I love the Blanc Mask for a lot of reasons. Not only is it a functional piece of equipment that gives you 99.97% clean air to breathe while guarding your face, it also serves as a privacy protector, a fashion statement, and the pandemic equivalent of a Guy Fawkes mask – to show that you’re a part of a collective that believes in the protection of one’s health AND one’s anonymity.
It’s no accident that the Blanc Mask looks like a cosplay helmet from some anime series. The mask makes a conscious effort to look nothing like traditional PPE, but at the same time it’s every bit as protective as they are. I’ll dive further into the fashion element after getting the mask’s filter-specifications and overall performance out of the way. The Blanc provides a protective, full-face cover, giving you a tinted visor to look through, and specifically designed air-channels to breathe through. Two high-efficiency SGS-tested HEPA filters make sure the air you breathe is 99.97% pure, trapping any microparticles, microorganisms, and VOCs in the process. The mask itself offers an air-tight seal, while carefully calibrated pathways ensure the air you breathe always passes through a filter, giving you pure air with each breath. Air that you exhale passes out through outlets located at the base of the mask, ensuring your visor never gets fogged up. Should you choose, the Blanc even comes with a unique corrective visor system that gives you prescription visors, so you can effectively wear the mask without spectacles… although the mask’s inner padding offers enough space for you to wear your own glasses.
The Blanc’s highlight however is its form, which is an absolute deviation from anything we’ve ever seen before. Designed to be part fashion statement, part identity-concealer, the mask comes with a relatively opaque design that covers your entire face, barring the eyes, which have a tinted visor in front of them. The full-face design not only works as a traditional face-shield, but it’s quite literally visually a class apart, allowing you to be seen, but unseen. In fact, it’s designed to be modular too, with options to plug in add-ons like Bluetooth earpieces and voice-modulation devices. Pretty cool, eh?!
The mask’s designed to split vertically into two halves, allowing you to snap it on or off in mere seconds; and a wide headband goes around the back of your head, making sure you can wear the mask for hours without feeling any fatigue (especially around the ears, as is the case with most face-masks). Each box-unit of the Blanc Mask comes with 2 sets of replaceable HEPA filters, as well as removable front panels. In fact, you can pick from a variety of Blanc’s own front panels, choosing between color as well as pattern options… although I recommend pairing it with a same-color onesie and cosplaying as an Among Us character!

Blanc – Full-face Modular Mask
The Blanc is a HEPA-enabled full-face modular face mask that protects your eyes, nose and mouth from the outside world.
Keep your identity secure behind its opaque changeable front panels. Adjust the mask to your outfit or any occasion in 2 quick movements. Unclip the existing front panel, and effortlessly snap the new one in place.
Next-Generation Protection
The comfortable air-tight fit allows all air you breathe is sent through 2 SGS-tested replaceable HEPA filters. These high-efficiency filters purify the air you breathe in real-time, ensuring continuous protection wherever you go.
Each mask comes with a pack of 2x HEPA filters that deliver you clean and purified air for up to 14 days (on average). We all understand the benefits of wearing face masks, but not all masks are created equal. Regular masks offer a less-than-adequate fit, allowing air to spill through the gaps.
HEPA filters, or high-efficiency particulate air filters, are a special form of mechanical air filters that force air through a multi-layered fine mesh of angled micro-fibers. This traps harmful particles such as pollen, pet dander, tobacco smoke, pollution and dust mites.
The Mask That Suits Your Style
With its interchangeable magnetic panels, you can easily customize your Blanc’s front panel with different materials, textures, and colors to express yourself.
Protect Your Privacy
Away from face-recognition cameras and nosy onlookers, with Blanc’s full-facial opaque protection, you decide when, where, and with whom you share your personal facial information.
