Ryo

Ryo was established in 2008 by Amorepacific, Korea's leading beauty group, as a premium hair care brand built on its Hanbang research. Hanbang refers to traditional Korean herbal knowledge, and Ryo applies it to the scalp and hair.

Its Jayangyunmo line launched in 2009 and has been refreshed over the years with GinsenEX, a concentrated ginseng extract developed from Amorepacific's long-running ginseng research. A 2016 update focused on stronger ginseng saponin content for the scalp.

Today Ryo spans several lines designed for different scalp and hair types, including Strengthen & Volume for fine or flat-looking hair, and the Jayangyunmo 9EX range for scalp care. Each combines herbal ingredients with modern formulation.

For shoppers, massage the shampoo into the scalp with your fingertips for a minute before rinsing, then apply conditioner to the lengths. Use the Strengthen & Volume pair if your hair looks flat, and choose the Jayangyunmo range for a richer, scalp-focused herbal routine. Rinse thoroughly and let your scalp dry fully after washing. Ryo's herbal formulas have a distinctive, refreshing scent that many shoppers love, and the big bottles make it easy to share with the household. If your scalp is sensitive, choose the gentler formulas and avoid scrubbing with your nails. For best results, use Ryo consistently over several weeks so you can see how your scalp and hair respond, and pair it with a gentle conditioner if your ends are dry.
