The Jeju Root Energy Mask – Carrot is part of Innisfree’s Jeju Root Energy line. It’s a water‑essence type sheet mask, meant to deliver brightening and moisturizing benefits, especially for dry or dull skin. The sheet is naturally derived and the essence is infused with carrot extract from Jeju, plus a complex of 5 types of hyaluronic acid to retain moisture.
Here are the main ingredients, including some standout additives, and what benefits they bring:
Ingredient | Type / Role | Key Benefits |
---|---|---|
Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract | Natural plant extract rich in beta‑carotene & antioxidants | Helps brighten dull skin, reduce inflammation, support skin repair. Gives radiance and a more even tone |
5‑Kind Hyaluronic Acid Complex (Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, etc.) | Humectants / moisture binders | These different molecular weights (and crosslinked form) work at various skin depths; help to lock in moisture, reduce transepidermal water loss, and give long-lasting hydration. |
Centella Asiatica Extract | Soothing, antioxidant | Known for calming irritation, supporting barrier repair, and also helping to stimulate glycosaminoglycans / hyaluronic acid production in skin. |
Allantoin & Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract | Soothing, anti‑inflammatory | Help reduce irritation and calm the skin. Good if your skin is sensitive or reactive. |
Sunflower Seed Oil (Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil) | Emollient / barrier support | Helps smooth skin, prevent moisture loss, supports barrier function. |
Glycerin, Arginine, Betaine | Humectants / skin‑identical / conditioning agents | Draw moisture into skin, help maintain moisture balance, improve texture and comfort. |
Fragrance / Parfum & Raspberry Ketone | For scent / sensory experience | Adds a pleasant aroma. However, fragrance can be irritating to sensitive skin. |
Other ingredients include solvents and stabilizers like dipropylene glycol, butylene glycol, propanediol, carbomer, etc., and minor botanical extracts (e.g. Paeonia Suffruticosa root extract) to support the formula.
The essence is light‑watery (water essence base) rather than thick cream. This gives a fresh, cooling sensation and makes absorption quicker.Sheet material is naturally derived cellulose, made from eucalyptus + bamboo mix. This helps it cling better to the skin with less discomfort. The mask uses an oil infusion extraction method for some of the carrot and plant nutrients, which helps retain more of the beneficial compounds.
Brightening / Radiance: The carrot extract (with beta‑carotene) helps with dullness and gives a more even, glowing skin tone. Boosted Hydration & Moisture Retention: Thanks to the multi‑hyaluronic acid complex + humectants + barrier‑supporting oils. Helps skin feel plump and reduce dryness. Soothing / Barrier Support: Ingredients like Centella, Chamomile, Allantoin deliver calming effects. Good for skin that may be stressed or irritated.
Light & Refreshing Sensation: Because it’s a thin watery essence type sheet, it doesn’t feel heavy or greasy—nice for those who dislike thick mask residue.
Cleanse face thoroughly; optionally use a toner to prep skin
Unfold the mask and place it on face, aligning eye, nose, mouth areas.
Leave on 10‑20 minutes. Don’t leave too long after it dries up, otherwise it may draw moisture back outRemove sheet; gently pat remaining essence into skin for better absorption. Do not rinse. Optionally follow with moisturizer if skin is very dry.
Best suited for:
Dry or dehydrated skin that needs a moisture boost.
Dull or tired skin that needs brightening.
People who prefer lightweight, non-heavy masks and quick absorption.
Things to be cautious of:
Fragrance / Parfum: This is included and could irritate sensitive skin. If you’re sensitive, patch‑test first. If your skin is oily but sensitive, using too many humectant‑rich products may feel sticky or heavy in humid weather.
The carrot extract is from Jeju–a region in Korea known for clean environment and quality agricultural ingredients. It adds to Innisfree’s branding of “natural + Jeju soil‑grown roots.” It’s part of a collection of root vegetable masks (carrot, beet, potato, etc.), each tailored to different skin needs, offering variety. The use of multiple types of hyaluronic acid (including crosspolymers) for both immediate and longer term hydration is a more premium touch.
