We put some extra effort into this everyday essential - to give you comfortable but chic protection. Research suggests that 100% natural silk can effectively filter out particles due to its hydrophobicity and capillary action [1]. Silk is a more advantageous material for face coverings since its thinner, temperature balancing and moisture wicking, thus light, breathable and prevents humidity.

Silk causes less friction and irritation and is therefore ideal for Maskne-prone, allergic and sensitive skin. Silk is widely appreciated for its antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral, moisture- and temperature balancing properties.

[1] 'Silk is hydrophobic and can effectively impede the penetration and absorption of both liquid and aerosolized water droplets. The hydrophobicity of silk fabric is further enhanced when used in multiple layers, which when combined, are still thinner than most cotton materials and surgical face masks. The hydrophobicity can make silk more effective at impeding droplets, which is a common transmission pathway for the virus that underlies COVID-19. Silk face coverings can first reduce the penetration and absorption of small droplets, thus reducing saturation (hydrophobicity), and then provide some filtration against aerosol particles (filtration efficiency), while remaining thin, breathable, and comfortable when worn.'
