NARD

NARD is a Korean brand of hair and body care. Its brand site lists an address in South Korea, and its product labels carry the words Himalaya Herb. The selection starts with shampoos, but it goes much further: hair treatments, toners, serums, creams, masks, sunscreens and body products.

According to the brand's Korean site, NARD presents itself as a hair and body care recipe driven by the vitality of the Himalayas. We report that description as it is, without adding any other promise. For any product, the ingredient list on the package remains the reference.

We sort the products by name, and this grouping is ours, not the brand's. The ingredients below come from the product titles.

• Shampoo: for example Black Seed Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo, Cooling Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo, Caffeine Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo, Sensitive Scalp Care Shampoo, Damage RX Shampoo, Signature Shampoo and Refresh Perfumed Shampoo.
• Treatment: hair care products such as the Rose Wood Hair Treatment.
• Propolis: Propolis Infusing Toner, Propolis Boosting Serum and Propolis Nourishing Cream.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Low-Molecular Deep Moisture Hyaluronic Acid Toner, Low Molecular Deep Moisture Hyaluronic Acid Serum and Low Molecular Deep Moisture Hyaluronic Acid Cream.
• Vita Balm: Vita Balm Seven Days Serum and Vita Balm Brightening Toner.

Other ingredients appear in the titles: argan in the Rich Argan Hair Essence Oil, tea tree in the Tea Tree Blemish Soothing Serum and the Tea Tree Mildly Acidic Cleansing Foam, collagen in the Collagen Mist. We do not describe what they do beyond what the titles and labels say.

Start with the step you want to add to your routine. For hair, pick a shampoo first according to your scalp: sensitive, oily, flaky or simply scented. The names show the intent, like Sensitive Scalp Care Shampoo or Scalp Cooling Shampoo. Then add a hair treatment if your lengths need one. If you are looking for a specific effect on hair loss, talk to a professional: a product name is not a promise.

For your face, a simple routine is enough: a cleanser, a toner, a serum, a cream, and a sunscreen in the morning. If your skin is sensitive, patch-test each product on a small area and change one product at a time. Cosmetic advice, not medical advice.

Each product page repeats the exact title and the photos of the packaging, so you know what you are ordering.

The first thing you notice is the labels. They are plain, with the product name in Latin letters, a series line such as Hair Therapy or Skin Therapy, and Himalaya Herb at the bottom. The photos on the product pages almost always show a single bottle in front of a blurred mountain landscape.

The other particularity is the range of choice. Under one name you find shampoos made for the scalp (cooling, sensitive and anti-dandruff according to the titles), hair treatments, and also a real face routine with cleansers, toners, serums and creams. That lets you stay with one brand for several everyday steps.

To get to know the brand, here are a few starting points, chosen from their titles and photos, not from a sales ranking. For hair, the Sensitive Scalp Care Shampoo for a sensitive scalp, the Scalp Cooling Shampoo for the cooling feel, the Argan Oil Damage Care Shampoo for damaged hair, and the Hair Loss Relief Hair Tonic for the scalp. For your face, the Micro Whip Deep Cleansing Foam to cleanse, the Deep Moisture Pore Toner, the Propolis Boosting Serum and the Propolis Nourishing Cream. For morning protection, the UV Shield Sunscreen and the Perfect Shield Sun Stick.

For the body, the Calming Body Mist and the Acne Relief Body Wash round out the selection, with the Eoseongcho Soap among the cleansers.
