Nc Petra (also styled NC PETRA or NC-PETRA) is a South Korean professional hair-care brand. The company primarily produces shampoos, scalp treatments, conditioners, hair masks, leave-in treatments, oils, tonics, and styling products. Public product and trade records identify NEWGENCOSMETIC Co., Ltd. as the manufacturer behind the brand. 1

The brand positions itself around professional, salon-oriented hair and scalp care, with a specific focus on damaged, dry, chemically treated, frizzy, or difficult-to-manage hair. Its product philosophy emphasizes combining cosmetic ingredients such as keratin, proteins, botanical extracts, tea tree, collagen, and LPP treatment technology with routines intended to improve the condition and appearance of hair.

NEWGENCOSMETIC is listed as a Korean manufacturer whose product portfolio includes shampoos, conditioners, treatments, oils, and tonics. A Korean export listing gives its address as 12 Namdongseo-ro 113beon-gil, Namdong-gu, Incheon, and identifies the company as the manufacturer of NC-PETRA products.

Nc Petra appears to be a relatively specialized professional-hair-care brand rather than a mass-market cosmetics conglomerate. The associated company, NEWGENCOSMETIC Co., Ltd., was established on November 22, 2016, according to the company’s Korean export profile. Its stated main business is the manufacturing of hair-care products including shampoo, conditioner, treatments, oils, and tonics. 2

The brand subsequently developed an assortment aimed at both salon professionals and consumers seeking salon-style home care. Current product databases list numerous Nc Petra products, while retailers in Singapore and other Asian markets carry several of its professional ranges.

Nc Petra also has an international trademark filing for “NC PETRA PROFESSIONAL.” The U.S. trademark record identifies NEWGENCOSMETIC Co., Ltd. as the applicant and covers products including hair colorants, hair dyes, hair lotions, sprays, straightening/waving preparations, shampoo, and conditioner. The application was filed in October 2024, with a South Korean priority filing from August 2024.

The central idea behind Nc Petra is professional hair care with an emphasis on hair and scalp health. The brand’s presentation emphasizes reliability, professional treatment, and the use of carefully selected ingredients. Third-party descriptions of the brand describe its philosophy as providing salon-quality care for use at home, while Vietnamese industry coverage describes Nc Petra as emphasizing biotechnology, scalp health, and safety. 3

Rather than concentrating exclusively on cosmetic styling, the range is divided between:

• Scalp cleansing and balancing
• Damage repair
• Moisture and nourishment
• Protein treatment
• Chemical-treatment protection
• Frizz and texture management
• Hair styling
• Scalp toning and care

This structure makes Nc Petra closer to a professional treatment-oriented hair-care system than a conventional shampoo-only brand.

Nc Petra has a relatively broad professional hair-care portfolio.

Shampoos

One of the brand’s better-known lines is Nc Petra Tender Shampoo, offered in a large 1,500 ml professional size. The product is positioned around deep cleansing while maintaining moisture and oil balance. Its listed formulation includes vegetable protein and several plant extracts intended to help regulate sebum and maintain softness.

Another major category is the Restore Pure range, which includes shampoo formulated around a mildly acidic/pH-balanced approach. Retail descriptions position it toward damaged or dry hair.

The brand also offers Tea Tree scalp-focused shampoos, targeting scalp cleansing and oil/dead-skin management.

Treatments and Masks

Treatments are arguably the core of Nc Petra’s portfolio. Examples include:

• Premium Tea Tree LPP Treatment
• Hermoso Smoothing LPP Treatment
• Keratin Nourishing Treatment
• Restore Pure Mask
• Hermoso Nourishing Treatment

The Premium Tea Tree LPP Treatment, for example, combines tea-tree and green-tea extracts with snail filtrate, argan oil, collagen, and other ingredients. It is marketed for moisture, nourishment, elasticity, and protection of damaged hair, including use as a pretreatment during chemical services. 4

The Hermoso Smoothing LPP Treatment focuses on supplying protein to damaged hair and contains ingredients including collagen, silk protein, and betaine. 5

Keratin Treatments

Nc Petra also has a Keratin Nourishing Treatment, designed particularly for hair exposed to repeated perming, coloring, blow-drying, and straightening/ironing. The product is a leave-on treatment containing keratin and hydroxyethyl urea, with claims around nutrition, moisture, elasticity, shine, and heat protection. This reflects one of Nc Petra’s major areas of specialization: care for chemically and thermally damaged hair.

Scalp-Care Products

Scalp care is another important part of the brand. The Nc Petra Tea Tree Scalp Tonic is marketed as a functional cosmetic intended to help with symptoms associated with hair loss, while tea-tree extract is used for scalp cleansing and care. The brand therefore approaches hair care from both directions: treating the scalp as the foundation and the hair fiber as the treatment target.

