What kinds of materials are used for sheet masks? Every company and brand uses a unique type of fabric. Here are the four materials that are mainly used, listed from the first generation to the most recent generation:
.
.
Traditional non-woven fabrics
Flat, porous sheets made directly from separate fibers, molten plastic or plastic film (filters, wipes, diapers, etc. use non-woven fiber)
Inexpensive
Breathable
Limited capacity to deliver serum deeper into the skin
Does not adhere to the face too well, making it difficult to move around in them
Cotton
Natural fiber harvested from cotton plant (clothes, towels, etc. use cotton)
Inexpensive
Soft and breathable
Have better absorption system into the skin compared to non-woven fiber
Does not adhere to the face too well, making it difficult to move around in them
Hydrogel
3D structured biocompatible polymer network (used to treat wounds and skin damage in the medical field)
Great absorption system and provides a cooling effect
Adheres to the face well, making it easy to move around
Not breathable
Generally has a top and bottom part of sheets separately
Chemical during certain types of the hydrogel manufacturing process can irritate skin
Normally expensive
Bio-cellulose
A type of non-woven fabric from microbial cellulose rather than plant based cellulose
Adheres to the skin better than cotton, but still not as good as hydrogel
Great absorption system
Breathable
Easier to move around in than cotton, but less so than hydrogel
Came out after hydrogel to improve on the negative qualities of non-woven fabric, but not as comfortable as hydrogel
Slightly on the expensive side
Ecoderma
The newest generation of fabric for sheet masks developed with advanced technology
A combination of positive attributes from non-woven fabric and natural hydrogel
Breathable
Adheres to the face very well, thus making it easy to move around
Absorbs serum deeper into skin
Safe and comfortable on skin
Expensive

ORGAID proudly uses Ecoderma, which is patented from our partner company. After all, even though the serum may be of great quality, the sheet also needs to be of similar quality in order for the serum to be effectively delivered into the deeper part of your skin.
