The Science Behind Bomme: The BLH308™ Botanical Complex
In 2002, Korean scientist Dr. Jong-Moon Jeong began exploring nature-derived therapeutics with a simple belief:
“All diseases come from nature, and all remedies also come from nature.”
Over the next two decades, his team investigated the causes of hair loss and developed BLH308™, a proprietary botanical complex combining persimmon leaf, green tea leaf, and sophora fruit extracts.
In a 2023 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human study published in Skin Research & Technology, BLH308™ significantly increased hair density and thickness compared to placebo—offering a safe, plant-powered alternative to synthetic treatments.*

Bomme’s efficacy is supported by peer-reviewed and third-party human studies.
These findings form the foundation of Bomme’s formulations—bringing clinically validated natural science into everyday hair wellness.
Below are highlights from published and independently conducted clinical trials evaluating the BLH308™ complex and its key formulations.
Root Renewal Supplement: Clinically studied to support thicker, denser hair in 8 weeks
The 24-week human clinical study was published in Skin Research & Technology, the official journal of the International Society for Bioengineering of the Skin (ISBS).
Compared to placebo, participants taking the Bomme supplement showed significant increases in hair density and thickness at 8, 16, and 24 weeks in both male and female subjects aged 19–60.*
Summary:
Delivers internal nourishment for visibly thicker, stronger hair growth—clinically validated and drug-free.
* Individual results may vary. Based on a 24-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study (Ham et al., Skin Research and Technology, 2023).
Revitalizing Scalp Toner: Shown to improve density and reduce shedding in 4 weeks
In a 4-week human clinical study of the toner conducted by P&K Skin Research Center in South Korea in 2023, participants using the Bomme Revitalizing Scalp Toner experienced:
- 71.6% reduction in hairs shed during shampooing after 4 weeks (single-arm clinical study, P&K Skin Research Center, 2023)
- Statistically significant improvement in scalp soothing after 2 weeks
- Immediate –3.996°C scalp temperature reduction with a single application
Summary:
A lightweight, non-sticky leave-in with BLH308™ + MFDS-recognized actives (Niacinamide, Dexpanthenol, Caffeine) to soothe the scalp, reduce shedding, and support a healthier hair environment over time.
Revitalizing Scalp Shampoo: Clinically Tested for Safety and Scalp Balance
In a clinical evaluation conducted by P&K Skin Research Center (2023), the Bomme Revitalizing Scalp Shampoo was confirmed to be dermatologically safe.
Formulated with the BLH308™ botanical complex, it helps clear buildup, balance oil, and maintain scalp barrier integrity, preparing the scalp for optimal absorption of Bomme’s active ingredients.
Summary:
A gentle, plant-based cleanser clinically tested for daily comfort and formulated to complement the Root Renewal Supplement and Scalp Toner for complete scalp wellness.
Drug-free approach
Clean, Natural, and Clinically Studied
Many chemical-based treatments rely on synthetic actives that may cause irritation, dryness, or hormonal imbalance. Bomme takes a different approach, one rooted in nature and backed by science. Our formulas are free from drugs, silicones, parabens, and harsh additives, and powered instead by plant-based antioxidants and scalp-soothing botanicals.
This gentle, drug-free innovation nourishes the scalp, strengthens the hair’s foundation, and supports fuller, healthier growth over time.
Bomme is gentle
Bomme is free from drugs and harsh chemicals.
Unlike pharmaceutical treatments for hair thinning, Bomme contains no synthetic drugs and nothing designed to interfere with your body’s natural hormonal processes.
Some commonly used treatments work by improving scalp circulation. While they've shown results for some people, studies suggest effectiveness can vary, and continued use is typically required to maintain any benefits.
Other pharmaceutical options target hormonal pathways associated with hair thinning. While effective for some individuals, these approaches can interfere with natural hormone balance — with potential side effects related to mood, libido, or overall well-being.
Bomme takes a different approach.
Every ingredient — persimmon leaf, green tea, and sophora fruit — is naturally grown and pesticide-free, and sourced from the same plants used in traditional East Asian medicine and safely consumed for centuries. These botanicals are formulated to support a healthy scalp environment while respecting the body's natural balance.
No drugs. No synthetic hormones. No compromises.

Bomme is effective
Bomme's botanicals are backed by published clinical research — not just tradition.
Many plant-based hair products rely on broad anti-inflammatory or hormonal mechanisms. While some show promise, the evidence base for most remains limited and inconsistent across formulations.
Bomme takes a more specific approach. Our formula centers on three botanicals — persimmon leaf, green tea, and sophora fruit — that have been studied together as the BLH308™ botanical complex in a published, randomized clinical trial specifically for their effect on hair density and thickness. That's a higher standard of evidence than most natural hair solutions can claim.
In a 2023 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study published in Skin Research and Technology and conducted in collaboration with the Department of Dermatology at Yonsei University College of Medicine, participants taking the BLH308™ botanical complex showed statistically significant improvements in both hair density and hair thickness compared to the placebo group after 24 weeks. Improvements in hair density were measurable as early as week 8.
These outcomes were based on objective clinical measurements — not self-reported perceptions — using the same research standards commonly applied in pharmaceutical studies.
Bomme is a nature-driven solution for those who want measurable support for hair health, with ingredients that work in harmony with the body.
