  • It has filtering abilities just like an N99, as well as a self-purifying feature.
  • The transparency allows you to display your face while still having the maximum protection that a mask can give.
  • You get 99% pure air whenever you draw air, because of the filters.

With wearing face masks becoming the norm for most parts of the world, it’s not surprising that so many varieties of masks have come out in the market. From the expensive high-tech ones to cheap ones made of washable fabrics in every color and pattern imaginable, it looks like we would never run out of choices in covering our faces.

Now the latest is nothing less than an FDA-registered mask, the first in the world. Named LEAF Mask, this one has filtering abilities just like an N99, as well as a self-purifying feature made possible by a built-in UV-C light.

Perhaps the most striking feature of the LEAF Mask is the transparent material.

This allows you to display your face while still having the maximum protection that a mask can give. This is very important for those who feel limited with wearing masks that pretty much hide one’s facial expressions.

The unibody mask is made of medical-grade silicone designed for universal fit.

The LEAF has filters located around the chin. This keeps the cheeks, nose, and mouth visible to everyone, giving your face a friendlier look. Other people can see your identity and can read your lips and facial expressions.

With this, it means that you can still use your smartphone’s facial-unlock feature without having to remove your mask.

The LEAF also addresses a common problem with most masks – fogging. It is designed in such a way that the surface won’t become cloudy when you breathe. Also, you get 99% pure air whenever you draw air, because of the filters.

The mask comes in three variants:
The LEAF HEPA, which has N99+ HEPA filtration and ultra-lightweight feel.
The LEAF UV, which comes with UV-C sterilization built into the filter and active-Carbon filtration to eliminate odors and organic substance.

The LEAF PRO, which is equipped with active ventilation and air quality sensing. It also has an iOS/Android app-controlled ventilation air-quality sensor.

Each variety comes in 4 different sizes, which includes children. With its re-usability and long-lasting filters, the LEAF Mask is considered environment-friendly especially now that disposable masks are considered as threat to nature. The filters can last a month, thanks to active sterilization.
