The Taiwanese Aboriginal Facial Mask stands out from other skincare products due to its incorporation of Taiwan's indigenous culture. The formulas contain local plants such as bitter melon, pigeon peas, and Formosa lily, which have gained patents for their unique properties. The packaging is inspired by aboriginal legends and printed with non-toxic soy-based inks. The foil bags are designed in the shape of "orbicular sky and rectangular earth," symbolizing the balance of Yin and Yang. The gift box features artwork of endangered Black-faced Spoonbills and is made of stone paper, demonstrating a love for the earth.
The realization of this design involves following the Taiwanese aboriginal culture and legacy. The formulas feature top-quality plant extracts, including Taiwan Sun Moon Lake Ruby Black Tea, and do not contain any animal ingredients. The mask sheet is made of Japanese natural silk, ensuring high infiltration. Each mask is individually packaged in a 9-layer foil sachet to maintain freshness and effectiveness. The foil packaging showcases exclusive artwork inspired by Taiwanese Aboriginal culture, printed with environmentally friendly soy ink. To enhance the customer experience, a mobile app has been created to help users evaluate their skin and choose the most suitable mask.
With dimensions of 16cm x 3.5cm x 19.2cm, the Taiwanese Aboriginal Facial Mask comes in a 2ml vital precursor serum and contains 30ml of essences in a single mask. The Japanese natural silk facial mask sheet allows for high infiltration, while the 9 layers of aluminum bags pouch ensure the highest quality.
Using the Taiwanese Aboriginal Facial Mask is a simple and enjoyable process. After washing your face, apply the serum from the upper part of the foil package. Then, take the mask sheet from the lower part of the package and place it on your face. In just 20 minutes, the eco-friendly and oil-free essence will tighten pores and smooth out fine lines. The masks are SGS certified and suitable for all skin types.
The Taiwanese Aboriginal Facial Mask has been available since 2014 and is sold in Taiwan and overseas. Through customer feedback and collaborations with bloggers, it has been recognized as a cultural experience of Taiwan. Customers have praised the masks as the best souvenirs for foreign guests and have expressed their willingness to purchase them for their overseas friends. In addition, the mask sheets have been ranked second as the best souvenir by millions of Chinese customers, as reported by Shop Taiwan.
The creation of the Taiwanese Aboriginal Facial Mask was not without its challenges. Facial masks were not traditionally considered as souvenirs, but TenArt Biotech transformed this perception by incorporating indigenous elements from ancient tribes in Taiwan and transforming them into fashionable designs. They collaborated with experts from various fields, including archaeologists, dermatology specialists, paper artists, and designers, to bring this concept to life. Through this project, the meaning of facial masks has been redefined, highlighting that skincare is not only a healthy procedure but also a cultural experience and a representation of a country.
The Taiwanese Aboriginal Facial Mask, created by TenArt Biotech Limited, is a testament to the beauty and legacy of Taiwan's aborigines. With its unique formulas, eco-friendly packaging, and cultural significance, it offers a skincare experience that goes beyond traditional beauty routines.
