Protecting what's inside

How can we help?

Did you know that recent research has discovered that light damages the components of many consumer goods, including cosmetics, beverage and food products? Did you know that even exposure to retail lights or lights in your own home or refrigerator can cause damage to elements and reduce nutritional content? Did you know that consumers can and do notice the changes in color, smell and texture due to exposure to light?

Consumers expect more from their retailers and brands than ever before. They expect more quality. They expect more value. Noluma was created to maintain consumers’ expectations.

Noluma can measure, assess and guide the design of your packaging to deliver the highest level of light protection, so that your products deliver exactly what consumers expect.

The light protection technology used by Noluma helps guide companies in redesigning their packaging, allowing their products to stay fresher longer, providing the same quality, freshness and nutrients that consumers have come to expect from their favorite brands.

What is light protection?

Similar to how clothing fades in the sun, or skin is burned, packaged goods can also be negatively impacted by exposure to all kinds of lights including: retail, refrigerator, fluorescent and LED.

From food and beverages to pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, exposure to LED and fluorescent lights can degrade what’s inside consumers’ favorite brands and products.

The patented technology used by Noluma measures a product’s packaging for its ability to protect against light exposure. Once the light protection capacity of the packaging is determined, we will work with you on efficiently optimizing your packaging design for light protection. Your new, light-protected packaging, designed and certified by Noluma, means your products are securely safe from light exposure that degrades freshness, nutrients, and sensory qualities through their full shelf life.

Different types of packaging and different kinds of products can have varying levels of light protection, but Noluma only certifies packaging that meets our high performance standards.

The Proof

• Scientific research shows that packaged goods can be negatively impacted when exposed to these kinds of light, causing their quality, freshness and nutritional qualities to change.
• From retail lighting to the light in a refrigerator, exposure can cause products to spoil faster and impair the quality of everything from food and beverages to pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.
• For example, indoor light exposure can evolve what was originally a high-quality product like extra virgin olive oil, into a less premium one due to photo-oxidation.
• In milk for example, flavor starts to degrade after just 15 minutes of exposure to light, while nutrients like Vitamin A can be cut in half in 16 hours.
