Formulation view Hydrogel mask thickened with carbomer and hydroxyethyl cellulose, aided by methylpropanediol. Glycerin, trehalose, and hyaluronic acid provide multi-layer hydration; panthenol and allantoin soothe. Red root and lotus extracts offer antioxidants. Preserved with 1,2-hexanediol and phenoxyethanol. Ideal for dehydrated skin. Formulators note strong locking ability, but colorants and fragrance warrant patch testing for sensitive skin.

Ingredients explained
- Aqua
- Solvent, main base; microbial control is critical
- Glycerin
- Workhorse humectant at 3–10%; tacky at high levels, pair with occlusives
- Methylpropanediol
- Diol solvent and extraction carrier; enhances solubility of actives, low irritation profile.
- 1,2-Hexanediol
- Polyol solvent and preservative booster at 1–5%; light feel, can replace some traditional preservatives
- Hydroxyacetophenone
- Hydroxyacetophenone as antioxidant; often boosts Vitamin C, works in acidic pH.
- Panthenol
- Panthenol (vitamin B5) at 1–5%; moisturizing and reparative, supports barrier recovery
- Trehalose
- Trehalose; mild humectant and stabilizer for proteins/actives; hygroscopic, light skin feel.
- Allantoin
- Skin soother at 0.5-2%; promotes cell regeneration
- PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil
- Non-ionic emulsifier and solubilizer at 1–5%; contains PEG, check acid compatibility and sensitive skin irritation
- Carbomer
- Gelling thickener requiring neutralization; watch out for ion compatibility
- Hydroxyethylcellulose
- Water-soluble cellulose ether for thickening and suspension stabilization; sensitive to ions, electrolytes reduce viscosity, use at pH 7-8.
- Tromethamine
- pH adjuster, alkaline; precise dosing required
- Butylene Glycol
- Polyol humectant and solvent at 1–5%; aids solubilization, light feel
- Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract
- Imperata root extract; traditional TCM ingredient for skin conditioning. No public data on irritancy or comedogenicity.
- Disodium EDTA
- Chelating agent at 0.05–0.5%; sequesters metal ions for stability, boosts preservative efficacy
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Potent humectant at 0.1–2%; different MW for penetration depth, high levels may draw moisture
- Parfum
- Fragrance for scent; may contain allergens, caution for sensitive skin, full labeling required.
- PEG-8
- Not decoded yet
- Nelumbo Nucifera Root Extract
- Lotus root extract with polysaccharides; used for soothing and conditioning; generally safe at low concentrations.
