A study research from the American Academy of Dermatology revealed that 40% of women experience visible hair loss by the age of 40 while most women who frequently colour and style their hair complain about damaged hair.1 In the recent years, hair loss and hair thinning are prevalent among Asian women due to environmental changes, hectic lifestyle coupled with poor living habits.
According to Margaret Chin, Country Manager of Amorepacific Malaysia, “A woman’s hair is a crowning glory to her identity and the hair enhances her personality. Ryo’s hair care philosophy is to restore hair balance with a dedicated treatment range on hair scalp. Over the decades, Ryo’s hair care is differentiated from the rest of global hair care by its niche products; offering herbal and medicinal remedies for hair loss to women worldwide.” Ryo currently boasts a record holder of No. 1 market share in the herbal shampoo category for 9 consecutive years from June 2009 – June 2018, according to Kantar Worldpanel, a global expert in shopper’s behaviour.
Using ‘Yin’ and ‘Yang’ as the basis of Ryo’s treatment formulation, the ‘Yin’ is represented by Ryo (inner nature) which is the scalp while ‘Yang’ is represented by Yul (surface) which is the hair. Ryo believes that achieving a harmonious balance between the ‘Yul-Ryo’ is important in achieving healthy lustrous hair but any hair issues must first be addressed from the Ryo which is the scalp. Therefore, Ryo’s treatment remains focused on the scalp. Ryo is also the first hair care brand in the market that treats the scalp apart from the hair.
Dandruff Relief Care offers intensive moisturising and a soothing feeling on the scalp. The combination of fermented Camellia Oil with other natural ingredients such as Bamboo Sap and Chestnut Shell, it helps to relieve the scalp from itchiness and dryness. Black Pine Oil is also added into the formulation to give the hair a shiny coat.
With the launch of Ryo, Amorepacific Malaysia has expanded its portfolio of brands to a total of six brands. Chin added, “This is our first partnership with Watsons and we hope to have more collaboration with Watsons in the near future.”
Caryn Loh, Managing Director of Watsons Malaysia said, “Ryo has a proven track record of helping many troubled women in restoring hair vitality and combat hair loss with its latest hair prevention technology and oriental ingredients. Our partnership with Ryo comes in a timely manner to mitigate various female hair problems. There is a demand for women who are looking for affordable hair loss solution with value-added ingredients in the product. A leading shampoo brand that is within reach across Watsons stores nationwide and online store, Ryo will soon become a popular choice of scalp and hair care shampoo among Malaysian women.”
Present at the exclusive launch were Margaret Chin, Country Manager of Amorepacific Malaysia, WenJuan Qiu, Research & Development Professional alongside Danny Hoh, Customer Director and Thoren Tan, Trading Director of Watsons Malaysia. Rachel Rho, Ryo Brand Manager and Jully Park, Senior Vice President for Ryo Division from Amorepacific Headquarters (based in Korea) attended the launch in support of the first partnership.
Ryo’s product efficacy stems from the usage of oriental medicinal ingredients as well as natural plant ingredients in its formulation. For Hair Loss Care, the core ingredient uses Ginseng while Damage Hair and Dandruff Relief hair care lines utilise Jeju Camellia flowers. Scalp Deep Cleansing uses mint as its core ingredient.
Ryo’s Hair Loss Care uses highly concentrated ginseng saponins as an active ingredient in its formulation which is used to help manage the hair growth cycle while green tea and ginger are used to help protect follicular cells from stress and also adds to strengthening the roots.
Ryo’s comprehensive hair care range is available in Watsons nationwide. Visit the nearest Watsons stores or shop at online store. For latest updates and promotional offerings, stay tune at Ryo Malaysia Facebook page and Instagram.
