Just like the name suggests, the mask is made from pure honey. Yes, you got it right, when it comes to Honey; the Koreans are very particular and picky. This particular honey in the mask is extracted from Jiri Mountain and in this area, no pesticides are used. You can thus expect the honey mask to be very beneficial. The mask does not leave behind any residue, but instead makes your skin look very supple and glowing.
