Polysaccharide: "Natural component of skin that can be a good water-binding agent and potentially have antioxidant properties.” Cosmetic Ingredient Guidebook, Paula Begoun. Rated “BEST” among cosmetic ingredients on http://www.paulaschoice.com

​

Different from the traditional jelly mask (or called collagen mask) where synthetic Carbopol / Carbomer is added to create a jelly-like substance, our mask consists of naturally extracted polysaccharides which are the sugar molecules that create the moisture binding gel-like substance. These sugar molecules can bind up to 1,000 times their weight in moisture and are responsible for the skin’s hydration.

​

The mask contains positively charged polysaccharides. After making contact with the skin, the chemical bonds of polysaccharides will be broken. Afterwards, a positively charged polysaccharide will be attached to a nutrient molecule. Moreover, positively charged polysaccharides have a special characteristic; that is, they can cause water or nutrients to be transported one way. Therefore, the re-absorption of the water and nutrients back to the masks does not happen in our face mask.
