Houttuynia Cordata Extract BOM Just One Houttuynia Cordata Extract 92,5%

BOM Just One Houttuynia Cordata Extract is a 92.5% single-ingredient botanical extract built around one hero plant: houttuynia cordata, freshly sourced from Jiri Mountain in South Korea. It's made for people who like to keep their routine simple and want to add a calming, lightweight layer of plant care to their skin.

The formula is deliberately minimal. BOM uses high-grade herbal extract with minimal preservatives, and the brand certifies it as fully vegan: it's 100% botanical material with no animal-derived ingredients and no animal testing. The extract is drawn out at low temperature over roughly 20 hours, the slow way you'd prepare a traditional herbal infusion, to carry through the plant's natural compounds.

What it does for your skin

Houttuynia cordata is naturally rich in compounds like quercitrin and other flavonoids and polyphenols. Used on the skin, this watery extract feels fresh and comforting, and helps skin look calm, smooth and well-hydrated. It's a good fit for combination and blemish-prone skin that responds well to lightweight, water-based layers.

Who is it for?

It suits most skin types, including more reactive or oily-combination skin, and it works for both women and men who want a pared-back, plant-led step. Because it's a concentrated single extract, it's also handy if you like to customise your own routine.

How do you use it?

You can use it three ways. Apply it straight as a toner after cleansing. Mix it into a toner you already use and decant into a bottle to mist through the day. Or soak a cotton pad and lay it on areas that need extra comfort as a quick local mask. You can also blend two or more BOM extracts together, or add this one to a toner, lotion or cream at around 5–10% depending on the texture you want.

Good to know

Use within 6 months of opening. Store it somewhere dark and cool, away from direct sunlight, and ideally in the fridge. Try to keep storage consistent, since frequent temperature swings can affect the contents; if you start keeping it in the fridge, keep it there. Because it's packed with raw botanical material, you may spot small herbal particles or sediment settling at the bottom. That's the natural plant fibre and is completely normal, the extract stays good to use.
