This product only comes in one shade, a light neutral beige. It claims to self-adjust to your skin tone; however, I think they picked a shade that they thought would fit most skin-tones... it does not match my pale skin. It is too dark and would be even at my tannest.
The texture is light and creamy. It provides good coverage, and I didn't need any extra concealer. By starting at the center of my face and blending outwards, I was able to make it work and I wore it a few times. It took too much effort to warrant a re-purchase. Plus, though Boscia is marketed as a natural company, the list of ingredients just doesn't compare to those in my current foundation by Everyday Minerals.
Overall, I think Boscia B.B. Cream SPF 27 PA++ could be a good pick for someone who is just starting a transition to more natural products (it is formulated without: preservatives, parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances and dyes, petrochemicals, phthalates, GMOs and triclosan) AND has a medium to tan skin tone.

I want to try BB creams but I haven't seen one yet that has clean enough ingredients. Right now I mix loose mineral foundation with my moisturizer to make my own tinted moisturizer.
ReplyDeleteRight,it's hard to find bb creams without glycol or dimethicone in it!I've tried so many bb creams as you can see here,mostly korean products as it's where bb creams craze from:

And now that I try covergirl natureluxe foundation(which i haven't reviewed it),well..this covergirl is better than those bb creams i've tried before.Texture is just the same,even better.So,in my conclusion..bb creams is just a lighter foundation.This boscia sounds nice for those who is in transition.There're many bb creams with worse ingredients out there than this:(..As for me,i'll go for more natural one..
