Luvos-Heilerde face masks

The short read

• Loess is on all 8 lists here and on 11 of the 215 overall; magnesium aluminum silicate on 8 and 12; the iron oxides - CI 77491, 77492 and 77499, which the encyclopaedia holds as one entry - on 8 and 19. Seventeen entries appear on every one of these eight lists, and six of the seventeen are printed on fewer than 25 masks in the whole catalogue.

• Not one of the eight is free of a drying alcohol, against 170 of the 215 across the catalogue: all eight print Alcohol itself. All eight also print linalool by name, and six of the eight add geraniol and limonene to it.

• The median list runs to 29.5 entries against the catalogue's 26, over a range from 27 entries to 63 - and the 63 is a single outlier, with the other seven between 27 and 33.

• A median of 85 cents an application over €0.38 to €1.89, with no estimated figure on the shelf - unusual for a set that is mostly tubes and pots rather than sachets.

• This is the only shelf of the nine built on the clay family, and one of two - with Medicube - holding no sheet mask at all.

What these lists print that others do not

Not the most common ingredients - water is on nearly every list ever written and tells you nothing about who formulated the mask. These are the entries that appear far more often here than across the 215 masks as a whole, counted by encyclopaedia entry rather than by printed name. A shelf this size makes coincidences cheap, so nothing appears below that is on fewer than four of these lists.

Names without a link have no encyclopaedia entry yet, so we make no claim about them beyond the count.

The 9 side by side

9 of the 89 brands in the catalogue hold 5 masks or more, which is the floor at which a shelf says something a filter could not. The other 80 are still in the catalogue and out of this table: 67 of them hold one or two masks, and 50 hold exactly one, and a median over one product is not a median.
