As part of its commitment to serve customers during this unprecedented time and enable them to stay safe, the company will provide access to protective equipment during the nationwide lockdown owing to COVID-19.

Wildcraft HYPASHIELD protection mask – offers a – three layered filtration system for three types of particles. The outer layer is engineered to filter coarser dust particles, while the middle layer offers anti-bacterial, govt. approved lab-certified filtration efficiency, along with splash resistance to prevent droplet penetration. The innermost layer, made of super soft fabric, is closest to skin and offers moisture management with an anti-bacterial finish.
The masks are built for protection and comfort and fit a wide range of face shapes and sizes. They adhere to the highest standards of quality and safety and are washable and hence, reusable leading to a significant reduction in per-usage cost as well as making them environment-friendly. These special masks are available in in packs of 3, 5 and 7 and are priced at Rs. 200/piece.
