Hwarang’ or 화랑품 in Korean
Hwarang's Korean name consists of two words 화랑 (read as ”Hwarang”) and 품 (read as ”poom”, means an item or a thing) and thus means an item of Hwarang 🏹 At the same time hwarangpoom sounds similar to Korean word hwajangpoom #화장품 which means cosmetics. Hwarang' wanted to create cosmetics that makes your skin stronger and more beautiful. Just like exercise makes your body stronger, using quality skin care strengthens and rejuvenates our skin.
History
Long time ago, in the ancient Kingdom of Shilla there existed royal knights called hwarangs. There were not only very well trained physically but also spiritually as they mastered many different kinds of arts such as horsemanship, meditation, dance and even polo to be able to protect their values.
Across Shilla, hwarangs were referred to as Flowering Knights (화 as flower and 랑 as corps) for their beauty and devotion to taking care of their body which was a result of the young-yook-il-chi-sa-sang (영육일치사상) ideology of that time - within a beautiful body, rests a beautiful soul. Hwarangs enjoyed frequent bathing ceremonies during which they pampered themselves with Korean traditional hanbang extracts and oils to make their skin radiant and healthy in order to reflect that inner strength.
