Not all sheet masks are created equal and no, it’s not just about the scent or packaging.
The material of your mask actually matters a lot. It determines how well your skin absorbs the ingredients, how hydrated you feel afterward, and how eco-friendly your routine is.
Let’s break down the three most common types: Biocellulose, Hydrogel, and Non-woven Sheet Masks. So you can choose the one that suits your skin and your glow goals
1. Biocellulose Masks (BioRepublic’s Signature Material)
What it is:
A 100% natural fiber made from fermented coconut water. Think of it as a second skin, soft, biodegradable, and ultra-absorbent.
Pros:
✔️ Hugs your face like no other, no slipping!
✔️ Delivers ingredients deeply into the skin
✔️ Feels cooling, soothing, and luxurious
✔️ Great for sensitive skin or post-sun repair
✔️ Eco-friendly and biodegradable
Cons:
❌ Slightly pricier than other options
Best for:
✅ Dry, sensitive, irritated or mature skin
✅ After travel, sun, or cosmetic treatments
2. Hydrogel Masks
What it is:
Made from water and gel-forming agents. They look and feel like a jelly sheet cool to the touch and fun to use.
Pros:
✔️ Great instant hydration
✔️ Refreshing and luxe texture
✔️ Usually come in two parts (top & bottom) for better fit
Cons:
❌ Can slip and slide if you’re moving
❌ Not always biodegradable
❌ Less cling = less absorption
Best for:
✅ Dull skin
3. Non-woven Sheet Masks (aka basic sheet masks)
What it is:
Made from cotton or synthetic fibers. They hold essence but dry out more quickly and don’t adhere as well.
Pros:
✔️ Affordable
✔️ Easy to find
✔️ Lightweight
Cons:
❌ Doesn’t stick well to contours
❌ Essence tends to evaporate faster
❌ Feels less luxurious
❌ Not eco-friendly
Best for:
✅ When budget is the priority
Now you know...
Not all sheet masks are created equal and now you can glow smarter, not harder.
Whether you're all about hydration, detox, or post-sun recovery, there’s a mask that fits your skin and your vibe.
