Malaysian cosmetics brand Empro has recently launched a collection of medical and surgical face masks, in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. Available in a multitude of colours to match every outfit, each mask is composed of three layers, including two layers of spunbond fabric and an electrostatic filter, made with melt-blown fabric, for maximum protection.
