With fragrance, and without
SOME BY MI Daily Beta Panthenol Repair Mask vs SOME BY MI Real Cica Calming Care Mask
Same brand, same format, same stated job - calm irritation and support the barrier. One is fragrance-free and free of essential oils; the other carries eucalyptus and sage oils and a declared fragrance allergen. This is the closest like-for-like the catalogue holds on what fragrancing a soothing mask actually changes about its list.


The short answer
Fourteen entries are common to both, and they are the whole base of the formula: water, glycerin, butylene glycol, propanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, caprylyl glycol, ethylhexylglycerin, allantoin and dipotassium glycyrrhizate among them.
The Real Cica sheet is the one carrying essential oils and a declared allergen. If you are reactive, that single difference is the comparison.
Buying pattern differs as much as the formulas: €19.95 for thirty sheets against €1.55 for one, which is €0.66 a use against €1.55.

14 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.
SOME BY MI Daily Beta Panthenol Repair Mask
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.
Barrier-supporting actives
Contains Niacinamide, Panthenol, Allantoin, ingredients with reasonable evidence for calming and supporting the skin barrier.
SOME BY MI Real Cica Calming Care Mask
1 declared fragrance allergen
EU law requires these to be named on the pack: Eucalyptus Globulus Oil.
3 essential oils
Naturally derived, and a frequent trigger for reactive skin: Eucalyptus Globulus Oil, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Oil, Juniperus Mexicana Oil.
Cooling agents
Eucalyptus Globulus Oil produce a tingle that reads as "working", but they can irritate compromised skin.
2 ingredients flagged for pregnancy
Eucalyptus Globulus Oil, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Oil are 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 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.
Barrier-supporting actives
Contains Centella Asiatica Extract, Allantoin, ingredients with reasonable evidence for calming and supporting the skin barrier.
