“I founded Cambridge Mask Co after moving to Beijing. I saw a lot of young kids get sick from air pollution. They were growing up thinking the air should be coloured in grey in pictures and coughing all day was normal. No one, especially not children, should have to sacrifice their health just by breathing. I developed a family-friendly science-led mask that can help protect children and adults from air pollution. I believe everyone should be able to get out and enjoy life, without having to worry about what they breathe or the way they look. Today we have helped over 1 million people in over 100 countries get the mask they need to help them stay safe from pathogens, urban air pollution, wildfire smoke, traffic fumes or whatever might be damaging their health.”

OUR MASKS
We produce 3 ranges of masks, the PRO, NON-VALVE and BASIC.
The PRO mask lasts for 3-6 months of daily use (200-300 hours) and has filters that use technology developed by the British Military for chemical, nuclear and biological warfare protection. They filter nearly 100% of viruses, bacteria, gas pollution and particulates. They come in a range of 5 sizes and a range of patterns. Each mask comes with a free nose foam and head strap accessory to help ensure maximum filtration and stop glasses fogging.
The BASIC range is tested to filter more than 95% of tiny PM2.5 particulates, which are about 1/50th of the width of a human hair and can go deep into the lungs and potentially into the blood stream. The BASIC masks come in 5 sizes and black or navy colour.
