Buy Original Haarlem Oil: a Dutch remedy since 1596
Original Haarlem Oil by Be-Life combines three natural ingredients — bioavailable sulphur, pine turpentine essence and linseed oil — in a formula with an exceptional heritage. Available at our Paris shop, with Click & Collect and delivery across France and Europe.
A remedy born in 1596
Haarlem oil originated in 1596 in the Dutch city of Haarlem, developed by a school of alchemists who succeeded in grafting sulphur onto conifer terpenes — the first known semi-synthesis of a natural product. For centuries, this oil was a favourite remedy among European physicians. Today, Be-Life continues this tradition with the original Dr Lefevre formula, encapsulated for easy daily use.
Joint comfort, liver wellbeing and respiratory support
Sulphur is an essential building block of cartilage, tendons and connective tissue; the bioavailable sulphur in Haarlem oil is traditionally used to support joint flexibility and comfortable movement, valued by active people, athletes and older adults alike. Sulphur also plays a recognised role in the body’s natural detoxification processes, particularly at the liver, and Haarlem oil has traditionally been used as part of liver-support and drainage routines. The pine turpentine essence, combined with bioavailable sulphur, is traditionally used to support respiratory comfort during more demanding seasons.
How to use
Take 1 to 2 capsules per day with a large glass of water, ideally 15 minutes before meals. For best results, follow a course of at least 3 weeks, repeatable as needed with a break between courses.

Keep out of reach of children. Store in a dry place, away from light and heat, between 15 and 25°C. Food supplement — not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
