ubumask is a simple, non invasive way to protect respiratory health and an essential tool to advocate for your own wellness.
As we are exposed to an increasing number of environmental pollutants every day, masks provide immediate protection of your health. ubumask is a tool for wellness, style, and a symbol of care for yourself, the planet and the future.
As an result of many years of research, the innovative and natural filter technology is the key to ubumask's effectiveness.
Protection from airborne particles such as PM 0.3, PM 2.5, PM 10, dust, allergens, post combustion particles, germs, shavings, biologics, odors, scents, mold, mold spores, particles in wildfire smoke, volcanic particulate pollution, and other airborne contaminants, viruses, bacteria and gas pollution with a filter quality of minimum 95%.
An ubumask does not need valves for easier breathing.
Equipped with natural and hypoallergenic filtration technology, the filter material utilises the protective qualities of wool from bred-for-purpose sheep in Wanaka, New Zealand. This wool has been proven to outperform synthetic materials, making it perfect as advanced filter material for our ubumasks.
This innovative filter material includes further advantages, e.g. reducing of noxious gases, inhibiting growth of bacteria and of course superior electrostatic performance for capturing particles. And last but not least, it is also the world's most breathable filter material.
That's why an ubumask is designed to protect the wearer against the following particles:
Air pollutants (including PM10, PM2.5)
An ubumask is KN95 certified, similar to the American N95 and European FFP2 certifications. KN95 is an industry-standard and means that the mask provides
the intended effectiveness of filtering 95 percent of particles with a mass median diameter of 0.3 micrometers. Therefore, our mask can protect you well from PM10,
PM2.5, and even smaller particles.
Pollen
An ubumask can protect you from pollen. Our filter has an efficiency of above 95% at 0,3 μm particle size, whereas normal pollen particles are about 10 - 1000 μm
in size.
Bacteria and germs
An ubumask can help reduce exposure to biological substances, such as bacteria and germs. Please note: However, that wearing a mask cannot eliminate the risk
of infection as it depends on the proper fit of the wearer. An ubumask is not designed for clinical environments, such as hospitals or dentist offices.
Smog
The innovative, advanced and natural filter material can help reduce the particles and chemicals in smog.
Automobile exhaust and smoke
The innovative, advanced and natural filter material deodorizes the air and can help reduce automobile exhaust in your surrounding air.
Odor and fragrance
The innovative, advanced and natural filter material deodorizes the air and can help reduce odors and fragrances in your surrounding air.
Animal Allergens
An ubumask can protect you from animal allergens. Our filter has an efficiency of above 95% at 0,3 μm particle size, whereas normal animal allergen particles are
about 5 - 10 μm in size.
Please note that the effectiveness depends on a proper fit and how the mask is worn.
Yes, an ubumask also protects from odors.

Protection Levels: ubumask enables its wearers to make a choice, which protection level is best for them.
Level 1S (Community & Style) So-called “community/civilian
masks”: Protection from airborne particles such as PM 0.3, PM 2.5, PM
10, dust, allergens,
post combustion particles, germs, shavings, biologics, odors, scents, mold, mold spores, particles in wildfire smoke, volcanic particulate pollution, and other airborne contaminants.
Level 2S (Safe & Style): FFP2/N95-Quality. Like Level 1S, additionally viruses, bacteria, gas pollution with a filter quality of 95%.
Level 3S (Super Safe & Style): FFP3/N99:-Quality. Like Level 2S with a filter quality of 99,6% (Military Grade).
No, our Easy Breathy filters are not washable because of the natural electrostatic properties of the wool to catch small harmful particles, its protein structure capture gases and harmful toxins and yet the fibre is bacteria resistant and flame resistant, but if in contact with water the electrostatic properties will be washed away.
