etee's 100% organic cotton face masks are handmade in Toronto. They are reusable and washable, and therefore do not contribute to the global shortage of masks, while providing an alternative to single use synthetic masks. Each mask is double layered with elastic loops and a built-in pocket for replaceable filters.
Avoid touching your mask while on your face. After use, put it directly in the washing machine and be sure to wash your hands.
There has been a lot of debate about mask wearing - some scientific and some cultural. The opinions vary depending on the Country of origin, but recently, western experts are starting to embrace the idea of using masks or cloth face coverings. And while N95 'medical' grade masks should be reserved for front line healthcare workers, cotton masks such as these are gaining support in helping to flatten the curve, particularly for people who are sick, but don't have symptoms.
"Masks represent the lowest-hanging fruit of public health measures that could put a dent in the outbreak, as science shows how dramatically they reduce transmission of the virus. “It is, in some ways, our best medical tool,” said Ali Mokdad, an epidemiologist at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. “It can save hundreds of thousands of lives without the need for surgery, drugs, no side effects and readily available to everyone.” - The Washington Post
1. Who wants to breath through pesticides and synthetic materials? We don't & we figured you probably don't either!

Jen - featured right - was the first team member to suggest we use our excess fabric to make masks. She also researched the pattern and sewed the first batch of 200.

These filters are the standard for mask filtration - made with activated carbon and non-woven melt-blown filter cloth. After much debate, we decided on a disposable filter in light of our unique health situation. The five-layer filter system is not meant to be reused or washed. To use, insert the PM2.5 filter along the inside of the mask.
NOTE: After much consideration, we have decided to ship these filters in a plastic bag to avoid any contamination.
