Glycolic Acid
An alpha hydroxy acid that supports exfoliation to improve the appearance of skin texture and clarity.
CONTROLLED RENEWAL
EMH-6®
CONTROLLED RENEWAL COMPLEX
Controlled renewal begins with restraint.
EMH-6® is LBH's proprietary Controlled Renewal Complex, developed from the belief that effective exfoliation should support skin function—not challenge it.
Rather than relying on increasingly aggressive exfoliation, EMH-6® combines six complementary ingredients selected to promote controlled renewal while supporting hydration, compatibility, and long-term skin resilience.
RENEWAL WITH RESTRAINT.
Exfoliation is often approached as a question of intensity. LBH begins with a different question: how can renewal be supported without creating unnecessary disruption?
Healthy skin relies on consistent desquamation, adequate hydration, barrier integrity, and time for recovery. Increasing exfoliating activity without regard for those conditions can contribute to cumulative stress and reduced tolerance.
EMH-6® was developed to support effective surface renewal within a more balanced formulation system.

WHY SIX?
Skin function is rarely supported by a single ingredient.
EMH-6® combines three exfoliating acids with three hydration-supportive ingredients. Each component serves a distinct purpose, while the complex is designed around how the ingredients function together.
The objective is not greater intensity. It is a more balanced relationship between exfoliation, hydration, and skin compatibility.

THE SIX COMPLEMENTARY INGREDIENTS
Lactic Acid
An alpha hydroxy acid that helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and supports surface renewal.
Mandelic Acid
An alpha hydroxy acid with a larger molecular size that helps promote clarity with a lower potential for irritation.
Hyaluronic Acid
A humectant that helps attract and retain moisture to support hydration and skin resilience.
Propanediol
A multifunctional humectant that helps enhance hydration and support ingredient performance.
Xylitol
A humectant that helps maintain hydration and support a healthy skin environment.
MORE THAN AN ACID BLEND.
EMH-6® was not developed around the idea that stronger exfoliation produces better skin.
The exfoliating acids support the removal of surface buildup and more consistent renewal. The hydration-supportive ingredients help maintain the conditions necessary for compatibility and continued use.
Together, the six ingredients reflect an approach to exfoliation that considers not only what the formula removes, but also what the skin needs to maintain function over time.

FORMULATED WITH INTENTION.
Every component of EMH-6® was selected for its contribution to the performance of the complete formulation.
The complex reflects a central LBH principle: effective skincare is not defined by the number of ingredients used or the intensity of the intervention, but by how intentionally each element supports the skin and the formulation as a whole.

FORMULATED WITH EMH-6®
CONTROLLED RENEWAL, EXPRESSED TWO WAYS.
EMH-6® is featured in two LBH formulations, each designed to deliver controlled renewal within a distinct protocol role.
Exfoliating Toner
A low-pH leave-on exfoliant designed to support controlled cell turnover, barrier regulation, and long-term skin clarity.
