“Hydrates with aloe extract, flower extract, leaf extract, and stem extracts,Made with grapefruit for brightening,Serum-soaked sheet masque,Face masques designed with specific benefits in mind The Pretty Animalz Shark Character Print sheet mask is enriched with extracts that help hydrate and moisturize your face.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
algae extract, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: algae extract, cyclopentasiloxane.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Epilobium angustifolium flower/leaf/stem extract, Ascophyllum nodosum extract + 3 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (epilobium angustifolium flower/leaf/stem extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
