enVy COPPER infused Triple Layered Germ Killing Face Masks

When the pandemic hit EnVy was already using this amazing anti-microbial COPPER fabric in their Copper Anti Aging Pillows to combat acne, rosacea and sleep skin healing after any invasive or non-invasive treatment. Creating this Copper face mask with 100% Copper was an easy pivot for protection against germs in our environment, from hand to mask touching and also prevent and stop the dreaded Maskne which has become our latest battle. You won’t see Nylon or Neoprene in any of their products including their COPPER infused Face Masks.  Because they use the advanced germ killing COPPER they are able to obtain a 100% COPPER infused maximum coverage into the matrix of our super soft natural fabrics. Partnering with  NatuVerex™ (a Canadian Copper fabric company) together they developed this next generation anti-microbial anti-Maskne Face Mask that uses a specialized COPPER nanoparticles technique which is able to be permanently grafted to the entire DNA of the natural fabric using a unique bonding technique.  Perfect for our enVy COPPER anti-microbial Anti-Maskne face mask.

COPPER has long been studied for its Anti-Microbial Benefits

The result is a comfortable, protective, droplet blocking and breathable anti-microbial mask we can easily wear when we need to social distance.  Our Copper Infused Face Masks offer a TRIPLE layer of protection using natural fibres on the outside and inside and a polyester interface between them.  And, of course, their exclusive insanely gentle soft ear loops and adjustable Nose Wire.

Our enVy™ Copper face mask is a 3 layered PPE Mask and comes in 3 colours - TENCEL™ or a Cotton Blend . All our mask come in S|M (suitable for 6 yrs to petite adults) and M|L (average to larger faces) *See dimensions below or click on the sizing icon above.

Need Help with Sizing?

All of our masks are available in S|M which are suitable for most youth as young as 6 years to petite adults.  Our M|L is slightly longer from nose wire to chin and fits most average to larger adults. Below is some help with picking the best size for you and yours.

Our Exclusive Anti-Microbial Mask with Insanely gentle SoftEAR Loops and Adjustable Nose Wire

Aside from the natural soft fabrics they use, our COPPER infused Face Masks all come with the new SoftEAR™ loops which are made from super soft stretch material as well as our adjustable nose wire. If you are needing to adjust the loops you can do so by sliding the cord through the loop channel, finding the attachment, cutting to your length, adding a new stitch or tying a knot and sliding back into the channel.

Our COPPER Technology is a Game Changer

According to Michael Schmidt, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the Medical University of South Carolina, who has studied the use of copper in medical products says that the advantage of copper in a mask is,

“As the viral particles go out of you through the copper mask into the environment, they will die.”

BUT he also warns about how much copper is actually in many copper mask out on the market who may only have a few threads of copper yarn woven into the fabric,

 “The effectiveness of a mask depends on how much copper is in it. Virus particles are very small, so they would need to actually encounter the copper to be deactivated. The best copper masks would have copper incorporated into every fiber, rather than just on one single layer embedded inside the mask.”

Schmidt believes that if a reputable copper mask company offers  these types of masks, it could be a game changer.

“If we begin to incorporate copper masks into our strategy … we may be able to short-circuit a second wave that’s coming.”

Why Copper Infused Masks are better than masks without Copper?

One way the virus can be transmitted is if someone touches an infected surface—like a doorknob—then touches their mask to adjust it. In this situation, the copper in our non-medical cloth mask would kill these viruses, whereas they would linger on a traditional cloth or non-woven (surgical/ medical) mask, potentially contaminating the wearer.

“The outside of a mask can pick up the virus. You can pick it up with your fingers, rub your eye, pick your nose, lick your finger, and voila, you’re contaminated.”~ Michael G. Schmidt, Ph.D

A Copper treated natural fibres may be better than a the non-woven surgical/medical masks

New research out of University of Illinois by Science and engineering team: When a natural common non-medical cloth mask uses 2 layers or 3 layers, the droplet efficiency was 98.6% compared to the 96.3% efficiency of the 3-layered medical mask made with synthetic materials or nylon.  Yet, the 2-layered cotton mask still has comparable if not better breathability compared to the medical mask (non-woven material and nylon / synthetic material). Breathability is a critical parameter for any mask design. A high efficiency mask material with low breathability will have air flow through the sides allowing droplets to enter or exit the respiratory system. This is a function of the fact that fabric masks are hydrophilic (moisture retaining) vs surgical masks are hydrophobic (moisture repelling).

The enVy™ COPPER infused Face Masks are made from Cotton or TENCEL™ (both natural fibres used in our non-medical cloth mask)  provides the optimal balance of ‘breathability‘ and ‘droplet resistance’ and most importantly this gives this anti-microbial mask the opportunity for the COPPER ion technology in the mask to go to work on the potential pathogens within these droplets that have been trapped in or filtered through the mask.
