Our 2-in-1 Hydrating Face Mask & Cream for sensitive and problem skin is a minimalist combination of a hydrating mask and a moisturiser. Its nourishing yet lightweight texture hydrates and rejuvenates the skin, leaving it feeling nourished, moisturised and smooth.
This multi-use mask-and-cream contains sunflower oil to balance the skin barrier, plant-based glycerin for hydration, and rhamnose sugar to calm inflammation and support skin renewal.
Use it as a daily moisturiser for sensitised and reactive skin, as an overnight sleep mask to balance combination skin, or as a regular face mask to deeply hydrate all kinds of sensitive and problem skin.
With its balanced ratio of oils and moisturising ingredients, the 2-in-1 Hydrating Face Mask & Cream sits between our Light Face Cream and Rich Face Cream. It's an excellent moisturiser for sensitive combination and surface-dry skin, as well as skin with hormone-related skin challenges, such as during perimenopause and menopause.

Aqua
Solvent. Water. The main vehicle for our water based products
Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil
Sunflower seed oil. Emollient. Sunflower oil is widely used in skincare and in this particular case it forms the base for the tocopherol (vitamin E) we use in the product. Sunflower seed oil on its own has a high concentration of natural vitamin E, and is especially well suited for dry and dehydrated skin, due to a high linoleic acid content (at around 60%), which aids in strengthening the skin barrier.
Glycerin
Humectant and skin protecting. Technically a sugar alcohol, glycerin is one of the oldest, most common and most versatile humectants used in cosmetics. It moisturises and protects the skin, accelerates skin barrier recovery and has antimicrobial properties, among other things. We use vegetable, rapeseed-derived glycerin.
Rhamnose
Humectant. Rhamnose is a plant-based sugar with hydrating, anti-inflammatory, skin soothing and skin rejuvenating properties.
Glycine Soja Seed Extract
Emulsifier and skin conditioning. An emulsifier, put simply, enables the mixing of water and oil into an emulsion. This particular one is extremely mild, non-allergenic, and non-irritating, suitable for delicate and sensitive skin. It's a natural, plant-based and highly stable lysophospholipid extracted from a non-GMO soybean source, which is also able to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), maintaining moisture in the skin and strengthening the integrity of the skin barrier. Bonus: it also enhances collagen and elastin production.
Sclerotium Gum
Thickening, skin conditioning and emulsion stabilising. A natural and commonly used thickener in cosmetics, sclerotium gum too is a polysaccharide produced from sugars through fermentation. This one gets its name from the Sclerotium rolfsii bacteria species. Origin: glucose syrup from wheat/corn.
Sodium Levulinate
Skin conditioning and preservative. Sodium levulinate is the sodium salt of levulinic acid, which is an organic acid derived from in this case sugarcane.
Sodium Anisate
Antimicrobial, flavouring agent and preservative. The salt form of star anis derived organic acid.
Phytic Acid
Chelating. A chelating agent improves product stability. This one is a natural alternative to the widely used EDTA.
Citric Acid
Buffering agent. Citric acid is a commonly used buffering, i.e. pH adjusting, agent in cosmetics. It is made through bacterial fermentation and shifts the pH of the product into the acidic range. This is closer to the natural pH of the skin, which may range from 4 to 7, but is usually thought to be between 5 and 6, with recent studies, however, indicating it to be below 5.
Why it works for sensitive & problem skin
No added fragrance
No added fragrance or essential oils, floral waters, alcohol or fatty alcohols.
Formulated for sensitive & problem skin in our own lab
Our owners, CEO Kristina and cosmetic chemist Jaana, formulate all our products in our Helsinki lab, and test them on themselves - both have a long history of sensitive and problem skin.
Gentle & skin friendly preservatives
We've created a unique preservative system for the Mask, to minimise overlap with our other products, using gentle preservatives, primarily organic acids and their salt forms. Check out our ingredient section above to learn more.
Allergy-labelled
All our products carry the Finnish Allergy, Skin and Asthma Federation's independent Allergy-label.
Balanced pH for healthy skin
The Mask has a pH around 5.5 (healthy skin's own pH is slightly acidic, between 4.8 and 5.5) and will not upset or irritate skin.
A minimum of ingredient
The Mask contains only ten ingredients. Formulated with sunflower seed oil to strengthen the skin barrier, plant-based glycerin for deep hydration, rhamnose sugar to rejuvenate and treat irritated and inflamed skin and glycine soya extract to slown down skin’s water-loss (while also functioning as an emulsifier).
