While I was writing the previous post about peel off mask, I ran across U.S patent application no. 20060198805, titled “Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Masks for Skin Improvement Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Masks for Skin Improvement.” The application was filed by the Bioderm Research Scottsdale (www.biodermresearch.com).
The application describes a mask composed of two different fluid components. The first component contains alginate and water and is applied to contact skin. The second component contains calcium salt and water. The second component is applied to contact the first component. When in contact, the first and second components chemically react with each other to form a new gel-like mask that adapts to the shape of skin as a continuous film. The gel-like mask can be removed from skin as a continuous gel-like film upon being pulled away from skin. The application claims that the mask is capable of removing skin wrinkles, skin blemishes, and skin discoloration when being pulled away from skin.
The application provides several peel-off mask compositions. Most of these compositions are in two-parts. Part I is usually the mask base. All quantities are in weight %. Part II is usually the activator composition that causes the cross-linking of the mask composition.

Part I. Mask Composition
Procedure. Mix all ingredients with a high-speed mixer. A green gel is obtained.
(1) Deionized water 85.5
(2) Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate 0.5
(3) Spirulina algae powder 1.5
(4) Sodium alginate 2.0
(5) Glycerin 10.0
(6) Preservatives 0.5
Part II. Ion-Pair Cross-linking Activator Composition.
Procedure. Mix (1) to (3) to a thin gel. Add (4) to (8) and mix. A clear light gel is obtained.
(1) Deionized water 87.6
(2) Preservative 0.5
(3) Hydroxyethyl cellulose 1.5
(4) Calcium chloride solution (50%) 10.0
(5) Laminaria Extract 0.1
(6) Hydrolyzed Rhodophycea 0.1
(7) Codium Tomentosum extract 0.1
(8) Enteromorpha Compressa extract (0.1).
Application of Mask Compositions for Wrinkle Removal: Apply Part I on face as a thick film, about the thickness of a penny coin (about 1.0 mm thick). Let it absorb into the facial skin for 10 to 15 minutes. Apply a thick coating of Part II over Part I film. After five to 10 minutes rub the facial skin with fingers. The mask separates from skin as a single piece of gel-like material that appears like a piece of seaweed, also removing wrinkles from skin as it is pulled away from skin.

Part II. Ion-Pair Cross-linking Activator Composition.
Procedure. Mix (1) to (3) to a light gel. Add all other ingredients and mix. A clear light gel is obtained.
(1) Deionized water 91.5
(2) Preservative 0.5
(3) Hydroxyethyl cellulose 1.0
(4) Calcium Ascorbate 2.0
(5) Calcium Hydroxycitrate 5.0
Application of Mask Compositions: Apply Part I on face as a thick film, about the thickness of a penny coin (about 1.0 mm thick). Let it absorb into the facial skin for 10 to 15 minutes. Apply a thick coating of part II over Part I film. After five to 10 minutes rub the facial skin with fingers. The mask separates out as a single piece of material that appears like a piece of seaweed, and it improves skin discoloration as it is pulled away from skin.

Apply a thick coating of Part II over Part I film. Heat release is immediately felt. After five to 10 minutes rub the facial skin with fingers. The mask separates out as a single piece of gel-like material that appears like a piece of seaweed, which removes wrinkles as it is pulled away from skin.
Now, use this information as an inspiration, see if you can come up with a different and improved peel-off mask. Don’t copy the mask described here—because that would be an infringement. Let me know if you would like to share your improved recipes.
Thanks for reading.
