Base & Hydration Ingredients
Water (Aqua) (55-60%): Main solvent, provides a lightweight base for the essence.
Glycerin (8-10%): Plant-derived humectant, attracts air moisture to the skin, reducing surface dryness.
Butylene Glycol (6-8%): Auxiliary moisturizer and solvent, enhances essence stability and penetration.
Sea Water (Maris Aqua) (5-7%): Rich in minerals (sodium, magnesium), balances skin electrolytes, relieves tightness.
Dipropylene Glycol (3-5%): Viscosity adjuster, keeps the essence smooth and easy to absorb.
Core Hydration & Barrier Ingredients
Spirulina Platensis (Blue Algae) Extract (7-9%): Blue algae extract, replenishes amino acids and polysaccharides, deeply hydrates from the root.
Sodium Hyaluronate (2-3%): High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, forms a moisture-locking film on the skin surface.
Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer (1.5-2.5%): Cross-linked hyaluronic acid, extends moisture retention time (up to 72h).
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid (1-2%): Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid, penetrates deep into the skin to replenish moisture.
Acetylated Sodium Hyaluronate (0.8-1.2%): Acetylated hyaluronic acid, enhances skin absorption and long-lasting hydration.
Panthenol (1-2%): Vitamin B5, soothes dry, irritated skin, improves skin barrier function.
Auxiliary Soothing & Moisturizing Ingredients
Allantoin (0.5-1%): Soothing agent, calms sensitive skin, accelerates the repair of dry micro-damage.
Betaine (1-1.5%): Natural humectant, derived from sugar beets, relieves dehydration-induced tightness.
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (0.3-0.5%): Licorice extract, soothes redness caused by dryness, reduces irritation.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (0.2-0.4%): Green tea extract, provides antioxidant protection, prevents moisture loss from environmental damage.
Stabilizers & Preservatives
1,2-Hexanediol (2-3%): Auxiliary preservative and solvent, mild and non-irritating, suitable for sensitive skin.
Ethylhexylglycerin (0.3-0.5%): Enhances preservative efficacy, adds mild moisture to the skin.
Phenoxyethanol (0.4-0.6%): Mild preservative, compliant with KFDA safety standards, safe for sensitive skin.
Disodium EDTA (0.1-0.2%): Chelating agent, stabilizes the formula, prevents ingredient oxidation and discoloration.
Membrane & Texture Enhancers
Xanthan Gum (0.1-0.2%): Thickener, adjusts the essence’s consistency to match the biocellulose membrane’s absorption capacity.
Citric Acid (0.05-0.1%): pH adjuster, balances the essence’s pH to 5.0-6.0 (matches skin’s natural pH, avoiding irritation).

1. Prep Before Application
Gentle cleansing: Use a mild, non-foaming cleanser to wash the face (avoid over-cleansing, which worsens dehydration), then pat dry with a clean microfiber towel (do not rub—prevents skin irritation).
Toner prep: Apply an alcohol-free, hydrating toner to open the skin’s moisture channels—this helps the mask’s essence penetrate deeper.
2. Application Steps
Unfold the mask: Tear open the individual package, take out the biocellulose mask (remove the inner protective film—there are 2 layers, keep the middle membrane), and unfold it carefully (avoid stretching the thin membrane).
Apply to face: Align the mask with the eye, nose, and mouth areas, then press gently from the center of the face outward to remove air bubbles—ensure the mask adheres tightly to the skin (no gaps).
Leave on: Keep the mask on for 15-20 minutes (do not exceed 20 minutes—overuse may cause reverse moisture loss).
Absorb remaining essence: Remove the mask, then pat the remaining essence on the face and neck with fingertips until fully absorbed (no need to rinse—follow with moisturizer to lock in moisture).
3. Tips for Specific Scenarios
Emergency hydration (before makeup): Use the mask 30 minutes before applying makeup—after absorbing the essence, apply a light moisturizer, then foundation. This prevents cakey makeup and keeps skin dewy all day.
Air-conditioner dryness: Use 1 mask every 2 days—focus on the cheeks and forehead (areas most affected by dry air) to maintain skin moisture.
Post-sun repair: After cooling the skin with cold water, apply the mask to soothe sun-induced dehydration and redness (the cool membrane and hydrating essence relieve discomfort quickly).
General Precautions
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and high temperatures (e.g., do not leave in a car or near heaters): Sunlight degrades hyaluronic acid and blue algae extract; high heat damages the biocellulose membrane.
Do not reuse the mask: The used mask contains bacteria and depleted essence—reuse may cause skin breakouts or irritation.
Avoid using on broken, peeling, or infected skin: The essence may irritate damaged skin and worsen inflammation.
If itching, burning, or redness occurs, stop using immediately and consult a dermatologist.
