Torriden BALANCEFUL Mask

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-21

What is this product?

Torriden BALANCEFUL Mask is a Korean cica sheet mask, 25 ml of essence per sheet, sold in a ten sheet pack. Its Korean statutory ingredient list and the brand's English list both run 33 entries in the same order, and five centella derived entries sit together at positions 7 through 11: centella asiatica extract, madecassic acid, asiaticoside, asiatic acid and madecassoside. Panthenol is disclosed at 2,000ppm and asiaticoside at 2,050ppb. There is no fragrance entry, no denatured alcohol and no essential oil in either list. There is also no occlusive, no oil and no wax, so hydration is front loaded and needs a cream over it to hold. The brand cites a repeat insult patch test on 50 people and two infrared redness studies on 20 people each, none with a named institution or a linked report.

What makes it different?

Five centella derived entries in an unbroken run at positions 7 through 11, with two of the actives carrying disclosed levels, panthenol at 2,000ppm and asiaticoside at 2,050ppb, while the other 31 entries disclose nothing. Against that, the formula carries no occlusive at all, so it is a calming step rather than a moisture sealing one.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

Key ingredient

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: 폴리글리세릴-4올리에이트
