Here at Haruharu Wonder, we develop each product around a specific idea: a lip balm that keeps your pout silky-smooth, a face mist that supports a healthy barrier, or an eye cream that targets fine lines. And while we’ve made those exact three things, sometimes we end up discovering that they have hidden, bonus benefits. For instance, did you know our lip balm can be used on your nails?
Inspired by the questions you ask us (like “Do lip balms work on dry cuticles too?” or “Can I use the NAD+ mist on my neck, shoulders, and arms?), we put together a list of five Haruharu Wonder heroes that have a secret side. Keep reading to find out how you can use these multitasking essentials to upgrade your daily skincare routine.
You know our PDRN lip balm as the silky-soft formula that leaves your pout prepped for lip tints and hydrated all day (or night). It’s packed with vegan rose PDRN and peptides to help repair and smooth, plus moisture-locking shea butter, jojoba oil, and ceramides. We also added gentle lactic acid for irritation-free exfoliation, which gives you that smooth finish.
Turns out all the ingredients that make this balm feel like a treat for your lips also make it the perfect cure for dry, peeling cuticles. The combination of smoothing and moisture-locking ingredients instantly nourishes skin, while the non-greasy, silky texture feels comfortable on hands. The squishy donut-shaped applicator is surprisingly great for targeted application, too. We just recommend always washing your hands before using it so you keep your lip balm hygienic. Try this trick next time you’re out of cuticle balm or oil, and you’ll be amazed at how soft and moisturized your cuticles feel in seconds.
Sometimes we make a product so good, it feels like a shame to only use it on your face. That perfectly sums up our NAD+ mist. This lightweight, creamy facial mist is infused with 2% NAD+, also known as your skin's natural charger. This potent ingredient supports repair to prevent visible skin damage and enhance natural glow. We paired it with fermented black rice, probiotics, and five ceramides to support your moisture barrier and enhance its effects.
We honestly thought this mist couldn’t get any better until we started getting questions about using it on the rest of your body. And after testing it out, we’re obsessed. You may know that we already make a body mist (our Black Bamboo Mist!), which feels like a rain shower in mid-summer and contains antioxidant-rich fermented black bamboo and moisturizing beta-glucan. And while we’re big fans of that one (pro tip: Pack it whenever you go to the gym or on a summer outing for an instant refresh), you can think of our NAD+ edition as a supercharged version for when you want extra skincare benefits. It’s clinically proven to enhance skin elasticity by 12.2%*, which is why we especially love spritzing it beyond the face for added benefits. Even if you’re not spraying from head to toe, try targeting your neck and shoulders with this one next time you grab it.
*According to a clinical study on 20 subjects after 2 weeks.
One of our bestselling products is our bakuchiol eye cream, which features a dual-functional formula that helps brighten dark circles and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in one. You’re obsessed with its lightweight, non-sticky finish and cooling, lightweight, milky texture. But what really makes this product so special is how it effectively targets visible signs of aging while still remaining gentle on thin, delicate areas like your under eyes.
The key ingredient is bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative that doesn’t cause photosensitivity and has far less risk of irritation. That means you can use it on sensitive skin as well as during the day to target lines and wrinkles. So why stop at your eyes? Some of our community members have already discovered how well this works on forehead wrinkles, smile lines, and neck wrinkles. The skin on your neck is also thinner, so this is a great, gentle choice to target that area. We didn’t specifically design it that way, but we definitely approve this hack.
Are you a fan of dewy makeup, but don’t always feel like doing a full face? Then just let your skincare do the work for you. Our favorite product to achieve an illuminated look is this lightweight, fast-absorbing dry oil that forms a protective barrier for all-day hydration. If you hate the greasy, heavy feel of some face oils, you’re going to love this one. Even if you apply it all over your skin, it still feels light and leaves the prettiest plumped, effortlessly glowy finish—with the antioxidant-rich benefits of black rice. We love applying it all over for a naturally radiant look, but if you want to enhance the highlighter effect, try this. After doing your skincare, add a few more drops to your hand and carefully tap them over the high points of your face (like the tip of your nose and tops of your cheekbones) for even more glow. We can confirm it looks amazing in photos.
Some of you may prefer a softer matte look over a glass-skin glow, and we’ve got you, too. If you’re looking for less (not more!) shine, just reach for our sunscreen stick. Yes, it’s already got you covered with daily UV protection without stickiness or white cast, plus antioxidant skincare benefits. But it also doubles as a shine-blocking primer or makeup topper thanks to its semi-matte finish. If you forgot to powder, just swipe this over your T-zone to take it from greasy to good-to-go. The finish isn’t too matte and the skincare-infused base ensures it won’t feel drying, so you can apply it effortlessly as much as you want. Just another reason to keep it in your bag at all times.
Now that you know our products’ hidden secrets, you’re about to get even more use out of them. Whether you’re short on luggage space for a summer vacation or just want to experience your favorite product’s benefits in a different way, don’t miss out on their multitasking potential. Did we miss any hidden hacks for your Haruharu Wonder routine? Don’t be shy, let us know!
