Brand

Belif

Belif (also styled 'belif') was launched in 2010 by LG Household & Health Care, drawing on the herbal expertise of Napiers, a Scottish apothecary founded in Edinburgh in 1860. The brand positions itself as the fusion of 150+ years of European herbal tradition with modern Korean skincare technology. Belif's formulations emphasize botanical infusions -- herbs steeped and extracted using traditional apothecary methods -- combined with K-beauty delivery systems. The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb became the brand's breakout product, praised for its intense hydration without heaviness. Belif is sold through Sephora and The Face Shop retail locations.
