A Complete Guide to Face Masks: Types, Benefits & How to Choose
For Private label and OEM Partners Looking to Develop Their Next Best-Selling Skincare Product
Face masks have evolved from a consumer indulgence to a must-have product category in every skincare line.
At Biocrown, we combine over 48 years of skincare manufacturing experience with advanced R&D capabilities to help global partners launch innovative face mask collections efficiently and safely.
For brands and contract manufacturers seeking to develop or expand their face-mask line, here’s a complete guide…
●Face Mask Market Outlook: A Growing Private-Label Opportunity
The global face mask market continues to expand, driven by rising consumer awareness of hydration, anti-aging, and clean beauty.
In the post-pandemic era, consumers seek both efficacy and comfort—preferring products that deliver instant skin benefits while fitting into fast-paced lifestyles.
The sheet mask segment is projected to grow over 6% CAGR (2025–2030), with private label brands gaining traction due to flexibility and speed-to-market.
●Main Types of Face Masks and Their OEM Considerations
Different mask types serve different purposes—and for brand developers, they also mean varying formulation, material sourcing, and production processes.
(1) Sheet Masks – The Bestselling Global Category
Made from non-woven, Tencel, hydrogel, or bio-cellulose fabrics.
Delivers intensive hydration and nutrients in one application.
Compatible with various actives: hyaluronic acid, peptides, niacinamide, botanical extracts.
OEM Benefit: Easy to customize serum formula, fabric type, and packaging (single sachet, boxed sets).
(2) Peel-Off & Wash-Off Masks – For Deep-Cleansing and Spa Lines
Common bases: clay, charcoal, alginate, or fruit acids.
Targets sebum control, pore cleansing, and skin renewal.
OEM Consideration: Requires formula stability testing and viscosity control; often paired with premium packaging (tubes, jars).
(3) Sleeping Masks – For Overnight Recovery
Gel or cream textures that support moisture retention and skin barrier repair.
Formulation tip: Combine humectants (glycerin, HA) with lipid-repair agents (ceramides, squalane).
OEM/ODM Edge: High repeat-use product with long shelf visibility and strong consumer loyalty.
●Key Ingredients that Enhance Mask Performance
●Materials and Fabric Technology in Sheet Masks
Choosing the right mask fabric is as critical as the serum itself.
●How to Choose the Right Mask for Your Brand
When developing a new mask product, consider:
Target market and skin concern (hydration, anti-aging, soothing, brightening).
Texture and user experience (gel, cream, sheet).
Brand positioning (eco-friendly, medical-grade, spa-luxury).
MOQ and cost per unit based on desired packaging and ingredients.
