Abstract
A material and method delivering to the skin therapeutic radiation and filtering a part of the sun spectrum causing skin damage.
Claims44
A protective material comprising a material having the following optical properties:
- absorption of at least a substantial proportion of the electromagnetic radiation in sunlight that causes skin damage;
- and
- transmission of a substantial amount of the electromagnetic radiation in sunlight that has therapeutic effect for the human skin.
A protective material comprising a material having the following optical properties:
- absorption of at least a substantial proportion of the electromagnetic radiation in sunlight that causes skin damage;
- and
- converting at least part of the absorbed radiation to radiation having therapeutic effect on human skin.
A protective material comprising a material having the following optical properties:
- absorption of at least a substantial proportion of the electromagnetic radiation in sunlight that causes skin damage;
- transmission of at least a part of the electromagnetic radiation in sunlight that has a therapeutic effect on human skin;
- and
- converting at least part of the absorbed radiation to radiation that has a therapeutic effect on human skin.
A portable-item which includes at least a portion made from a material having optical properties such that in use, when being carried or worn by a wearer in sunlight, said material can protect at least an area of the wearer's skin from electromagnetic radiation in sunlight that causes skin damage, while allowing radiation that has a therapeutic effect on human skin to be transmitted from said material to said area of the wearer's skin.
A method for protection of the skin from electromagnetic radiation in sunlight that causes skin damage, the method comprising the following step:
- delivering some of the electromagnetic radiation from sunlight to the skin, through a material having the following optical properties:
- absorption of at least a substantial proportion of the electromagnetic radiation in sunlight that causes skin damage;
- and
- transmission of a substantial amount of electromagnetic radiation in sunlight that has therapeutic effect for the human skin;
- and thereby allowing exposure of the skin to electromagnetic radiation from sunlight that has therapeutic effect for human skin.
A method for protection of the skin from electromagnetic radiation in sunlight that causes skin damage, the method comprising the following step:
- preventing delivery of at least some of the electromagnetic radiation in sunlight to the skin, by providing a barrier to sunlight, said barrier being at least partially formed by a material having the following optical properties:
- absorption of at least a substantial proportion of the electromagnetic radiation in sunlight that causes skin damage;
- converting at least part of the absorbed radiation to radiation having therapeutic effect on human skin;
- and thereby allowing exposure of the skin to electromagnetic radiation that has therapeutic effect for human skin.
