  Organic Face Masks  

Why choose organic face masks from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton?

Because it’s a natural fiber that won’t contribute to the devastating impact of microplastic pollution in the ocean.

Plus they are healthier for us to breathe through. 

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the highest standard for a finished organic textile because it doesn’t just regulate the cotton itself, but the social and environmental impact of the entire supply chain as well.

Vogmask Organic Face Masks 

🍃😷 Wearing a face covering with filters makes me feel protected and confident that I am protecting myself and the community.
Every time I go out, even just for a walk outdoors, I grab my mask, gloves, and hand sanitizer.
😷 My mask is always with me and if I need to go to a place where I know there are people around, wearing a face-covering is the best protection, because sometimes respecting social distancing can be more challenging.
👏 It is nice to meet other people who are doing the same, which feels like we are all collaborating for a better future and a faster recovery. We are all helping each other and we all have the same goal and mission.
🙏 We look at each other with grateful appreciation for our responsible behavior.
🌿 Thankfully, there so many companies now that have come up with more eco-friendly options, from organic hand sanitizers to eco-friendly PPE, with organic materials that protect our health.
💚 One of my favorite masks is made with organic cotton, which is better for our skin and better for the planet, like this one by Vogmask

United States Mask Respirators NIOSH and CDC Approved

These are authentic NIOSH-approved and CDC-approved respirators Made in the USA.

The 1836 N95 Particulate respirator, also known as an N95 mask, is a NIOSH Certified (TC-84A-PH20) foldable respirator. The respirator's 5-layer design ensures protection from over 95% of airborne particles and liquids.​

United States Mask N95 respirators have head straps. This is the American standard for N95s. If you find a mask in the marketplace labeled N95 with ear loops, it is counterfeit and not an N95 by CDC/NIOSH standards.

A KN95 with ear loops meets the Chinese standard but does not meet NIOSH standards.

The respirator's 5-layer design ensures protection from over 95% of airborne particles and liquids.​​

• Dual non-latex headbands

• Sturdy nosepiece that prevents "rebounding"

• Breathable material

• Soft inner lining 

• Comfortable Fit

• 5 Layers of Filtration.

CDC: A respirator is a personal protective device that is worn on the face or head and covers at least the nose and mouth. A respirator is used to reduce the wearer’s risk of inhaling hazardous airborne particles (including infectious agents), gases or vapors. Respirators, including those intended for use in healthcare settings, are certified by the CDC/NIOSH

​

An N95 FFR is a type of respirator which removes particles from the air that are breathed through it. These respirators filter out at least 95% of very small (0.3 micron) particles. N95 FFRs are capable of filtering out all types of particles, including bacteria and viruses.

A regular surgical mask will not help you with of Coronavirus. Covid-19

According to The Wall Street Journal :

"If used properly, masks can at least help block some large droplets from sneezes and coughs. They can also prevent wearers from touching their noses and mouths if they are careful. But paper or polyurethane foam masks, also known as surgical masks, don’t filter out smaller particles. Reusable respirator masks, also called N95 masks, are considered by some to be best if they are fitted by a professional. In such cases they fit tightly, making it harder for particles to get through."

​

In general, Respirators are rated “N,” if they are Not resistant to oil, “R” if somewhat Resistant to oil, and “P” if strongly resistant (oil Proof).

You will need a face mask that is at least N95 or N99.  The N rating –  mask rated N95 or higher, means is that the respirator is rated to block 95% of airborne particles as small as (0.3 micron).  It filters 95% of particulate matter including dust, smoke or viruses down to 0.3 microns in size. This can protect against the new coronavirus.

It is important to wear a protective mask properly. Fit these respirators around the nose, cheeks, and chin, ensuring that you don't breathe around the edges of the respirator. 

​

WHO World Health Organization recommends: ​

• Before putting on a mask, wash hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water 

• Cover mouth and nose with mask and make sure there are no gaps between your face and the mask

• Avoid touching the mask while using it; if you do, clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water

• Replace the mask with a new one as soon as it is damp and do not re-use single-use masks  

• To remove the mask: remove it from behind (do not touch the front of a mask); discard immediately in a closed bin; wash hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water

• use a particulate respirator at least as protective as a US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)-certified N95, European Union (EU) standard FFP2, or equivalent.
