The longest lists

Masks for sensitive skin

Sixty-six masks we group for sensitive skin, and the shelf that most rewards reading the list rather than the front of the pack. More than half - 37 of the 66 - are fragrance-free, the largest such share of any skin type in the catalogue. Yet these also carry the longest ingredient lists on the site, a median of 28.5 entries against 26 for the catalogue as a whole, so 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. 18 of the 66 per-use figures are estimated from pack size at a typical application rather than counted off a sheet count.

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 a median of 28.5 entries these are the longest lists of any skin type in the catalogue. Reaching for gentleness tends to add ingredients rather than remove them.

  • 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.

  • Thirty-seven of the 66 are fragrance-free, the highest share of any skin type here - but 29 still print a fragrance, so the shelf is far from uniformly unscented.

  • Only 9 of the 66 carry a drying alcohol, and 15 an ingredient the encyclopaedia flags to check in pregnancy - both 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 215 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.
What the levels mean ↗

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 eight skin types, but only four have a page of their own. Normal, dehydrated, combination and dry each cover most of the catalogue - a page over two-thirds of the masks is the catalogue with a new heading, not an analysis. The four with a page are the ones a filter cannot summarise. Every figure here is counted across all eight, so the superlatives above are scoped honestly.

A mask can be grouped for more than one skin type, so the columns do not sum to 215. Dehydrated skin is derived from what a mask does rather than authored, because an oily face can be dehydrated too.
