# Low-Impact Sheet Masks Lessonia's Eco-Friendly Sheet Mask Boasts a Reduced Ecological Footprint By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-07-19 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eco-friendly-sheet-mask References: [premiumbeautynews](https://www.premiumbeautynews.com/en/lessonia-lowers-the-ecological) & [lessonia](http://www.lessonia.com/index.php?rub=happy_mask_2) French supplier Lessonia created an innovative, eco-friendly sheet mask with a low ecological footprint thanks to its [packaging design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moisturizer-jars). Most sheet masks from beauty brands are packaged in single-use sachets with aluminum foils, which have a high footprint due to the way they are produced. By removing this material from its production process and packaging entirely, Lessonia has succeeded in creating an alternative solution that "means saving 50 tons of CO2 equivalent in the atmosphere for the production of 10 million masks." Additionally, the masks by Lessonia are packaged without polypropylene, which is usually included to help with the sheet mask unfolding, and the supplier favors the use of natural materials in its [facial sheet masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-skin-collagen-mask). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** The trend of using sustainable packaging materials and design to reduce the ecological footprint of products. - **Carbon Footprint Reduction:** The trend of incorporating innovative production methods to reduce CO2 emissions and overall environmental impact. - **Natural Materials:** The trend of utilizing organic and renewable materials in the production of beauty and skincare products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beauty and Skincare:** Beauty brands can explore eco-friendly packaging options to reduce the environmental impact of their products and attract environmentally conscious consumers. - **Packaging Design:** Packaging companies can focus on developing sustainable packaging materials and designs that can be applied to various industries, such as beauty, food, and consumer goods. - **Sustainable Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can adopt innovative production methods that prioritize carbon footprint reduction, such as eliminating the use of materials with high environmental impact like aluminum foils. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hydrating Gel-Based Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instantlift-express-revitalizing-mask.md) - [Eco-Friendly Hygiene Wipes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshist-debuts1.md) - [Cream-Infused Sheet Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-rx-compress.md) - [Planet-Friendly Firming Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ageloc-tru-face.md) - [Bio-Based Monomaterial Skincare Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moisturizer-jars.md) - [Ocean Plastic-Made Skincare Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-landscapes-collection.md) - [Sheet-Style Skincare Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sulwhasoo-1.md) - [Mocktail-Inspired Beauty Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocktailinspired-beauty.md) - [Lifting Firming Sheet Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needle-lifts.md)
