Lactobacillus applied directly to the skin and peach ceramides MOMOPURI Quality

The MOMOPURI JELLY MASK is the smash-hit face mask in the MOMOPURI product range. Once applied to the skin, the mask grips tightly to the face as if enveloping it, appearing almost translucent, thanks to its clinging jelly-like skinfeel. So where does this jelly feel come from? Let’s take a look at the innovations and quality commitments in place throughout the production process.

Planning and Development

“We want to make a skincare series that’s cute but dependable!”

With this aim in mind, our planners focused on two ingredients: peach-derived ceramides and lactobacillus.

Ceramides are already renowned as a moisturizing ingredient in cosmetics, so knowing that ceramides can be derived from peach (momo in Japanese) and that those ceramides have a richly moisturizing effect, the planning team came up with the concept of skincare that was inspired by the subtle pinkness and freshness of peaches and indeed formulated with peach ceramides. What’s more, the team decided that lactobacillus, already known for their positive effects on the body when ingested and likely promising a beautifying effect when applied directly to the skin, would be the perfect key ingredient for a “dependable” skincare series.

This was the beginning of MOMOPURI skincare, a skincare series designed to create healthy and plumped skin through the daily application of lactobacillus and peach ceramides. The MOMOPURI JELLY MASK is a facemask that features in the MOMOPURI series. This is a sheet mask that’s loaded with beauty serum with a soft and springy jelly-like consistency. It’s a richly moisturizing mask that clings tightly to the skin, loading it with moisture until the skin is bouncing with hydration.

MOMOPURI JELLY MASK Developing the beauty serum

Our planners were particularly invested in creating a soft and bouncy jelly-like skinfeel. Given the process of infusing a dry sheet mask with beauty serum, it is challenging to create a soft and bouncy jelly-like feel on the skin. To ensure a tangible effect on the skin, we needed to load up the mask with a generous amount of beauty serum and to adjust the design to make sure this abundance of serum stays put on top of the mask and does not slip off when the mask is removed from its packaging nor while the mask is applied to the skin.

In our efforts to create the optimal jelly-like skinfeel, we created more than 30 prototypes and spent several months on the development of the beauty serum alone. The gentle peach fragrance is a shared featured of all the MOMOPURI series products. Still, we had to adjust this fragrance to make sure it was relaxing and pleasant, rather than overpowering, when the mask was applied to the skin.

Developing the sheet mask

We chose materials that would be optimal at absorbing, in an instant, a generous volume of our jelly-like beauty serum and at clinging closely to the skin and delivering moisture effectively to the skin. What’s more, we considered the shape of our sheet mask very carefully in order that it would be adaptable to multiple different face shapes. To make the process of removing the mask from its packaging and smoothing it over the face that little bit easier, we chose an edge-to-edge seamless design.

Preparing the beauty serum

Multiple beauty ingredients, including peach ceramides and lactobacillus, are added in a specific order according to our recipe. The order in which the ingredients are blended is particularly important in creating the soft and bouncy jelly-like consistency of this beauty serum.

Purified water is mixed with the rest of the ingredients in a vacuum-sealed tank that is subject to 24-hour quality control.

The biggest challenge is making the necessary adjustments to ensure that the lactobacillus are blended evenly into the beauty serum. Sampling inspections are conducted to ensure that the ingredients are being blended evenly.

Quality management

Testing is conducted to ensure that the resulting beauty serum meets all necessary quality standards. Multiple different values are controlled, including those related to fragrance, color, and pH, and checked to determine whether the product has been made in accordance with its design standards.

We also control the values relating to MOMOPURI’s unique soft and bouncy jelly-like skinfeel, a texture that does not feel sticky when smoothed onto the skin. We also undertake careful checks regarding the fresh peach fragrance that can be sensed as soon as the mask is applied to the skin.

Cutting the masks

The sheet mask material is cut into the template created during development. Each sheet mask is cut out quickly and accurately.

Filling and packaging

A dry sheet mask is inserted into a package, which is then instantly filled with beauty serum and then quickly sealed.

This is why the sheet mask material was developed and designed to be able to absorb beauty serum instantaneously. In order to ensure a hygienic and high quality product, the three processes of sheet mask cutting, filling, and packaging are carried out swiftly by a single machine.

Testing

Each sheet mask is placed in an individual package. The final stage in the production process is having each package inspected by human eye before final approval. There are many items on the approval checklist, such as whether the same volume of beauty serum has been included in each package. These detailed checks are intended to ensure we can deliver the best possible quality products to our customers.

Boxing

Once checks have been completed, each individual package is transported to the boxing area. Each box of MOMOPURI JELLY MASK contains 4 mask packages. Each set of four packages is prepared by hand and added to a box, all the while being checked visually.

Shipping

Once placed into cardboard boxes, the boxed products are ready to ship! However, they are not shipped immediately, as our strict quality management system requires that they are subject to sampling inspections and can therefore only be shipped after several days once the results have been checked. Under our rigorous quality management, only those MOMOPURI JELLY MASKs that have undergone multiple production processes and passed all of our tests and inspections are shipped out carefully to customers.
