Boscia
Boscia was founded in 2002 in Los Angeles, drawing on Japanese botanical traditions and Jojoba-based formulations. The brand uses no artificial fragrances, colors, or parabens, and centers its formulations on plant-based actives including willowherb, jojoba, and charcoal. Boscia gained cult status for its Luminizing Black Charcoal Mask, a peel-off mask that became a social media sensation. The brand positions itself as Japanese-inspired, clean-botanical skincare.
