Through extensive research and collaboration with aizome masters and scientific experts, founders Michel and Misa May developed Aizome Ultra, a patented ultrasonic dyeing method that permanently binds medicinal plant molecules to fibres. This dyeing method permanently attaches medicinal plant molecules to fibres, resulting in an exclusive collection of hypoallergenic, antibacterial fabrics, the company said in a press release.
"Aizome Ultra utilises a natural, timeless resource—plants—as decades of scientific studies show the therapeutic properties of natural dyes," said Sudeep Motupalli Rao, head scientist and founder of Slowtech Labs.
The therapeutic properties of natural dyes from plants such as indigo, rubia, and sumac, are harnessed in Aizome's textile products. The multiple advantages that these products provide include anti-inflammation, antioxidation, improved blood circulation, pain relief, and stress reduction.
