Experience the Benefits of Agar Agar in Peel-Off Masks and Hydrogel Masks

Agar Agar, the 100% plant-based gelling agent derived from red seaweed, is transforming skincare with its exceptional performance in peel-off and hydrogel mask formulations. Known for its natural origin and superior gelling properties, Agar Agar provides an effective, plant-based alternative to synthetic or animal-derived polymers—perfect for brands focused on ethical and sustainable beauty.
In both peel-off and hydrogel masks, Agar Agar creates a smooth, uniform layer that gently adheres to the skin, offering a cleansing and tightening effect that refreshes and firms the skin with every use. It is completely odourless, non-irritating and safe for even sensitive skin types, while its excellent film-forming ability helps lift away impurities when used in peel-off masks.
For hydrogel masks, Agar Agar delivers standout benefits as a thickening and texture enhancer, creating a luxurious, cushiony gel that moisturises and soothes the skin while allowing prolonged contact with active ingredients. Its bioadhesive nature ensures the mask stays in place, optimising delivery of nutrients and botanicals.
Moreover, Agar Agar-based hydrogels offer oxygen permeability, which supports skin healing by allowing breathability and antimicrobial support that helps keep the mask environment clean and reduces the risk of irritation or infection. These properties make Agar Agar especially attractive for advanced skincare applications, including wound-healing dressings where drug delivery compatibility is essential for delivering therapeutic actives effectively.
Hydrogel masks made with Agar Agar can be used in a wide range of products, including sheet masks, under-eye patches, peel-off facial masks, soothing gels and hydrogel-based moisturizers, offering formulators endless possibilities to create effective, comfortable and innovative skincare solutions.
