What types of mask materials are there?

There are six most common types of facial masks based on their materials. Including: silk mask, biofiber mask, cotton mask, polyester mask, blended mask, Tencel mask.

1. Silk mask: The cocoon is a sphere composed of silk. The connecting substance between the silk threads is active silk protein, which accounts for about 25%. When the silk protein is peeled off, what remains is silk fiber. The main raw materials of silk mask are silk fiber and active silk protein.

2. Bio-fiber mask: Bio-fiber mask is a type of facial mask, which is made from fibers naturally fermented from Acetobacter xylinum. It has functions similar to skin, can transmit oxygen and isolate bacteria, and can be used as a covering for burns and scalds. It is a nano-scale organic fiber derived from a rigorous fermentation process.

What material is better for facial mask?

1 Non-woven mask

Advantages: The most important patch-type mask is of course the non-woven mask. The texture of the non-woven mask is more uniform and soft, and it is also a better choice in terms of skin moisture locking. High-end non-woven masks are 2.5 to 3 times more moisturizing and skin-adhering than ordinary non-woven masks, and are called "super filament patch masks."

Disadvantages: Insufficient breathability. If the amount of essence is small, the corners will curl up and cannot fit completely.

Cost performance: High

2 Organic Cotton Mask

Advantages: The mask is made of 100% pure cotton and has strong water absorption, and the use of organic raw materials can reduce irritation to the skin.

Disadvantages: Pure cotton mask paper is easy to tear and easily damaged during pulling.

Cost performance: General

3. Pulp Mask

Advantages: Pulp mask is made of natural fiber extracted from plants. It is less irritating and more environmentally friendly. More importantly, because the internal gaps of the mask paper are relatively large, it can better absorb the essence and effectively moisturize.

Disadvantages: The mask paper is too thin, the fibers are not fine enough, and you need to be careful about the problem of excessive preservatives.

Cost performance: Low

4 Lace Mask

Advantages: Lace mask has better elasticity, can fit closely to the skin, and has a lifting and firming effect when applied on the face.

Disadvantages: high cost, relatively high product price; and it is a disposable consumable and not environmentally friendly.

Cost performance: Low

5. Biofiber Mask

Advantages: The mask is made of fiber components produced by microbial metabolism, with strong tension and good elasticity. In addition, its water absorption, skin-fitting properties and affinity with the skin are the highest among patch-type masks.

Disadvantages: Derived from medical supplies, the cost is relatively high.

Cost performance: General

6. Silk Mask

Advantages: The mask is made of natural silk, which has a similar structure to human skin. It fits the skin texture more closely and can effectively penetrate the essence.

Disadvantages: The carrying capacity of the essence is limited. When using it, some will be left in the bag and some will flow down the neck.

Cost performance: General
