Reusable Organic & Sustainable Face Masks for Kids
Recently, we shared a list of 15 brands producing sustainable and organic masks for adults. But what about the kids? Fortunately, some of those brands also make masks for children. Although it can be a challenge to get my two-year-old to wear one, it’s essential for children over six years old in most places. So, why not choose something organic and comfortable for their face?
Arraei Collective

Price | $15
Arraei Collective is making sustainable zero-waste cloth face masks with natural fibers in Vancouver, BC. Through their Give Back philosophy, they will be donating 1 mask for everyorderto theDowntown Eastside Women’s Center, to a local old age home, The Vancouver Police Department and to various charities and women’s centre’s. Because of their demand, they have essentially used all of their fabric waste!!
Groceries Apparel

You buy 3. They give 3! Forevery 3-packpurchased, a 3-pack is donated. Groceries Apparel makes two different masks for adults and this fun one for kids!

Elastic can be tightened with a knot. One size fits most kids.

Made Trade took their time to source the highest quality fabrics, made a bulk of prototypes to ensure the fit was just right and employed local Portland sewers to make our face masks. Their reusable, non-medical grade face masks comply with CDC and Kaiser Permanente’s guidelines for cloth face coverings, are made with the highest quality sustainable fabrics and feel incredibly soft on your face! P.S. they have a new striped one, too!

Some more pretty patterns from a great fair trade brand! These masks by Passion Lilie are handmade in New Orleans. While the adults have different styles, the kid’s masks come with cotton ties and pleated fabric. Please note the pictures are just a small sampling of the fabrics they have to offer. Due to the fact that supplies are very limited they are not offering fabric selections, but youcan add to the notes your preference!
Sustain by Kat
Material | Organic Cotton
Price | $16
Clean and simple face mask made with undyed colorgrown organic cotton (did you know cotton grows green?!) and natural rubber elastic. Natural rubber elastic is so hard to come by so I think this mask is absolutely great! They are also zero-waste, and ethically designed and manufactured in Los Angeles using upcycled organic cotton production scraps. Besides the colors pictured, kid’s can also purchase a fun indigo print, too.
United by Blue

I think these ones are great for men, too! For each 3 pack purchased, one mask will be donated toChosen 300to benefit Philadelphia residents experiencing homelessness. Each mask is made from deadstock fabric witha blend of Hemp, Organic Cotton, and Recycled Polyester ethically is one of theirprimary apparel factories in China. Love all the different prints and colors for kids!

Hi Natalie!
I totally feel you with how difficult it might be to get our little ones to wear the masks. I wrote an article about face masks and I added some tricks that can help. With my little one, it works most of the time the Mommy and Me masks. So we go matchy-matchy and it is fun! There are more tricks in the blog post if someone might be interested.
