SKINFOOD Lavender Food Mask

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-10-02

What is this product?

Skinfood's Lavender Food Mask (120 g, sold on the brand's own mall) is a rinse-off hydrating gel mask with a fragrance entry, built on water, glycerin, butylene glycol, panthenol and three gelling polymer entries. Its 21-entry list prints lavender flower water at 5,250 ppm and lavender flower at 3,000 ppm, a hibiscus ferment filtrate and dill extract, two color additives and no oil, silicone or exfoliating acid entry. The brand cites a 2023 human-use test whose bar charts do not match their own labels, a 100 percent satisfaction line with no respondent number, and a 2020 irritation certificate that does check out against its own table.

What makes it different?

Printed 5,250 ppm lavender flower water and 3,000 ppm lavender flower on a humectant and gel polymer base with no oils, backed by a brand test whose charts do not reconcile and a 2020 irritation certificate that does.
