In the past several months face masks have been recommended to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. Some states have now mandated face masks while in public. Below you will find over 30 great options for organic cotton face masks for adults and kids.

N95 masks and personal protection gear are being reserved for medical workers. Surgical masks are hard to come by, expensive, and wasteful. Reusable cloth face masks have become a good alternative for face coverings while in public.
While reusable face masks are great, organic cotton face masks are even better. With something so close to your mouth and nose, you want to make sure you aren’t breathing in toxins from the masks. You can avoid the toxins when you buy one of these organic cotton face masks.
Not only are these organic face masks good for you but also for our earth. If the masks use GOTS certified or Oeko-Tex certified fabric that’s even better! You can be ensured they are free from hundreds of toxic chemicals.
Cloth masks are not N95 masks are not rated as such. By wearing a mask it does not mean you can not catch COVID-19 or any other virus. According to the CDC, cloth face masks are to lessen the spread of COVID-19 when combined with preventative actions and social distancing.
Tips for Your Organic Face Masks
- Once you put on your mask, don’t touch your masks until you are ready to take it off.
- Wash your hands before and after putting on and removing your organic face mask.
- Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth when removing your masks.
- Wash between each use (it’s a good idea to have several reusable face masks).
- Add a filter for extra protection. Several of the masks below have space for a filter.
- Your mask should be worn over your mouth and nose.
- Masks should not be worn by those ages 2 and under.
- When used for older children make sure they can breathe easily (make sure you can breathe easily as well).
- Still maintain 6 feet distance between yourself and others.

Hey Shannon!
Thank you so much for compiling such an extensive list of non-toxic masks! I’ve purchased and tried a bunch of masks from this list but I’m still on the search for the “perfect” mask for each member of my family. Every face/head is different and it seems no one mask will satisfy every person. Thank you for giving me additional options to try.
Just wanted to share that I recently purchased some adult masks from a company called “graf lantz.”
Here is the link: https://graf-lantz.com/pages/organic-cotton-face-masks
I emailed them and they confirmed that the masks are GOTS certified. They also have an option for filters. They also told me that they are looking into making masks for kids soon.
Thank you again for all of your hard work!
Hi there I am looking for kids Gots Certified Masks that will ship to Canada or are I’m Canada do you know of specific companies that will?
Thanks Sheryl
I don’t know which ones ship to Canada or not – sorry I couldn’t help more!
Due to improper waste management techniques. A huge number of face mask waste went directly to the oceans which is harmful to our ecosystem. So we need to switch to reusable cotton masks. I am also using a 100 % organic and reusable cotton mask from optimallyorganic
