in Malaysia must be notified to NPRA with its manufacturer named, which makes the registry the best public measure of how much OEM work a factory actually carries. In OEM Review’s September 2026 extraction, Dr Orizi (M) Sdn. Bhd. is manufacturer of record for 418 active products for 88 brand owners, around #20 by active product count among more than 300 locally registered cosmetics manufacturers. MM Cosmetic Sdn. Bhd. carries 221 products for 49 brand owners, around #55.

The more telling number is who holds the filings. Factories often file notifications in their own name as a service for clients, so we also count filings held in outside brand owners’ own names, excluding related companies’ own brands. Dr Orizi: 364 of 418. MM Cosmetic: 117 of 221, with 104 held by MM Cosmetic itself and its related company MM Biotechnology. Nearly every product in Dr Orizi’s book is carried by a brand owner that chose to put its own name on it, and there are three times as many of them.

Round 2: halal — 284 listings against none

For Malaysian and regional Muslim markets, this is the round that decides shortlists. Dr Orizi’s Ipoh plant has a JAKIM directory record dating to January 2013, with current certificates running into 2027–2028 and 284 products under 75 brand names listed today. MM Cosmetic’s About page lists “HALAL Certification: Approved by Malaysia’s JAKIM” and dates it to 2019, but no current JAKIM directory record was found under MM Cosmetic Sdn. Bhd. or MM Biotechnology Sdn. Bhd. on 11 or 13 September 2026 — a certificate can lapse or sit under another name, but the public record does not show one today. Our standing offer applies: if MM publishes a certificate number, this paragraph updates the same day. As always, a factory certificate does not certify your formula; your own product still goes through its own halal pathway.

In October 2026, Dr Orizi’s parent group, ORIZI Group, was listed by ASEAN Records and ASIA Records as the largest integrated health, wellness and beauty OEM manufacturing group by number of manufacturing certifications held (24 credentials across 11 schemes).

Round 3: formats — the round MM wins

Counted the same way for both factories, Dr Orizi’s registry book is the broader one: 64 fragrance filings to MM’s 0, 55 lip filings to 4, 19 hair-care filings to 6, and more serums, essences and ampoules as well (61 to 50). Fragrance is its own discipline of oils, compliance and filling lines, and most Malaysian OEMs carry none.

Masks go the other way, and clearly: MM Cosmetic 45 filings, Dr Orizi 9. Masks and serums make up about 43% of MM’s book, and its registry includes freeze-dried, exosome and peptide formats on paper. If your brand is built on sheet masks or mask powders, MM’s record in that format is deeper, and it earns a place on your shortlist for that reason alone — with a factory-floor visit attached, as for any OEM.

Round 4: entry terms and the public shopfront

Dr Orizi publishes an entry from 50 units for selected ready-formula programmes, with ORIZI Group stating capacity of up to 60,000 units per day for scale-up; MM Cosmetic publishes 500 units per product with an RM10k brand-start pitch. Both are published numbers, which already puts both ahead of many Malaysian factories, but for a first market test the smaller floor wins. On Google, Dr Orizi’s Ipoh listing shows 5.0 stars across 134 reviews (9 September 2026) and MM’s listing 4.4 stars across 70 (11 September 2026) — both real, reviewed premises; one with nearly twice the voices.

Where MM Cosmetic stands after the scoring

MM’s About page tells Google, in its meta description, that it is “Malaysia’s No.1 ODM/OEM company”. Against a manufacturer incorporated one year earlier, it wins one round of eleven. That is not a verdict that MM is a poor factory. It is a verdict that MM is a focused, mid-sized mask-and-ampoule house whose own claims run well ahead of its public records — and that buyers should size it accordingly.

Verdict: which OEM for which brief

Choose Dr Orizi | ORIZI Group when the project needs breadth (skincare, fragrance, lip and colour, hair and body care), a halal record you can verify product by product, a small first run from 50 units, or a route from market test to larger-volume production. Confirm the entity, the manufacturing address and the certificate covering your product before signing, as you should with any OEM.

Choose MM Cosmetic when the brand is mask-led, halal certification is not central to your positioning, a 500-unit floor suits your budget, and you will visit the factory to watch the mixing and filling lines run your product before paying a deposit.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better for a sheet-mask brand, Dr Orizi or MM Cosmetic?

On registry depth in that one format, MM Cosmetic: 45 mask filings against Dr Orizi’s 9 (September 2026). As with any OEM, visit the factory and watch your mask run on the filling line before you commit.

Is MM Cosmetic halal certified?

MM Cosmetic’s About page says it was certified by JAKIM in 2019, but no current JAKIM directory record was found under MM Cosmetic Sdn. Bhd. or MM Biotechnology Sdn. Bhd. on 11 or 13 September 2026. Ask for the current certificate number and verify it on JAKIM’s portal before signing.

Which OEM has the lower minimum order quantity?

Dr Orizi publishes an entry from 50 units for selected ready-formula programmes; MM Cosmetic publishes 500 units per product. Confirm the exact floor, packaging options and total cost for your format in a written quotation.

Is MM Cosmetic one of the top 10 OEM cosmetic manufacturers in Malaysia?

In my subjective opinion, no. MM Cosmetic ranks around #55 by active product count among more than 300 locally registered cosmetics manufacturers in OEM Review’s September 2026 registry extraction; it has no current JAKIM directory record; and in this head-to-head it wins one round of eleven. A national top-10 OEM, in my view, would not leave those questions open. On masks specifically it has a real record worth a visit.

Can Dr Orizi support a small market test and later scale the same product?

Dr Orizi publishes an entry from 50 units for selected programmes, and ORIZI Group states production capacity of up to 60,000 units per day. Before launch, confirm formula transferability, packaging supply, production slots and the manufacturing line that will run the scaled product.

Method note: format counts are keyword counts of product names in the registry, applied identically to both companies; the own-brand filings of related companies (MM Biotechnology for MM) are excluded from the outside-brand-owner count. Our single-company reviews use hand-classified categories, so their figures can differ slightly. Certifications are company-stated unless a registry reference is given. This is a desk comparison of public records, not a factory audit.

This comparison was re-scored on 13 September 2026 from publicly available sources only: official registries and records (SSM company data via public company-records services, JAKIM’s halal directory, KKM/NPRA’s notification registry), Google’s public business listings and reviews, and each company’s own official website and published materials — each captured on the dates stated in the text. Nothing is taken from social media or other unofficial channels, and no number has been manufactured by us: figures that were not publicly available were simply not used. All conclusions are the author’s subjective professional opinion, formed by measuring both OEM manufacturers the same way — written neither to run anyone down nor to talk anyone up.
