There's a lot to consider when buying a face mask. You want one that fits properly, feels comfortable, and provides effective protection. And if it can biodegrade or be recycled, even better. If this sounds like something for you, take a look at the CSC01 Copper Shield copper face mask.

By now, you’ve probably got an arsenal of face masks at home—a pack of disposables for emergencies and several reusable ones for everyday use. But sometimes you wonder about the sustainability of your face masks. Like, how long they’ll be around after you toss them and if they’ll end up in the ocean? The creators of The CSC01 Copper Shield copper face mask hope to provide a stylish, eco-friendly option that offers superior protection to your typical mask. It’s worth checking out.

The CSC01 Copper Shield comes in a black, Avant-Garde design with the company’s swooshy logo on the right side. Appearance-wise, it’s great for professional settings as well as your daily outings. Inside the mask are five layers of filtration: two silk-like layers of polyester fabric, two layers of a hydrophobic material, and one layer of copper mesh. The filters are gentle on your skin and keep you safe from pollution, dust, and other particles.

Why use a copper face shield?

Copper and its alloys are antimicrobial. This means that they can kill a range of harmful microbes quickly and efficiently. Since the CSC01 Copper Shield has an inner copper layer, it offers superior protection. The company’s Kickstarter page writes that its copper face mask is a smarter and more effective way to protect yourself from pollution, dust, and other airborne particles compared to other face masks.

Why choose a seamless, adjustable design?

Face covering designs that feature one continuous piece of material—like this face mask— have better integrity in the nose and mouth areas. Seamless design offers this protection, allowing you to go about your activities with confidence. Furthermore, this copper face mask is adjustable. We’ve all had a face mask that’s been too lose or too tight. Thankfully, the CSC01 Copper Shield’s straps reach around the back of your head for a secure fit. The elastic bands are also high-quality. This way, no matter the size of your head, you can be sure your face mask fits you correctly.

What sizes do these protective face masks come in?

For the best protection, you’ll want to make sure that your face masks fit correctly. Thankfully, the CSC01 Copper Shield comes in two sizes: medium and large. The medium size is 5.3 inches (11.5 cm) wide while the large size is 5.9 inches (13.5 cm) wide. This offers greater customization so that you can be sure you’ll have a great-fitting mask.

Which design suits you best?

Do you prefer a mask with a valve, or not? These copper face masks offer three designs depending on your needs: one valve, two valves, or no valves. What’s more, this design is patent-pending and enters into the international WIPO treaties.

I think it’s safe to say that we’re all looking for face masks that are eco-friendly, effective, and stylish these days. The CSC01 Copper Sheild copper face masks tick all three boxes, and quite a few more. It’s a breath of relief (pun intended) to find one that features copper and has a customizable fit. You’ll want to make sure you’ve got a few of these face masks in your backpack anytime you go out.

The CSC01 Copper Shield copper face mask costs $28.49, and you can preorder yours on Kickstarter.
