Acala Stem Lotus Microfibre Face Masks
Looking for super-comfortable face masks that can be worn by adults and kids alike? Try a fabric that’s been worn since the 5th century by Buddhist monks and the highest of royalty! Acala Stem's unique organic face masks contain lotus fibres from the lotus stem. There are a lot of health benefits in the lotus stem. For centuries eastern philosophers have sworn by the lotus’s remedial healing abilities, which they believe can aid the treatment of anxiety, headaches, heart ailments, asthma and lung issues. The production process of the lotus fibre requires no water, gas, oil or electricity to produce, making it the most earth-friendly fabric in the world! In fact, even the stems are lifted from underwater on a raft and oar.
The outer layer of the Acala Stem face masks is soft organic cotton while the middle layer works with lotus microfibre technology. Creating a static charge, thanks to its 200,000 fibres per inch of fabric, it filters over 4 times more than ordinary cloth and is 20 times thinner than a human hair!*
The fibres are especially breathable and super absorbent for a humid climate such as ours. The lotus microfibres absorb 7 times their weight in water, dry 3 times faster than cotton, are smooth on the skin and hypoallergenic. Acala Stem use Dystar dye, a certified Ecotex that contains no heavy metals to produce their signature and unisex colours.
Psst… want Lotus Microfibre face masks for your kids too? Fresh stocks arriving 14th June!
Acala Stem partners with a textile social enterprise in Cambodia which empowers women to work from home with their children in their own provinces, with flexible hours. They’ve already been able to help re-employ 60 women with the growing worldwide demand for these organic face masks.
