BAEGAYUL Moisture Balancing Mask

What is this product?

A Korean sheet mask from BAEGAYUL, sold as ten individually packed sheets holding 27ml of essence each. The essence is entirely water phase: water, dipropylene glycol, glycerin, 1,2-hexanediol, sodium hyaluronate and betaine take the first six of 40 slots, and there is no oil, wax or emulsifier anywhere on the label. Slots 7 through 39 carry 26 extracts, which is the brand's headline and also its one accuracy problem, since two of those 26 are a fungus and a bee resin rather than plants. No fragrance ingredient, no alcohol and no essential oil is declared. The brand markets it for sensitive skin, but the pages read for this entry carry no irritation test, no subject count and no institution, so that framing rests on what the label omits rather than on a result.

What makes it different?

The label is 65 percent extracts by item count, 26 of 40, run against a plain six ingredient humectant base with nothing oily to carry them. That inverts the usual hydrating sheet mask shape, where a short botanical list rides on a longer functional one. The second differentiator is what the brand does not print: no concentration for any of the 40 items, and no tolerance test behind a sensitive skin badge.
