Adjusting Setting Time and Incorporating Actives in Ready-Made Masks

Adjusting Mask Setting Time

If your ready-made mask sets too slowly and you want it to set faster, you can achieve this by mixing Peel-Off Mask Base (Opaque White, Fast Setting) with Peel-Off Mask Base (Opaque White, Slow Setting) in your desired ratio. This allows you to customize the setting time to suit your needs.

Incorporating Active Ingredients (e.g., Menthol, B3, B5) Without Clumping

Adding powdered active ingredients like Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide) and Panthenol (Vitamin B5, DL-Panthenol, Powder) directly to the mask powder can lead to uneven distribution and clumping, especially without mixing equipment.

A method to avoid this without using a machine is:

1. Prepare the water you will use to mix the mask according to the recommended ratio for your mask powder.
2. Dissolve the water-soluble active ingredients, such as Safe-B3™ and Panthenol (and water-soluble Menthol, if using), in the prepared water before adding this water to the mask powder.
3. Stir the water and active ingredient mixture until the actives are fully dissolved and the mixture is uniform.
4. Then, gradually pour the water mixture containing the dissolved active ingredients into the mask powder and mix quickly until well combined, as you normally would.

This process ensures that the active ingredients are evenly dispersed in the water before they interact with the mask powder, helping to prevent clumping and resulting in a smoother mask texture without the need for special equipment.
