FACE MASKS

The Cactus Washable Face Mask

We are constantly iterating on our products at Cactus. Following customer feedback, we have designed a new Cactus Face Mask that's washable, with replaceable filters (while doing our best to keep all of the goodness from our previous mask).  

This Face Mask in a nutshell:

• The woven wool-filter is designed to be more than twice as easy to breathe through than standard masks.
  
• The filter media used in the mask filters 99% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size - for reference, to meet N95 standard, a filter must block 95% of these particles.
  
• We've designed it to seal snugly around the face for superior protection with an adjustable nose-wire to form a protective seal. 
  
• Made in NZ - 100% cotton outer and a NZ wool-filter.

IMPORTANT: 

• As mentioned above, the filter is tested in-house to P2/N95 levels.
• This face mask is washable but the filter must be removed (check care tab for further information).
  
• This face mask comes with one filter inside it, and replaceable filter packs are available for purchase.
• Check the care tab above for when to replace your filter.  
  
• Wearing the mask cannot fully remove the risk of infection or contracting a disease.
• Due to face masks being a sanitary product, we cannot accept them for return, refund or exchange for any reason. We recognise this is quite different from the regular Cactus stance on returns/refunds/exchanges but unfortunately the nature of this product gives us no other option.
  
• Stop using the mask immediately if breathing becomes difficult.
• This Face Mask is a consumer product. It is not a respirator. It is not a medical device. It is not PPE.

Background: 

Cactus have teamed up with Lanaco to create a highly efficient, portable Face Mask. We’ve placed Lanaco’s HELIX® woven Filter Media - an innovative natural wool filter - into a soft cotton outer. And voila, filtration that blocks harmful particles, pollution, bacteria and virus. The HELIX®Filter Media, scientifically tested within an inch of its life, proves kiwi sheep have got the goods to protect their two legged friends. In fact it’s so good, NASA are currently testing it to protect their space team. 

Cactus Face Mask Filters

We are constantly iterating on our products at Cactus. Following customer feedback, we have designed a new Cactus facemask that's washable, with replaceable filters.

Replaceable filter pack: 

• 5 filters in a pack
• The wool-filter is designed to be more than twice as easy to breathe through than standard masks.
  
• The filter media filters 99% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size - for reference, to meet N95 standard, a filter must block 95% of these particles.
• Made in NZ.

IMPORTANT: 

• As mentioned above, the filter is tested in-house to P2/N95 levels.
  
• Do not wash the filter. The face mask is washable, but without the filter. Check care tab for further information.
• Check the care tab above for when to replace your filter.  
  
• Wearing the mask cannot fully remove the risk of infection or contracting a disease.
• Due to Filters & Face Masks being a sanitary product, we cannot accept them for return, refund or exchange for any reason. We recognise this is quite different from the regular Cactus stance on returns/refunds/exchanges but unfortunately the nature of this product gives us no other option.
• Stop using the mask immediately if breathing becomes difficult.
  
• This Face Mask is a consumer product. It is not a respirator. It is not a medical device. It is not PPE.
• This filter works by trapping particles and micro-organisms in the fine filter threads. As such, over time it will need replacing. We would recommend filters being replaced (and the mask itself being washed) every month for normal use and more regularly for heavy use).

NOTE: Face asks may come with a slightly different binding than pictured (the edging of the mask) due to our raw materials in stock.

This Face Mask in a nutshell:

• The filter media used in the mask filters 99% of particles down to 0.3 microns in size - for reference, to meet N95 standard, a filter must block 95% of these particles. Our mask therefore exceeds this level by a wide margin.

• Made in NZ - 100% cotton outer and a NZ woven wool-filter.

• This face mask is reusable but not washable (check care tab for further information).
• This face mask does not have replaceable filters, but can be used many times.   This filter works by trapping particles and micro-organisms in the fine filter threads. As such, over time it will need replacing.
