The present disclosure relates to compositions including a fatty acid soap/fatty acid mixture, and methods of use thereof. The compositions include a C5 to C12 fatty acid or mixtures thereof. The compositions show increased activity, e.g., insecticidal, soil removal, antimicrobial activity, at a controlled pH range of about 7.5 to about 9.0.

A face mask and/or face mask insert infused with specifically aged Artemisia argyi pieces or moxa and at least one essential oil, configured to facilitate the purification of air breathed by a user via the filtration of particulates and pathogens, as well as eradication of pathogens via the natural antiviral and antibacterial properties inherent in Artemisia argyi. Further, a nasal spray, infused with Artemisia argyi, bundled with the face mask and/or face mask insert, is present to enhance the antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties imbued to the face coverings.
