The longest lists
Hydrogel masks
The dearest use of the five formats here, and the longest ingredient lists in the catalogue: a median of €4.43 a sheet against €1.75 for the catalogue as a whole, and 35 entries against 26. Much of that extra length is the gel itself - a handful of names the rest of the catalogue barely prints. Fifteen of the 24 are Korean, and this is the calmest of the five formats here for anyone reading for fragrance.

The short read
The most expensive per use of the five formats here, at a median of €4.43, and the longest lists in the catalogue at a median of 35 ingredients against 26.
Carob gum is on 17 of the 24 - and on nothing else in the catalogue. Potassium chloride is on 20 and cellulose gum on 11, both names the rest of the corpus almost never prints.
One of the 24 declares a fragrance allergen. All 24 are free of essential oils and of drying alcohol, the only format here where both are true of every mask in it.
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 a format. 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
- No meaningful concern for most people; irritation is possible but rare.
