Cell Fusion C Cica Cooling Mask

What is this product?

A cooling sheet mask from the Korean brand Cell Fusion C, sold as a box of five 27 g sheets on the brand's own storefront. The 33 entry essence is water, glycerin and four centella extracts with the centella triterpenes madecassoside, asiaticoside, madecassic acid and asiatic acid, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, betaine, a peptide and mushroom and yeast extracts, thickened by polymers. The cooling comes from a non menthol cooling agent. No fragrance entry, essential oil, alcohol entry or oil is printed. The brand reports a 4.5 degree skin temperature drop and a 26 percent soothing improvement from tests on 21 adults, without naming the product tested. No English ingredient list appears on the surfaces collected. No lived use reports were collected.

What makes it different?

Next to the brand's other landed cooling sheet mask, which prints a fragrance entry, adenosine and ceramide NP and no centella, this mask prints no fragrance entry and builds on four centella extracts and four centella triterpenes, while using the same non menthol cooling agent. A brand scan found 23 landed records for this brand besides this one. The trade-offs: no oil or butter to seal hydration in, and test figures whose footnotes do not name the product tested.
