The single-use half
Korean brands
Seventy-five masks from 27 brands, and the group that behaves least like the rest of the catalogue: 56 of the 75 are sheets or hydrogels, formats you use once and throw away. The lists run longer than the catalogue's - a median of 30 entries against 26 - and cost more per application, at €2.28 against €1.75. They are also, by some distance, the quietest labels here for anyone reading for fragrance.

Prices are indicative, captured once from the source recorded on each product page, and they drift. 19 of the 75 per-use figures are estimated from pack size at a typical application rather than counted off a sheet count.
“Korean brands” means the brand is based in South Korea. It is not a claim about where the mask was manufactured - that is not printed on most packs, and we do not record it.
The short read
Adenosine is on 25 of the 75. In the rest of the catalogue it appears twice, on 128 masks - the closest thing to a fingerprint any origin here has.
Forty-four of the 75 are fragrance-free, against 33 of the other 128. Thirteen declare a fragrance allergen by name on the label, against 57 elsewhere.
Dipropylene glycol is on 40 of the 75 and on 8 of the other 128. Polyglyceryl-10 laurate, ceramide NP and dipotassium glycyrrhizate follow the same pattern at roughly twice their catalogue share.
Twenty-six times separates the cheapest use from the dearest - €0.30 for a Benton Aloe Soothing sheet, €7.94 for an Anua Heartleaf collagen mask - and both figures are counted off a sheet count rather than estimated.
Sixty-nine of the 75 are free of a drying alcohol. Thirty-five carry at least one ingredient the encyclopaedia flags in pregnancy, the largest share of the three origins here, and the flag is a reason to read the list rather than a verdict on the mask.
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.
- Well tolerated

Names without a link have no encyclopaedia entry yet, so we make no claim about them beyond the count.
The three side by side
Only three of the eleven origins in the catalogue clear 13 masks, which is the floor at which a page says something a filter could not. The other eight - Japan with 6, the US with 5, Poland with 4, Great Britain with 3, and one mask each from Australia, Latvia, Austria and Malta - stay in the catalogue and out of this table, because a median over one product is not a median.
