SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN GEAR
The HEMP BLACK™ fusion line introduces two proven innovative textile technologies into one product. The fusion / FACE MASK and fusion / FLEX GAITER combine the technologies of antimicrobial copper material and our odour neutralising HEMP BLACK / element yarn, both strategically integrated for maximum benefits.
PROVEN ANTIMICROBIAL CAPABILITIES
Backed by science, the patented copper technology utilises the inherent power of copper to reduce and kill surface level fomites. A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated that the SARS-CoV-2 is most stable on plastic and stainless steel. That same study concluded that copper successfully inactivated the new coronavirus. When a surface kills a virus, it is no longer a fomite and therefore not a vector of disease.

A PRACTICAL SOLUTION TO COMMON MASK WEARING COMPLAINTS
HEMP BLACK™ / element is a strategically engineered fibre that introduces hemp into the garment. With our proprietary hemp embedded into the DNA of the fiber, we are able to offer a novel solution to common mask wearing problems. “Maskne,” “mask breath,” “face chafe” and more are terms that have become all too familiar for many in our new normal.
HEMP BLACK™ / element has been third party tested and proven to reduce of P. acnes, a bacteria responsible for causing breakouts. Results revealed that the hemp in HEMP BLACK™ / element kills P. acnes bacteria by more than 99%. In fact, the scientists were unable to recover any evidence of P. acnes growth at 6 hours and 24 hours after treating the bacterial culture with the material.

HEMP BLACK™ / element is a strategically engineered fiber that introduces hemp extract into the garment. With our proprietary hemp substrate embedded into the DNA of the fiber, we are able to offer a novel solution to common mask wearing problems. “Maskne,” “mask breath,” “face chafe” and more are terms that have become all too familiar for many in our new normal.
HEMP BLACK™ / element has been third party tested and proven to reduce of P. acnes, a bacteria responsible for causing breakouts. Results revealed that the hemp flower extract in HEMP BLACK™ / element kills P. acnes bacteria by more than 99%. In fact, the scientists were unable to recover any evidence of P. acnes growth at 6 hours and 24 hours after treating the bacterial culture with the material.
SUSTAINABLE AND 100% AUSTRALIAN OWNED
Our reusable zero-waste face covering products eliminate post-consumer waste. Conservationists warn that soon there may be more masks than jellyfish in the Mediterranean Sea. About 129 billion face masks are being used each month, and many are ending up in our oceans, which is why we are donating a portion of proceeds from our new ocean-inspired fusion / FACE MASKS to help keep our oceans clean.

More Info
What is the Hemp Black fusion / FACE MASK?
Our fusion / FACE MASK is a cloth covering that is strategically engineered through 3D multilayer technology. This mask features a copper infused antimicrobial exterior and an odour neutralising HEMP BLACKTM / element interior.
What is antimicrobial copper technology?
Copper offers continuous product protection against bacterial growth when embedded into fibres.
What is HEMP BLACK™ / element?
A strategically engineered and adaptive fibre that harnesses the power of odour neutralising hemp.
Is this an N-95 respirator?
This mask is not medical grade. Surgical masks and N95 respirators are in short supply and should be reserved for healthcare workers or other medical first responders, as recommended by CDC guidance.
Does this mask prevent me from getting COVID-19?
Face coverings are not intended to protect the wearer, but it may prevent the spread of virus from the wearer to others. This would be especially important if someone is infected but does not have symptoms.
How many times can I wash and reuse this mask?
The Hemp Black fusion / FACE MASK will continue to function as a cloth mask, preventing the spread of virus, regardless of the frequency of use and wash.
How often should I wash this mask?
The government recommends washing after use.
Is this mask more sustainable than others?
The Hemp Black fusion / FACE MASK is knit with 3D multilayer technology that produces zero waste. Designed, engineered and 100% made in the USA by an Australian company, this mask is more durable and sustainable than other cloth options.

What is HEMP BLACK™ / element?
A strategically engineered and adaptive fibre that harnesses the power of odour neutralising hemp.
Strategically engineered for protection through multilayer 3D knitting
The high-tech 3D manufacturing features lightweight construction and an optimal arrangement of fibres which enhances breathability and structure. This wrinkle free composition produces no waste during manufacturing and retains shape wear after wear.
Seamless fit for comfort
The Hemp Black fusion / FACE MASK is produced with seamless stitch shaping that contours for a custom face seal and features knit-in stretch straps for enhanced comfort.
Australian owned. Designed, engineered and 100% made in the USAl
Innovated in Philadelphia. Engineered and produced in North Carolina, by leading Australian hemp company. Our controlled domestic supply chain allows for a fast turnaround and the ability to continuously improve the fit, function and design.
