I’m ecstatic to be sharing my recommendations for where to buy masks and make your purchase count by supporting companies that are giving back to the community!
I recently partnered with the State of California for their #SlowTheSpread #YourActionsSaveLives campaign about the importance of wearing a mask. I’ve always been an advocate for wearing masks, way before COVID! I was born and raised in Japan where mask-wearing is the norm. In Japan, we wear masks not only for ourselves but to keep our loved ones and neighbors safe.
Here in the United States, there’s been a political backlash on wearing masks, with a feeling that it’s somehow “taking away freedom,” which I think is absolutely absurd. Now we’re seeing the US paying the price for this backlash, as one of the most contaminated, and now unwelcome visitors, countries around the world.
For those of us that care about protecting our country, neighbors, family, and our own well-being, it’s been a welcome treat to see companies adding masks to their repertoire while giving back to the community.
So without further ado, I’ve compiled a list of 10 companies that are selling masks and giving back.
American Eagle | $9.95 per Mask + Scrunchie Set
How cute is the matching mask and scrunchie set from American Eagle? I love the idea of wearing a mask but making it fashion! This set comes in a few adorable prints, but if you don’t want a scrunchie set, you can buy individual masks as well.
The good stuff: 20% of American Eagle’s mask sales goes to the Crisis Text Line.
Ello Masks | $29.99 for 3 Masks
When COVID first hit the U.S and masks were at a shortage, Ello Masks was one of the only companies that were manufacturing and shipping masks out quickly. If you’re wondering where to buy masks that are made in the U.S (in downtown Los Angeles), here’s one! I can attest – I personally own 6 of their masks and love the quality. They’re also my husband’s first choice mask!
The good stuff: For every mask purchase you make, a mask is donated to a local charity, hospital, or other group in need.
Dippin Daisys | $10 per Mask
If you’re wondering where to buy masks that are unique, look no further! Dippin Daisys, a swimsuit company, was quick to start making masks from leftover swimsuit fabric. How genius and eco-friendly is that? Their masks come in a huge range of colors and prints. For all of you parents out there, the Mommy & Me matching sets are adorable, too!
The good stuff: Buy one, give one. For every mask purchased, a mask is donated to medical patients and front-line workers, including medical supplies providers, delivery drivers, etc.
Nordstrom | $24 for 6 Masks + Free Shipping
While Nordstrom carries masks from different brands, they’re producing their own masks at a great price. I love that you get so many at once and that it’s always free shipping from Nordstrom.
The good stuff: For every package of masks purchased, Nordstrom will donate a mask to help protect kids and families in the communities they serve.
Etsy (Lewa Collective) | $12 per Mask
Not only can you support a small business during these trying times, this particular Etsy shop, Lewa Collective, is also doing good. Their fabrics are sustainably sourced and ethically crafted. These masks in particular are 100% cotton and gives back to the community through their sustainable practices.
The good stuff: For each mask purchased from this listing, a mask is donated to someone in need in the community through Mask Helpers (www.maskhelpers.org).
Alice and Olivia | $10 per Mask
Alice and Olivia put their iconic print on their masks! You can see how their masks fit here on my gorgeous Editor, Grace! They have plenty of other beautiful prints, too.
The good stuff: Alice and Olivia will be donating 100,000 masks to healthcare institutions and essential workers in need.
Everlane | $25 for 5 Masks
Everlane’s made simple, black masks that say, ‘100% Human’. They’re also 100% cotton so it’s super breathable during warmer months and machine washable.
The good stuff: For every 100% Human Face Mask 5-Pack sold, Everlane will be donating 10% sales to the ACLU. To date, they’ve donated over $600K through this program.
Beyond Yoga |$25 for 2 Masks + Free Shipping
I was so happy to see that one of my favorite brands ever, Beyond Yoga, is creating masks for good. If these masks are anything like their leggings, they’re going to feel ah-mazing on your face. Plus, some of the prints match their leggings/sports bras!
The good stuff: When you purchase this 2-pack of face masks, Beyond Yoga will donate 2 masks to essential workers who need them.
Forever21 | $5 per Mask
Say what you will about fast fashion but I was glad to see Forever21 is selling reasonably priced masks that everyone can afford. They have an insane number of different styles and prints, and of course, they’re giving back too!
The good stuff: Forever 21 is donating non-medical face masks to Family Promise to ensure vulnerable and low-income families continue to receive the support they need during the COVID-19 pandemic.
ASOS | $23 for 3 Masks + Free Shipping
If you’re looking for even more variety, definitely check out ASOS’s mask collection. They have tons of prints, styles and free shipping!
The good stuff: ASOS will donate $1 for every sale of this product to Oxfam’s Coronavirus Emergency Response Appeal. Oxfam is a registered charity in England and Wales and Scotland.
Pin for later!
