The single-use format
Sheet masks
The largest format in the catalogue, and the one where price tells you least. A sheet is a single use, so what you pay for it is what one application costs - and across this format that runs from a drugstore sachet to a department-store sheet at a figure the ingredient list gives no hint of. Korean brands are a little under half of it. The lists run shorter than the catalogue's median, and they lean on one humectant harder than any other format with a page here does.

Prices are indicative, captured once from the source recorded on each product page, and they drift.
The cheapest application here is Benton Aloe Soothing Mask Pack €0.30, 19 entries and the dearest SK-II Facial Treatment Mask €15.00, 7 entries.
The short read
What an application costs here spans a wider range than on any other format with a page, and nothing on the ingredient lists explains it: the dearest sheet on this page carries a shorter list than the cheapest one. Both are named under the price above, with their lengths.
A sheet is the format where descending order tells you most, because the lists are short enough that the top of one is most of the pack. Where a list is long here, it is long because of the serum rather than the sheet.
The format tells you nothing about fragrance: sheet masks split on it almost exactly as the catalogue does. On the pregnancy flag they sit somewhat below it. Neither is a property of being a sheet - only the list tells you, which is the argument for reading one.
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 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.
What these labels print
Seven readings of the ingredient list, each counted the same way across this format 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 | 33 of 9236% | 80 of 21937% |
| No essential oil | 70 of 9276% | 182 of 21983% |
| No drying alcohol | 79 of 9286% | 173 of 21979% |

| Recorded vegan | 15 of 9216% | 60 of 21927% |
Vegan status is unrecorded for 72 of the 92 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.
Every format side by side
5 of the 10 formats in the catalogue clear 13 masks, which is the floor at which a page says something a filter could not. The rest stay in the catalogue and out of the pages, because a median over one or two products is not a median - and they are exactly what an unscoped superlative loses to, which is why they are in this table rather than left out of it. Every figure here is counted across all of them, so the claims above are scoped to something you can check.

Formats without a link have no page of their own. A median marked ≈ is one where every per-use figure behind it was worked out from pack size rather than counted.