Hair Oils and Leave-In Products

Nc Petra also produces leave-in products such as:

• Hermoso Hair Oil
• Hermoso Nourishing Treatment
• Hermoso Smoothing Treatment
• Keratin Nourishing Treatment

These are particularly directed at dry, damaged, permed, colored, or otherwise stressed hair. Singapore retailers describe the Hermoso products as leave-in treatments designed to nourish, moisturize, and improve manageability.

Styling Products

Nc Petra is not limited to treatment products. Its styling range includes products such as Nc Petra Perfecting Spray and Enrich Curl Cream. The Perfecting Spray is a non-aerosol hair spray designed for continuous hold and shine while remaining water-soluble/easy to clean.

Nc Petra’s formulations vary by product, but several ingredients and concepts appear repeatedly.

• Keratin: Particularly important to the brand’s damaged-hair positioning. Since hair is primarily composed of keratin protein, keratin-containing cosmetic treatments are commonly used to improve the feel, smoothness, and appearance of damaged hair. Nc Petra’s Keratin Nourishing Treatment specifically uses keratin as part of its treatment system.
• LPP (Low-Molecular-Weight Protein): Another recurring concept in Nc Petra treatments. The brand uses LPP terminology in products such as its Premium Tea Tree LPP Treatment and Hermoso Smoothing LPP Treatment, positioning these products around supplying proteins/nutrients to damaged hair.
• Tea Tree: Particularly associated with Nc Petra’s scalp-care range. The brand uses tea-tree extract in shampoos, treatments, and tonics intended to cleanse and refresh the scalp and manage excess oil and buildup.
• Plant Extracts: Botanical extracts are a recurring feature. The Tender Shampoo, for example, is described as containing multiple plant extracts for scalp and oil-moisture management.
• Collagen and Other Proteins: Collagen, silk protein, and other proteins appear in the treatment portfolio, particularly products intended to improve the smoothness, elasticity, and shine of damaged hair.

Nc Petra’s positioning makes it particularly relevant to people with:

• Dry or rough hair
• Chemically damaged hair
• Bleached or colored hair
• Permed or straightened hair
• Frizzy hair
• Hair lacking shine and elasticity
• Oily or buildup-prone scalps
• Individuals looking for professional/salon-style home care

A current brand overview similarly identifies damaged, dry, frizzy, and oily-scalp concerns among the principal use cases for the range. The large-volume packaging of products such as the 1,000–1,500 ml shampoos and treatments also reflects the brand’s professional/salon orientation.

Nc Petra occupies a distinct space in the Korean beauty market. It is not primarily a celebrity-driven consumer beauty brand in the way some large K-beauty companies are. Instead, its identity is closely tied to professional hair salons, hair treatments, and functional hair care. This is reflected in the availability of its products; some Nc Petra products are distributed through beauty-supply businesses and professional channels rather than being universally available in conventional retail stores. User-review data identifies salon-oriented distribution as one reason the brand can be harder to find in some markets.

At the same time, the brand has expanded into consumer markets, including Singapore, Vietnam, and other Asian markets. For example, Singapore retailers currently list Nc Petra shampoos, treatments, styling products, and scalp products. Evidence of overseas distribution includes commercial listings in Singapore, promotion to professional salons and consumers in Vietnam, international export listings through Korean B2B platforms, and a U.S. trademark application for NC PETRA PROFESSIONAL. This suggests that Nc Petra’s strategy is not restricted to the Korean domestic market; it has been developed as an exportable professional hair-care brand.

Based on its product portfolio and available market information, Nc Petra’s strongest characteristics include:

• Professional orientation: Strongly associated with salon/professional hair care rather than basic everyday shampoo.
• Damaged-hair focus: A substantial part of the range is directed toward hair damaged by coloring, perming, bleaching, heat, and other chemical processes.
• Broad treatment system: Covers the entire routine—from scalp cleansing through intensive treatments, leave-ins, oils, and styling.
• Large professional formats: Several products are available in large 1,000–1,500 ml sizes, appropriate for salon use.
• Ingredient-focused positioning: Keratin, LPP, tea tree, collagen, botanical extracts, and other treatment ingredients give the brand a distinctly functional rather than purely cosmetic identity.

However, Nc Petra’s professional positioning also comes with considerations. Availability can vary significantly by country, and some products may be easier to find through salons or specialist beauty retailers than mainstream stores. Additionally, individual products can have very different formulations. For example, tea-tree products may produce a relatively strong cooling sensation, while other Nc Petra products are designed primarily for damaged-hair repair. Therefore, “Nc Petra” should not be treated as one single formulation or one universal hair type solution.
