Ingredients

What's in the bottle,
and why.

Every BHLML formula is built with Selfnamed in Sweden. Naturally-derived actives at clinically meaningful concentrations. ECOCERT-approved. Dermatologically tested. Nothing in the formula is decorative.

Our four rules
01

Clinically meaningful, or not at all.

Every active is dosed at the concentration shown to do something. Below that, it's marketing. We don't include it.

02

Naturally-derived where it works.

Plant-derived surfactants, fermented humectants, cold-pressed oils. Synthetics only when the natural version underperforms or destabilises the formula.

03

ECOCERT-approved throughout.

Every formula is reviewed against the ECOCERT COSMOS standard. Restricted list is enforced at the raw material level, not just the final product.

04

No fragrance. No filler.

No essential oils for scent. No parfum, no masking agents. Nothing in the bottle is there to make a sample strip smell better.
