Abib Mild acidic pH sheet mask Heartleaf fit(10 sheets)

What is this product?

A single-use soothing sheet mask from the Korean brand Abib, sold as one sheet or a ten sheet pack, holding 30 ml of a water based essence per sheet. Twenty nine ingredients with no oil phase at all: water, four glycols, ten plant extracts led by houttuynia cordata extract at a disclosed 8,900 ppm, four isolated centella compounds, allantoin and licorice root extract for calming, a urea humectant, two polyglyceryl solubilisers, a carbomer and xanthan gum thickener pair with its neutraliser, caffeine and a chelator. No fragrance entry, no essential oil, no exfoliating acid and no drying alcohol, the two acid entries on the list being centella triterpene acids, and the Korean product information table files no functional cosmetic claim. The brand publishes a cooling panel with an institution, a two day window and 21 subjects, and a primary irritation test with an institution and no result. Suits reactive or congested skin wanting a calm, unscented sheet step; dry skin needs a cream over it, the label says to avoid the eye area, and the sheet itself is stated to be made with bamboo fabric and egg white albumin.

What makes it different?

The level is printed. Houttuynia cordata extract carries 8,900 ppm on the brand's own label, which is 0.89 percent, and it is the only entry on the list with any figure beside it; the same brand's other heartleaf sheet product publishes 60 ppm for that material in its own record. The second difference is the sheet rather than the essence: the brand states the fabric is bamboo with egg white albumin, which is a material statement printed on the same page as the ingredient list and which matters to anyone avoiding egg.
