Remedywear (Tencel+Zinc) Face Mask - Single

Remedywear™ Reusable Face Mask

We are proud to introduce the first reusable zinc face mask. 

This reusable face mask for sensitive skin is incredibly soft and breathable and is suitable for the most sensitive of skin.  Say goodbye to chaffing, facial irritations and dermatitis caused by other face masks.  Remedywear's Tencel face mask is made with cooling, moisture wicking TENCEL and embedded with antibacterial and antimicrobial zinc to fight germs and bacterial growth that can build up on both the inside and outside of the mask. Remedywear's unique fiber blend used in this face mask for sensitive skin works well to soothe skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis as well. Both the straps and mask in this antibacterial face mask contain a bit of stretch to provide a snug, but comfortable fit, that can be worn for hours at a time.

What makes Remedywear's zinc face mask unique:

• Softer than silk and smoother than cotton, TENCEL fabric provides ultimate lasting comfort for all skin types.
• Can reduce severity of atopic dermatitis when worn three nights consecutively [1].
• Anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, anti-odor zinc helps to reduce germs and bacteria from entering the mouth or nose.
• Embedded, not coated, zinc remains after 100+ washings.
• 3 layer mask structure - 1st and 3rd layer in jersey knit TENCEL and zinc + 2nd layer/inside filtering layer in tightly woven TENCEL.
• No glues or resins of any kind.
• Stretchy straps and mask fabric allows for a snug fit without the need for a metal nose bridge and with no side gapping.
• Straps can be tied behind the head or behind the ears.

Sold as one unit. Buy two - one to wear, one to wash, then repeat! For every two masks we sell, we will donate one to professional caregivers, community programs or schools in need.

Additional Information

This face mask for sensitive skin is intended to serve as a barrier mask to complement, not override, the protection measures and the rules of social distance, which are fundamental for the control of airborne illnesses. Remedywear face covering masks are intended for use by those who leave their homes to travel for work, school or errands and to help protect the community. Additionally, these masks are not intended for use by healthcare professionals in the performance of their duties, nor are they a medical device. Thus, they do not comply with the regulation of surgical masks or individual protection equipment.

Remedywear face masks should be worn for a maximum of four hours and changed whenever they are damp. 

How to Wear

The white line indicates the front, top of the mask.

For a versatile fit, wear your masks in one of two ways:

• Tie the straps behind the head, or
• Tie the straps together in a little knot behind the ears and slip the mask on and off.

Washing Instructions

Wash before your first use and after each wear.

Machine wash using a complete wash cycle at 140°F/60°C with a mild detergent. Lay flat to dry or use a gentle cycle at a low temperature. Iron at a low temperature setting (less than 230°F/110°C), if needed. Thoroughly dry before wearing.

The use of bleach, chemical whitening agents, fabric softeners or conditioners will shorten the lifespan of your mask - we do not recommend them. Do not dry clean.
