Manila Oriental x Kaya Essentials : Kapwa Care Kit Deluxe
Better together.
This limited edition kit is built with the purpose of putting Kapwa into practice - the Filipino cultural belief that we should promote equality, inclusiveness and the well-being of all, because we are interconnected. Our shared humanity makes us one. Kapwa shows care for ourselves and others through mask wearing and ensuring clean and healthy hands. With the purchase of each kit, we will donate one full week (two weeks with the Deluxe Kit) of food to Kusina ng Kalinga, a program by the non-profit Gawad Kalinga to end hunger among Filipino children.
For the safety of our team, no returns or exchanges.

Manila Oriental: Reusable Cloth Face Masks
One size: 7” width across the nose bridge, 6” width across the chin area, 3.5” height on the sides
Two layers of 100% cotton with black elastic ear bands, hand sewn in Seattle — one with original, artist drawn “Kapwa and Cebu Flowerpecker bird” artwork, and the other with original, hand painted “Sampaguita - national flower of the Philippines.”
Includes one removable nose wire to create a bendable nose bridge - this nose wire can be slid into the black nose slot, conformed to your nose, and trimmed if you’d like. This piece was created to be removable and replaceable to increase the longevity of the mask, since the nose wire part is often the first to fail after repeated washings. You can also replace the nose wire with a twist tie.
Recommended mask care: Nose wire may be removed for ease of cleaning. Hand wash or place in a mesh bag to launder on delicate cycle. Air dry. For additional washing instructions, please visit the CDC website: How to Wash Cloth Face Coverings and World Health Organization / Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) advice for the public: When and how to use masks (https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/when-and-how-to-use-masks) for more information. Do not microwave or put in the oven.
This is not an FDA approved product. This product makes no claims of antimicrobial protection, antiviral protection, particulate filtration, or infection prevention or reduction. This product is not intended for use in a medical setting.
This mask should not be placed on young children under age 2, anyone who has trouble breathing, or is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the mask without assistance.
Mask should be washed before first wear and after each use. Avoid adjusting mask or touching your face. The exterior of the mask can become contaminated, so take precautions including washing your hands after touching the mask. Review government websites for additional information and resources.
Organic Grape Alcohol: a non-GMO 70% natural plant-based alcohol that is effective for killing germs, viruses and bacteria. CDC guidelines recommend at least 60% alcohol for disinfecting against Covid-19. Grape alcohol is also a natural preservative, giving you an organic hand sanitizer spray using no chemicals. Unlike rubbing alcohol, plant-based alcohol does not dry out your skin, which can cause dry & irritated skin which makes it easier for bacteria to enter.
Witch Hazel is antimicrobial, adding extra protection while not drying out your skin. Witch hazel is also rich in tannins, a natural plant compound with powerful antioxidant properties that strengthens your skin barrier.
Organic Fractionated Coconut Oil + Organic Aloe Vera Juice: adds moisture into your skin, protecting your skin from dryness.
Organic Tea Tree Essential Oil: the base of our immune boosting blend, tea tree has the highest antibacterial properties, including antifungal and antimicrobial killing bacteria and viruses. Our blend includes notes of peppermint essential oil, lavender essential oil and sweet orange essential, each have antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.
We have chosen an amber glass bottle to protect the potency of essential oils against direct sunlight, ensuring a shelf life of 2 years.
A simple & organic formula without any preservatives or added chemicals, for example, silicone, which is used to give formulas a smooth feel, but because ours is made in small batches, at 5 jars a time, this results in a smooth formula naturally. Our simple formula also allows your skin to access the active ingredients of our coconut oil and mango butter at a higher concentrate, because it doesn't have to filter through a copious amount of other ingredients.
It's important to keep your hands moisturized after hand washing because dry and irritated skin makes it easier for bacteria to enter through our skin barrier. We recommend moisturizing at night before you sleep, so your hands can absorb the hydration fully.
