CHANDO Thamnolia Frensh Hydration Mask (5 Count)

Product Description

Thamnolia is a lichen that grows in the Himalayas, and it is what separates this variant from the rest of the chando mask range. This one is the oil-balancing option, five sheets to a box with 26ml of essence each.

The formula pairs the thamnolia extract with zinc PCA, which is the ingredient doing the oil-balancing work, and tremella fuciformis sporocarp extract for moisture-holding. Urea, trehalose, allantoin, serine and sodium hyaluronate fill out the hydration side, with tocopherol as an antioxidant and portulaca oleracea extract for comfort. The sheet is plant-based biodegradable fibre in what the brand calls a Micropatch hydration net structure.

This suits combination and oily skin that still feels dehydrated, which is a common and awkward combination. The brand states the formula contains no artificial fragrance, colourant, alcohol or preservatives.
