Hi.

I know nothing about leather so I'm after advice.

I've purchased from etsy, Russian seller, a black chrome tanned cow leather face mask. No not gimp, a covid mask. I intend to wear it over a cloth mask. 

I know chromium is a skin irritant to some, maybe carcinogenic?

My question, is there any safety issues, with wearing on my face? Toxicity?

Thanks.

I made myself a soft mask out of thin chrome tanned leather. I've been wearing it about 2 or 3 times a week, for several hours at a time, for a couple of months now. I'm still here and have no issues.
