WHY SILK IS BEST FOR FACE COVERINGS

Researchers found that silk is the most effective material for face coverings because:

  • Silk has inherent antiviral, antibacterial and antimicrobial properties
  • Silk prevents the penetration of droplets
  • Silk is least absorptive of water, because of its intensely hydrophobic character 
  • Silk is naturally hypoallergenic and dust-mites resistant
  • The thinness of silk enables multiple layers allowing comfortable breathing
  • Silk reduces mask-induced acne and skin irritation, letting the skin breathe
