SILVER-INFUSED COTTON
We've taken our masks to the next level, with silver-infused cotton on the inner layer. Our fabric is 98% long-staple cotton and 2% polyamide with silver.

BENEFITS TO SILVER IN MASKS:
-
Silver is infused in the cotton, like a mesh, and does not wash out
-
Silver's antimicrobial and antibacterial properties embedded in your mask may help slow or prevent bacterial growth.
-
Anti-moisture and anti-odour properties improve comfort
-
Positively charged ions in the fabric inhibit and eliminate bacteria on the surface of the mask
-
Promising studies have also shown silver-infused fabrics to have anti-viral properties (see resources below)
-
Does not replace regular laundering of your mask, handwashing, or maintaining safe social distance
