Where to buy wool face masks

Wool face masks are odour resistant

Wool face masks are naturally odour resistant due to the fibre’s unique properties. Wool fibres can absorb large quantities of water vapour – twice as much as cotton and thirty times as much as polyester – helping to keep the skin drier and prevent the build-up of sweat, bacteria and unpleasant smells. The unique chemical structure of wool also enables it to absorb and lock away odours which may develop, and only release them on washing.

Woolmark licensee Südwolle Group has created two styles of Merino wool airway protective face masks for daily use.

How to wash a wool face mask

Wool face masks can be worn again and again, provided they are washed correctly after each use. Wool masks should be hand washed in warm water (no hotter than 40°C) with wool detergent and dried in sunlight. Wool is a 100% biodegradable fibre, does not contribute to microplastic pollution and will decompose on disposal.
