The price question

Benton Aloe Soothing Mask Pack vs SK-II Facial Treatment Mask

Two sheet masks, both aimed at hydration, fifty times apart on what one use costs. The SK-II list runs to seven entries and puts galactomyces ferment filtrate second; the Benton runs to nineteen and opens with aloe leaf water declared at 48%, ahead of water itself. Neither list mentions the price, which is exactly why they are worth reading next to each other.

The short answer

€0.30 a sheet against €15.00 a sheet. Across every pair of sheet masks on this site, that is the widest gap in price per use there is.
They have three ingredients in common: water, butylene glycol and xanthan gum. Everything else on either list is its own.
Both are fragrance-free with no declared allergens, so the difference in price is not buying a cleaner allergen profile.

Prices are indicative, captured once from the source recorded on each product page, and they drift. Per-use figures marked ≈ are estimated from the pack size at a typical application rather than counted off a sheet count.

3 ingredients in common

Masks aimed at the same thing usually share most of their base - water, a humectant, a thickener, a preservative system - and differ further down, below the ≈1% line. Counted by encyclopaedia entry, not by printed row: several printed names can resolve to one substance.

What stands out in each list

Worked out from the ingredients by matching them against the encyclopaedia, not from the packaging claims - so a brand cannot earn a kinder summary with better marketing.

Benton Aloe Soothing Mask Pack

No fragrance or declared allergens
Nothing in the list is Parfum/Fragrance or an EU-declared fragrance allergen.
No drying alcohol
No ethanol, alcohol denat. or isopropyl alcohol in the list. Fatty alcohols such as cetearyl alcohol are not drying and do not count.
Nothing flagged for pregnancy
No ingredient on this list is one our encyclopaedia marks as avoided or used with caution in pregnancy. That is not the same as a clearance, so check with your midwife or doctor.

SK-II Facial Treatment Mask

1 ingredient flagged for pregnancy
Sodium Salicylate is usually avoided or used with caution during pregnancy. This is what the ingredient entries say, not medical advice, so ask your midwife or doctor.
No fragrance or declared allergens
Nothing in the list is Parfum/Fragrance or an EU-declared fragrance allergen.
No drying alcohol
No ethanol, alcohol denat. or isopropyl alcohol in the list. Fatty alcohols such as cetearyl alcohol are not drying and do not count.
Short list - 7 ingredients
Fewer ingredients means fewer things to react to, and makes it easier to work out what caused a reaction if you do.
