…SHEET MASKS BECAME A SKINCARE PHENOMENA
At the start of the new and highly sought-after sheet mask category, we introduced the most premium sheet mask material, Bio-Cellulose, to the market in a time that everybody was launching and familiar with cotton and hydrogel sheet masks. Bio-Cellulose is still considered by dermatologists to be the gold standard for treating skin. The close fit of the naturally fermented and cooling gel material delivers unparalleled results. We launched the first Bio-Cellulose sheet masks, loaded with top quality serums at a price range that was unknown in the skincare market.
…NON-WATER BASED
STARSKIN decided to start formulating skincare that was non-water based and to offer effective products that weren’t filled and diluted with tons of water. To be clear, water isn’t necessarily a bad or even useless ingredient. As a solvent, water helps dissolve potent actives and sometimes we need to use a small percentage in our formulas. However, skincare products without water are more potent, more luxurious, and offer more bang for your buck! On top of that, water is fast becoming a very precious resource and to limit the amount used in our products is something we are very mindful of.
...NO SILICONS
Silicones could cause a lot of skin problems and do not promote a health skin. The ‘film’ that silicones leave on skin can lead to clogged pores, increased breakouts and throw your skin’s natural regulatory processes off-balance, resulting in dull and dehydrated looking skin. Also, silicones can interfere with the absorption of beneficial ingredients within the same formula and can be quite difficult to remove.
…FERMENTED NATURAL INGREDIENTS
The most common ingredients in skincare that can undergo fermentation are fruits, plants, herbs, and yeast. During fermentation good bacteria help to break down ingredients into smaller molecules so that their nutrients and minerals can be more rapidly absorbed into the skin. The slow alteration process enhances ingredients to become much richer in antioxidants and amino acids which have an incredibly beneficial effect on skin.
