Within the scope of this study, it is aimed to transfer moringa oil, which is widely used in the cosmetic industry with its moisturizing feature, to 100% cotton and washable masks with liposomes in order to reduce the discomfort caused to the skin by the masks that entered our lives with the pandemic. For this purpose, 3 different concentrations of liposomes containing moringa oil were produced and optimization studies were carried out by SEM and particle size analysis. After determining the optimum recipe, the obtained liposomes were transferred to the masks by the impregnation method. In order to detect the presence of moringa oil in the masks, GC analyzes were performed. In order to examine the washing resistance of the masks, they were subjected to 5 washings and their usage properties were examined with water resistance and water vapor permeability tests. As a result of the analyzes, it was determined that the liposomes containing moringa oil were successfully transferred onto the masks and were resistant to 5 washings. According to the results of GC-MS analysis, it was determined that the basic components of moringa oil persisted on the masks even after 5 washes. It was observed that the transferred liposomes did not have a negative effect on the water vapor permeability and waterproofing properties of the fabrics
