CELLIANT® is a natural blend of IR-emitting bioceramic minerals that is embedded into fibers and yarns, or printed as a coating on top of fabrics, and is a key health and wellness ingredient used by world‑class brands.
CELLIANT’s team of scientists have selected naturally occurring, bioceramic minerals for their unique IR properties such as energy absorption, emissions and reflection. These minerals are ground into a super-fine powder that represents the core CELLIANT formula. This formula can be embedded directly into the core of fibers, or printed as a coating on top of fabrics.
CELLIANT minerals capture escaping body heat, convert it into infrared energy and reflect it back into the body. The tissue and muscle then absorb the infrared, even through multiple layers of fabrics, resulting in improved local circulation, making more tissue oxygen available to your cells. Due to the increase in local circulation and cellular oxygenation, a host of additional wellness benefits occur due to the body being optimized at the cellular level. This includes stronger performance, quicker recovery and more restful sleep.
We know CELLIANT works because of Hologenix’s dedication to scientific research. CELLIANT has a Science Advisory Board that works with primary investigators to rigorously test and validate the science of infrared and its benefits. This includes experts in photobiology, nanotechnology, sleep medicine, human physiology, diabetes and wound care. To date, CELLIANT has 10 peer-reviewed published studies that collectively demonstrate the benefits of CELLIANT and infrared energy.

While the closer to the skin the better, CELLIANT can still provide benefits through layers of fabric — for instance, you will still receive the benefits of infrared while sleeping on CELLIANT sheets while wearing pajamas. Based on research, it is understood that infrared light penetrates the body up to 1.5 inches (4 cm.)
Yes. As a rule of thumb, the higher the percentage of CELLIANT (that’s called a ‘load’), the more effective the garment will be in increasing local circulation and improving cellular oxygenation – until a maximum increase is reached that varies by person. CELLIANT has a rigorous testing protocol to ensure that partners understand and adhere to the loading instructions required to ensure efficacy of the product.
The increase in tissue oxygenation derived from CELLIANT infrared technology will be measurable anywhere from 5-30 minutes from use.
For all practical purposes, when you are no longer in close proximity to the CELLIANT product, you will stop getting its direct benefits.
Infrared, sometimes called infrared light, is electromagnetic energy with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, that make it invisible to the human eye. The benefits of infrared on the human body have been shown to help the body thermoregulate more effectively, to increase energy, endurance and stamina, to improve performance and comfort, and to aid in a more restful sleep.
No. CELLIANT works by capturing and converting body heat into infrared. This causes increased local circulation, which will help your body better thermoregulate itself. So, when you are hot CELLIANT will help keep you cool, and when you are cool CELLIANT will help warm you up.
Our full library of peer-reviewed, published studies can be found on our website alongside a summary of key outcomes from each: https://celliant.com/science/clinical-trials. We also share these files with our partner network within our Partner Resources drive.
We ensure that CELLIANT is integrated at the percentage/load required to be effective based on the product type and construction. All fabrics containing CELLIANT undergo rigorous testing for quality assurance and efficacy.
Physical testing shows that CELLIANT-powered fabrics can dry up to 30% faster than traditional fabrics. The infrared energy generated back into the body from CELLIANT helps to vaporize and dissipate water (sweat or rain) before the fabric becomes soaked. This quick-drying feature is a natural property of CELLIANT and doesn’t require durable water repellent finish (DWR) to improve the dry rate. In fact, CELLIANT dries best without additional finishes.
Physical testing shows that CELLIANT-powered fabrics can dry up to 30% faster than traditional fabrics. The infrared energy generated back into the body from CELLIANT helps to vaporize and dissipate water (sweat or rain) before the fabric becomes soaked. This means CELLIANT-powered fabrics, compared to traditional fabrics, help inhibit odor by keeping fabrics dry and limiting odor causing bacteria.
Yes, CELLIANT is a mix of naturally occurring mineral and trace elements. None of these ingredients are harmful, nor is the combination of them harmful.
No. CELLIANT has been extensively tested for skin irritation, including tests for cytotoxicity, skin irritation, sensitization and leeching. CELLIANT passed all tests and thus is biocompatible. CELLIANT is completely safe and does not pose any health risks unless one reacts to the fabric carrier itself (for example, someone who is allergic to wool should not wear CELLIANT wool garments).
CELLIANT is durable and will last the useful life of the product. It won’t fade away when you wash it, and the temperature you use to wash your clothes won’t affect how well it works, though it is important to always follow the individual item’s care instructions as provided on the care tag.
