blumöd quick facts

Dr. Stephen Mulholland takes us through the healing properties of the Blumod line of UV protective clothing from Sunsoul.

blumöd material is a special combination of micro-fibre nylon and spandex (84/16) which allows transmission of the sun's healthy rays, while the dense knit prevents transmission of the harmful UV rays
blumöd material is treated with a proprietary 'fluorescent blue pigment system'on one side that amplifies the sun's naturally occurring blue light. UV is captured by the fluorescent pigments and converted from the UV range - 300-400 nm - into the blue range.
The blumöd material also selectively transmits existing blue and infrared rays from the sun and delivers these rays to the skin.

The result is a high level of blue light delivered to the skin along with significant levels of infrared rays also reaching the skin
Blue light is proven to be effective in eradicating acne causing bacteria.
Blue light interacts with porphyrin from the bacteria and naturally occurring oxygen to produce a singlet oxygen which is lethal to the bacteria - this is an example of Photo-Dynamic Therapy
Infrared light is proven and common in skin healing procedures in physician offices and spas.
Infrared light causes the hemoglobin in our blood cells to release nitric oxide which is a vasodilator. The dilation provides greater blood flow to damaged skin cells and tissues, resulting in a speedier healing process with damage skin tissues. This damage may be due to aging, or overexposure to the sun's UV rays.
blumöd material offers the benefits of high-end sport fabric in that it is light weight, breathable and wicks moisture away from the skin
blumöd material has been shown in three separate clinical trials done in New Zealand/Austrailia, Hong Kong and Canada, to be effective in managing mild to moderate acne.
The average dose of sunlight to manage acne is about 2 hours per week in the sun wearing the blumöd products - this exposure will deliver about the same dose of blue light as one would receive in a dermatologist's office from a light device.
The dose of blue light from blumöd material is about 8 mW/cm2.
