1. What Makes a Hydrogel Mask?

Material, Structure & Biocrown’s Formulation Advantage: A hydrogel mask is built from a 3D cross-linked gel network that can hold up to 99% water, creating a semi-solid structure that melts slightly on skin temperature. This structure enhances occlusion, pushing active ingredients deeper into the epidermis.

Our formulations typically include:

Natural Polymers: Carrageenan, xanthan gum, konjac glucomannan

Biocompatible Gel Polymers: Hyaluronic acid gel, hydrocolloid-grade polymers

Humectant Phase: Glycerin, glycols for moisture retention

Skin-Repair Actives: Panthenol, allantoin, peptides

Stabilizing System: Calcium ions and gel-setting buffers for firmness & clarity

We design the gel to be elastic, transparent, and cooling, with exceptional serum-holding properties—allowing the mask to slowly release moisture and actives throughout the treatment.

2. Usage & Performance

Hydrogel masks are ideal for: Post-treatment calming (laser, microneedling, sun sensitivity) / Deep hydration & skin barrier restoration / Anti-aging routines requiring intensive absorption / Sensitive skin-friendly care / Evidence-Driven Performance

Hydrogel masks have been widely studied and have shown: Reduced TEWL (water loss) thanks to superior occlusivity / Enhanced delivery of peptides, HA, and brightening actives / Immediate cooling sensation that reduces irritation and redness

Their structure ensures slow-release actives, delivering a more luxurious and effective treatment than conventional sheet masks.
