Formulation Deep Dive

LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask is formulated as a high-performance overnight water-based hydration treatment designed to reinforce the skin's moisture barrier during the nocturnal repair cycle. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated humectant-rich base of water, butylene glycol, and glycerin, further enhanced by squalane and trehalose to provide deep hydration and prevent trans-epidermal water loss. The active strategy features a synergistic blend of Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate to support the skin microbiome, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) for barrier optimization and brightening, and Beta-Glucan to soothe and provide antioxidant protection. This complex is stabilized within a rheology-modifying polymer network of Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer and Carbomer, ensuring a lightweight, non-greasy finish, while the system is preserved and chelated using Ethylhexylglycerin and Disodium EDTA to maintain the integrity of the botanical extracts.
