Overview
Cos De BAHA is a skincare brand that, by its own account, was established in 2019 as a Korean label and is manufactured in South Korea [1]. It is built around high-potency, single-active formulas — serums, toners and creams sold at low prices — and reached most of its customers through online retail rather than physical stores. The brand remains active, with product and label notices posted on its site as recently as May 2025 [3].
The company describes a dual identity that is worth stating plainly. Its About Us page calls it "a Korean skincare brand established in 2019" and points to manufacturing in South Korea, while the same page also notes that co-founder Sung Il Park launched the products on Amazon's American marketplace and holds the brand's trademark rights in the United States [1]. A Justia trademark record lists the owner as Park, Sung Il, corroborating that US connection. The brand's stated country of origin is therefore South Korea, with the commercial launch and trademark based in the United States.

Origin and founders
According to its About Us page, Cos De BAHA was co-founded by Sung Il Park and Jun Won Lee [1]. The company frames its origin around a stated commitment to quality and affordability, and says production is handled by a specialised skincare manufacturer in South Korea with more than 30 years of industry experience [1]. Park is credited with starting the brand's commercial journey on the American Amazon platform and with maintaining its US trademark [1].
Philosophy and positioning
Cos De BAHA positions itself around high-potency actives at accessible prices. The company states a mission to "offer high-potency skincare products designed to effectively maintain and manage clean and healthy skin at reasonable prices," and describes new releases as the outcome of ongoing research [1]. The two values it names most directly are quality and affordability [1]. Across its site the brand uses the header "Korean Skin Care," and its products are described in plain functional terms rather than as a lifestyle range.
Products
The range is organised into three core categories — serums, toners and creams — with individual products generally built around a named active ingredient or a stated concentration [1]. Hero ingredients featured by the brand include hyaluronic acid (listed at 10,000 ppm), a peptide complex combining Matrixyl 3000 and Argireline, niacinamide, retinol, azelaic acid, glycolic acid, vitamin B5 (D-panthenol) and tranexamic acid [2]. Marketing descriptors used on the site include "alcohol free" and "gluten free" [2]. The single-active, concentration-led approach mirrors a wider movement in affordable skincare toward transparent, ingredient-first labelling.
Distribution
The brand reaches customers primarily through online retail. Its founding account centres on the launch via Amazon's US marketplace [1], and the brand also references authorised distributors alongside its own site. This direct-to-consumer model, rather than a department-store or pharmacy presence, is consistent with its indie scale.
Current status
Cos De BAHA is active. Its news section carries regular operational notices — ingredient adjustments, label corrections and packaging updates — the most recent dated 16 May 2025, concerning a change to its GS Toner [3]. The volume of older posts indicates sustained activity rather than a one-off launch. No Wikipedia entry or major editorial profile of the brand was found, and third-party coverage is limited to review aggregators and independent review blogs, consistent with a small, internationally distributed indie label.
