What Is It and Does It Work?
Mask purifer is a combination of essential oils, water and alcohol.
It can obviously help and it's better than nothing.
It hasn't been FDA or CDC or WHO approved because I don't have the money or the
time to do double blind studies. Why do I think it'll work?
Here's What We Know
~The CDC advises that face masks should be cleaned after each use. Citation
~The best way to clean a mask is to wash it and dry it in a hot
dryer. Citation
~Corona virus might only live 24 hours on cloth. One study cited
by the World Health Organization, WHO, found that Corona on cloth dies in
24 hours but this is dependant on the fabric and temperature and humidity.
Logically then, if you have one mask to wear to work and one sitting at
home to quarantine for 24 hours, you'd be safe. Citation
Citation
~Heat kills Corona virus. Citation
~ Alcohol also kills Corona Virus. Citation
~70% alcohol is better than 99% because it doesn't evaporate as fast and can
stay in contact with the germs longer. Citation
~Drinking alcohol doesn't prevent Covid. (Dang!) Citation
~The more exposure to the virus, the higher
the risk of getting covid-19 and the higher the severity of symptoms. Citation

Here's Reality
I’ve made hundreds of face masks. I recommend that my
customers wash masks daily or at least a couple of times a week in the laundry
or in the kitchen sink. And on the days they can't wash it I advise that they
should iron their mask with a hot steam iron. I've talked to a lot of people
about how they clean their masks and here's what I've found:
~Most people don’t clean their masks at all.
~About half the people I talk to don't own an iron.
~A lot of people just keep their mask hanging from the
rear view mirror, never taking it in the house to clean it.
Common Sense Tells Us:
~Something is better than nothing. If
you're not going to wash or iron your mask to kill the virus, it can't hurt to
reduce the viral load on your mask.
~If alcohol can kill the virus on our hands and
surfaces, it should be able to kill it on cloth masks. This of course depends on
the saturation.
~Covid-19 is dose-dependant. Viral load is a factor in
whether or not you get sick from exposure to the Corona virus. Viral load is
also a factor in how sick you get.
Can Essential Oils Kill Corona
Virus?
Maybe. A study done in India in 2017, long before the advent of the
corona virus, found that a combination of Eucalyptus globulus, Cinnamon,
Rosemary and carrot seed essential oils significantly reduced viral units for
H1N1 and HSV1. Citation
This formula is found in my Cinna-Mask
formula. There are studies and a lot of claims that
various essential oils are anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and even anti-viral. But
since we have no research showing that essential oils can kill this specific
virus, we need to stick with what we know: Corona can be killed with the passage
of time, heat or alcohol. So
Why Put Essential Oils
in a Mask Purifier?
Various essential oils have properties that may help with stress,
immunity, nausea and headaches to name a few. Plus they smell nice!
