Product & Packaging

Swanicoco is a South Korean cosmetic company that has been around since 2005 and prides itself for it's patented raw component and nano-fermented formulations, using natural extracts in it's products. Swanicoco pursues the elegance of a 'swan' and the naturalness of botanical cosmetics ('coco' as in 'coconut'). They use fermented extracts instead of purified water and uses natural ingredients good for the skin. Their products do not include dyes, artificial fragrances, alcohol, mineral oils, parabens, chemical preservatives, steroids, and benzophenones.

Swanicoco launched in Malaysia Watson store in late 2017 and sent out a lot of products for their Swan program to promote their brand and I was lucky enough to be chosen in their Swan 1 program. They've since held a Swan 2 event. ^^

In addition to the Swanicoco A.C. Control Toner and Swanicoco A.C. Control Emulsion, May from Swanicoco sent me this sheet mask. This Bio Cellulose Soft Coco Peeling Maskpack was produced under Dr. Syul by Swanicoco, which is an eco-friendly cosmetic, collaborated between organic ingredients from plants and biocomponents with high technology. Dr. Syul is made up of bio ingredients which have better effects on the skin compared to our existing products. They product safe and environmentally friendly cosmetic which are proven by the counsel from cosmetic researchers through systematic processes.

Ingredients

There are plenty of beneficial ingredients in the mask, including niacinamide, gluconolactone papaya fruit extract, centella asiatica extract, kiwi extract and green tea extract. The ingredients aim to brighten, heal, and moisturize skin. The 'peeling' from this mask comes from gluconolactone, which removes dead skin softly for silky smooth skin. I couldn't find full ingredients of this mask, but their list of things they don't use, including alcohol and mineral oils or artificial fragrances, is good enough for me. 

Texture & Directions

The mask is made with natural bio material sheet made with natural microbe cultivation that gives better absorption. The nano find structure of bio cellulose allows for better adhesion while allowing better fit and enhancing skin elasticity.

The Swanicoco is definitely one of the more interesting masks that I've tried. First off, there's two layers to the mask, a mesh outer (inner?) layer and a bio-cellulose second layer. I applied the bio cellulose layer to my skin directly and the mesh layer over it (swipe for pictures). The mask didn't smell like anything to me and the experience is really just like applying a hydrogel mask. It's really pleasant and cooling, especially for the weather here (hot and humid).

Instructions:

1. After washing face and using toner. Then remove vinyl supporting to place mask onto skin evenly.
2. 15-20 minutes later, remove mask and tap the essence lightly for absorption.

Performance

I was reluctant to take this off after ~30 minutes of wearing because it was so comfortable and cooling to have it on the entire time. The mask was still wet when I removed it. even after 30 minutes. My skin is really super soft and smooth after! It also helped brighten my acne scars and tone my skin. There's no sticky residue and my skin just soaks this up completely. 

I'm surprisingly my broke ass self by saying I might actually repurchase this. Swanicoco is now available in local Malaysia Watson Stores, but I'll keep an eye out for sure! Especially for sales.
