What does the product description say?

"Bubblesheet™ Oxygenating Deep Cleanse Mask"

From product name

WIMJ summary

This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (cocamidopropyl betaine, disodium cocoamphodiacetate, hexylene glycol, lauryl glucoside, potassium cocoate, potassium cocoyl glycinate) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.

Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: cocamidopropyl betaine

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
lauryl glucoside	HIGH
potassium cocoate	HIGH
potassium cocoyl glycinate	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: hydroxyethyl urea.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
hydroxyethyl urea	HIGH
retinyl palmitate	LOW
allantoin	LOW

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	5.9% - 8.9%
methyl perfluorobutyl ether	4.1% - 6.2%
acrylates copolymer Used to stabilize product formulation, help create an even product layer over skin (for example, in sunscreen) and create a thicker product consistency	2.7% - 4%
cocamidopropyl betaine Helps water and oil mix together. Used as a cleansing ingredient. Could be an allergen	2.7% - 4%
disodium cocoamphodiacetate Helps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent	1.7% - 2.5%
lauryl glucoside Helps oil and water mix together	1.4% - 2.1%
retinyl palmitate Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect	1.2% - 1.7%
allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated	1% - 1.5%
arginine An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin	0.6% - 1.35%
camellia sinensis leaf extract Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation	0.45% - 1.1%
helianthus annuus seed oil A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function	0.35% - 0.85%
ascorbyl glucoside A vitamin C derivative that is more stable but less potent than pure form of vitamin C. Has a potential to boost collagen production, nutralise free radicals and reduce hyperpigmentation, but the required concentration is likely to be much higher than for the pure form of vitamin C, limiting the ingredient's effectiveness in products	0.15% - 0.7%
ethylhexylglycerin A preservative	0.15% - 0.6%
ceramide np A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin	0.15% - 0.65%
sodium pca Naturally present in skin and helps to attract water to its upper layer	0.15% - 0.55%
sea salt Used to thicken the product formulation and might help to add minerals to the surface of the skin. It is used in scrubs as a physical exfoliant. Can increase sensitivity to other ingredients if left on the skin or used in high concentration	0.15% - 0.5%
saccharide isomerate Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.15% - 0.55%
polyquaternium-10 Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product finish	0.15% - 0.6%
potassium cocoyl glycinate	0.1% - 0.45%
potassium cocoate Helps oil and water mix together and works as a cleansing agent	0.1% - 0.45%
hexylene glycol Helps create a more spreadable product texture	0.1% - 0.3%
butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin	0.05% - 0.3%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.1% - 0.3%
hydroxyethyl urea A derivative of urea, a compound that is naturally present in skin. Attracts water to the upper layer of the skin. Can enhance penetration of other ingredients	0.1% - 0.35%
citrus limon peel oil A highly irritating fragrance	0.05% - 0.25%
limonene A common frangrance that can easily irritate skin, especially if exposed to air, light or heat	0.05% - 0.2%
citral A fragrance with a lemon scent. A likely irritant	0.05% - 0.15%
sodium citrate Helps to control the skin's pH level. Maintains the skin's natural film of amino-lactic acids and oils. Helps to preserve products	0.05% - 0.15%
disodium edta Stabilizes the product formulation	0.01% - 0.1%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.05% - 0.1%
