Do you know Chile’s largest theme park has replaced its most-touched surfaces with copper?
Copper was and still is an important component of the Ayurvedic system of medicine in India.
But why? Because copper and its alloys exhibit impressive antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties.
When a microbe lands on copper, its ions blast the pathogen like an onslaught of missiles. Holes are punched in the viral coating, creating free radicals that kill the microbe.
According to a study of The New England Journal of Medicine, more than half of viruses die within one hour on the copper surface. After four hours, the amount drops to a non-traceable level.
Another study in The Journal of Hazardous Materials found copper reducing the infection ability of influenza and other viruses.
*The bottom line is - Copper is highly effective against viruses so why not use it?

Do you know ancient Romans used silver for infections and wounds? It’s antimicrobial and antibacterial action is well known and documented in many cultures. Recent studies show that silver is also effective against viruses and other air-borne pathogens.

Here are some links for you if you want to go in-depth:

When a virus comes in contact with the silver, the latter enters the membrane of the virus and destroys its cellular structure. This kills them and stops them from multiplying.

* We’re proud to combine the power & beauty of copper and silver to help you fight the current pandemic.

When someone with Coronavirus coughs, sneezes, or talks, they put out tiny droplets with the virus into the air. That's where a mask can help.

The CDC recommends that everyone -- sick or healthy -- wear a cloth face mask in public places like grocery stores, supermarkets. People can spread coronavirus even if they don't show any symptoms. So the easiest thing you can do today is to wear a cloth mask when you step out of the house to get groceries or supplies...

* And a face mask infused with copper and silver should be your best choice if N95 is not available.

We make this mask with 100% cotton (all the 3 layers) - so it’s biodegradable. Imagine how better our earth would be if everyone starts using eco-friendly masks. On the other hand, disposable masks hurt Mother Earth irreparably although they have their place in healthcare.

Also, disposable masks can be (and should be) worn only 1 time. Whereas, our copper & silver infused cloth masks are reusable. You can wash them after, say, 15 or 20 times use. A pair of 10 masks can easily last this year for a single person. Most of our customers buy in a pack of 10, 15, or 20 for themselves and their families.

Note - Our copper and silver infused masks are available for bulk/wholesale purchases too. Contact us here if you are interested to get more than 1000 to 500,000 pieces or so.

Now here's the real deal - how copper and silver are mixed with cotton:

A specialized technology to embed the copper and silver into the outer layer of the cloth mask is used in our masks. These are automatically weaved into the cotton like a mesh. The tech empowers the mask to release copper and silver ions only when needed - when a bacteria or virus comes in contact with the outer layer of the mask. Thus the mask remains effective against several rounds of washes and use. It lasts far longer than other masks available in the market today.

Note that these metals are NOT SPRAYED over the cotton, which (to be honest) is practically useless.

Despite the rising costs of raw materials and hiccups in the supply chain, We pride ourselves on making the face masks affordable and durable for American families. These copper and silver-infused masks are machine washable and reusable (unlike those N95 or surgical masks).

Every earloop mask has elastic around the mouthpiece so it fits you snugly, similar to those masks containing nose wiring.

Still, if you don’t want the ones with earloops, you can have the other variant with the head straps. (the current headstrap design has been discontinued. If you need a headstrap mask, please check our organic cotton mask with headstraps.)

These are copper-infused 3-layered masks so you can safely rely on their effectiveness.

Since the outer covering contains copper and silver, the inner layers remain protected. As such, these masks typically last much longer than the other 3-layer masks.
