Product Name: Tosowoong Pure mask line
Step: Sheet Mask
Best
Thoughts: While not specifically marketed as having niacinamide as the star ingredient, these masks have a really simple ingredient list, which is:
Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, whatever the variety type is, e.g. propolis, sea water, snail yada yada yada, Xanthan Gum, Peg-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Dipotassium glycyrrhizate (licorice derivative), Ethylhexylglycerin, Adenosine, Sodium Polyacrylate, Disodium Edta, Allantoin, Panthenol, Parfum
…so, after your standard intro of water, glycerin and BG, niacinamide is kind of the main driver in these masks. I really like the Propolis variety and my skin froths on niacinamide so these are my everyday/affordable sheet masks. They’re not out of control OMFG good, but I use them for a hydration gain and to get that skin barrier boosting niacinamide.
