Question
Could you please tell me what are the ingredients in a facial mask that is a white powder and turns into a clear gel when water is added?
Answer
White Powder Mask that Becomes Clear Gel
The white powder mask that turns into a clear gel when mixed with water is typically a type of mask base containing gelling agents. These agents react with water to form the gel texture suitable for facial masks.
Common ingredients found in such mask bases that help create this gel consistency include:
- Algin: Derived from seaweed, it forms a gel when combined with calcium ions.
- Chondrus Crispus Extract: Also known as Carrageenan, another seaweed extract used as a gelling and thickening agent.
- Gelatin: A protein derived from collagen, forming a gel when dissolved in hot water and cooled.
Products like a Crystal Mask Base are examples of formulations designed to create a transparent, glass-like gel mask when mixed with water and allowed to set.
