Organic Cotton Mask |
 The
I Can Breathe! 100% certified Organic Cotton Mask is a comfort mask made with three layers of soft, natural fabric to reduce exposure to dust, pollen, mold, pet dander, and lint. No dyes or bleach have been used in the fabric of this
mask. It's design is based on the I Can Breathe! Silk Comfort Mask. The mask is held in place on your face with adjustable,
natural cotton twill ear loops. This mask is latex-free.
The nose grip is made of hard plastic which has passed the tests of customers with severe sensitivities and is encased in cotton
so that it does not touch your skin. Metal rings are used instead of plastic buckles to secure the adjustable ear loops.
The label made of polyester is sewn on the outside to prevent irritation. Label is removable.
You can wash this mask before wearing with a cleaner with no scent and that leaves no residue. The patented sleek construction of this mask holds the fabric away from the nose and mouth, so
that you can talk easily. The Organic Cotton Mask is hand washable and latex free. This mask is made in the USA in Chicago, IL.

  Helpful for allergy levels
Reviewed by: Worst allergy patient my ENT has seen in 20 years from Johnson County, KS
Wearing this in cooler temperatures would be more comfortable, but I'm doing well during a particularly bad allergy season. My energy levels have been up since I started wearing the mask and keeping the pollen from outdoors and the dust from indoors while cleaning out of my sinuses. So far it washes well. There is an adjustment period because it is thicker than a bandana which I've slept with over my mouth and nose before. The discomfort of wearing the mask is totally offset by higher energy levels and I will continue to wear it. I'd like to get a second mask so I'm not washing the first one continually, so I intend to buy another one when finances permit.

Sturdy and effective
Reviewed by: Vicki from Chapel Hill, North Carolina
While it's a little bit heavier and warmer than the silk comfort mask, the organic cotton one has the same wonderfully comfortable design, and it's sturdier. I don't worry about damaging it when I wash it. And it really works!

Customer Q & A
Q1: Will this filter out exhaust and perfume?
A: Not very well. Since the only filter media is the organic cotton, all it can mainly do is filter particles. For exhaust or perfume you'll want a mask some activated carbon/charcoal in the filter, so a Respro Techno or Allergy or Sportsta w/ optional chemical/particle fitlers, the RZ mask, the Honeycomb carbon mask or one of a couple 3M masks.
Q2: Will this work for dust mite allergies? I see that it filters dust but it wasn't specifying the mite portion. Just want to be clear.
A: This is going to be a bit hit or miss. With the organic cotton, the filtration ability is lower than the rest of the ICanBreathe masks. While it will block some of the dust mite allergen, there is a greater likelihood that some will still pass through. So, while it should help reduce your exposure, the basic organic cotton fabric cannot provide the same filtration as say an N95 or HEPA rated mask.

Organic Cotton Mask
The Organic Cotton Mask describes itself in its title. If you are sensitive to chemicals this mask may be perfect
for your daily use. The organic mask is lightweight, breathable, and comfortable to wear.
The mask is also very convenient. It folds up very tightly and
could fit in your pocket or purse. Perfect for those who need or
would like to wear a mask while traveling or doing outdoor activities.
What I like about the Organic Cotton Mask
- Organic cotton construction
- Unlike many face masks and respirators, it is not hot, very breathable
- Because it is cotton, it does provide some cold weather protection
- Washable - Hand wash before wearing - Can be dipped in peroxide to kill germs (rinse well!)
- Can be easily folded for traveling
- Seals well around face - make sure to snug up the nosepiece
- Very lightweight, not bulky
What I did not like about the Organic Cotton Mask
- Must be hand-washed for best results and durability (consider it a delicate).
- There are no filters so this face mask lacks fragrance, chemical or fine particle filtration.
Overall, this is a decent mask that offers light particle filtration. I would recommend this mask to anyone who is
tired of being hot and uncomfortable by face masks. The Organic Cotton Mask does fit snugly around the face, much
like a hospital mask, and won't fog up your glass if you seal it around your nose properly. With regards to the flu
virus, it does act as a barrier, but it is not NIOSH approved.
