Brushean can’t replace washing out the brushes with soap and water, but it absolutely helps prevent bacteria and germ build up. Brushean’s design features UV-C LED and ozone sterilization technology that kills up to 99.9% of all bacteria, germs and viruses which collect on the brushes. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a disinfection method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions. Ozone is an extremely effective disinfectant against bacteria and viruses that uses gaseous oxygen with an extra atom loosely bound to the oxygen molecule. Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than X-rays. Ultraviolet radiation covers the wavelength range from 100 to 380 nanometers. The disinfection process uses wavelengths in the UVC range from 240 to 280 nanometers, while the oxidation process uses the wavelengths down to the VUV range below 200 nanometers. The UV lamp used in Brushean’s Makeup Brush Sanitizer has a wavelength of 254 nanometer (nm). Over 100 years ago, scientists discovered that if you exposed pathogens to UV light, their reproduction was limited. The UV light used, resided in the UVC range of the light spectrum. Specifically, they discovered that light in the 254 nanometer (nm) range was the most effective.
