The longest lists
Masks for sensitive skin
The shelf that most rewards reading the list rather than the front of the pack. More of these masks leave fragrance off the list than of any other skin type in the catalogue - and they also carry the longest ingredient lists on the site, running a couple of entries above the catalogue's median. A formula built for easily-irritated skin tends to be longer here, not shorter.

Prices are indicative, captured once from the source recorded on each product page, and they drift. 20 of the 69 per-use figures are estimated from pack size at a typical application rather than counted off a sheet count.
The cheapest application here is Balea Gesichtsmaske Aloe Vera €0.23, 21 entries and the dearest Dr. Barbara Sturm Face Mask ≈€10.00, 18 entries.
“Masks for sensitive skin” means we grouped these masks for sensitive skin, read from what each sets out to do and what its formula suggests - not a phrase copied off the pack, and not advice that any of them will suit your skin. What is counted below is the ingredient list.
The short read
At the longest median list of any skin type in the catalogue, reaching for gentleness tends to add ingredients rather than remove them. The table of all eight below is where that ordering can be checked.
The grouping is ours: a mask is here because its purpose and formula point at easily-irritated skin, not because we found the words “for sensitive skin” on the box.
The highest fragrance-free share of any skin type in the catalogue - but a substantial minority still print a fragrance, so the shelf is far from uniformly unscented. Read the row rather than the heading.
Very few of these masks carry a drying alcohol, and rather fewer than the catalogue's share carry something the encyclopaedia flags to check in pregnancy. Both are readings of 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 a mask is for. These are the entries that appear far more often on this shelf than across the 219 masks as a whole, counted by encyclopaedia entry rather than by printed name.
- Well tolerated
- No meaningful concern for most people; irritation is possible but rare.

Names without a link have no encyclopaedia entry yet, so we make no claim about them beyond the count.
The eight skin types side by side
The dataset sorts masks into 8 skin types, and 4 have a page of their own. The others each cover so much of the catalogue that a page over one of them would be the catalogue with a new heading rather than an analysis - the ceiling is 50% and the build enforces it. The ones with a page are those a filter cannot summarise. Every figure here is counted across all of them, so the superlatives above are scoped to something you can check.
| Skin type | Masks | Median per use | Median list | Fragrance-free |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dryno page | 14466% | €1.85 | 28 | 49 of 144 |
| Dehydratedno page | 15973% | €1.95 | 28 | 57 of 159 |
| Oily | 7434% | €1.64 | 23 | 30 of 74 |
| Combinationno page | 14968% | €1.85 | 26 | 59 of 149 |
| Normalno page | 18785% | €1.85 | 27 | 64 of 187 |
| Sensitive | 6932% | €1.86 | 29 | 38 of 69 |
| Acne-prone | 4018% | €1.70 | 23 | 22 of 40 |
| Mature | 5726% | €1.99 | 28 | 18 of 57 |
A mask can be grouped for more than one skin type, so the columns do not sum to 219. Dehydrated skin is derived from what a mask does rather than authored, because an oily face can be dehydrated too.
What these labels print
Seven readings of the ingredient list, each counted the same way across this shelf and across the whole catalogue, so the second column is the baseline the first is worth reading against. Every one of them is a statement about what is printed on a pack - not about what a mask does, and not a verdict on any of them. The pregnancy flag in particular is a reason to read a list rather than a warning: it marks a mask carrying something the encyclopaedia says to check, which is a different thing from a mask being unsafe.
| Reading | Here | Catalogue |
|---|---|---|
| Fragrance-free | 38 of 6955% | 80 of 21937% |
| No essential oil | 55 of 6980% | 182 of 21983% |
| No drying alcohol | 59 of 6986% | 173 of 21979% |
| Nothing flagged in pregnancy | 50 of 6972% | 147 of 21967% |
| Prints parfum | 24 of 6935% | 120 of 21955% |
| Names an allergen | 21 of 6930% | 81 of 21937% |
| Recorded vegan | 21 of 6930% | 60 of 21927% |
Vegan status is unrecorded for 44 of the 69 masks here, so that row counts only the packs where we found it stated - unrecorded is not the same as not vegan. How far into a list we can read is its own reading: the encyclopaedia has an entry for a median of 83% of each list here, against 82% across the catalogue. The rest is printed in names the site cannot yet decode, and an undecoded name is one we make no claim about either way - what we do not know.
Which formats these are
A format is the plainest thing about a mask that is not on its ingredient list - what you buy it in and how you use it - and it explains a good deal of what the readings above look like. A shelf of pots and tubes carries longer, oilier lists than a shelf of sachets, and its price per use is worked out rather than counted.

Formats without a link have too few masks in the catalogue to carry a page of their own.
