As an ingredient brand with 60+ partners, we’ve learned that the strongest innovation collaborations are those that are rooted in common values, with brands who share our passion for creating a positive impact with ahead-of-the-curve wellness technology.
Our partnership with Sunlighten, a global leader in infrared saunas and light science, represents the epitome of an ideal innovation alliance, bolstered by a shared appreciation for the transformative power of infrared light.
Sunlighten was established over 20 years ago, after the founder experienced the benefits of infrared light therapy firsthand, transforming his quality of life following an uphill battle with chronic illness. In the years since, Sunlighten has mastered the art of infrared saunas and wellness innovation, driven by a deep commitment to making infrared light therapy as effective as possible.
Sunlighten’s product lineup is meticulously designed to maximize the health benefits of infrared light, providing a blend of luxury and efficacy for a holistic wellness experience. Sunlighten’s unique portable sauna systems help make infrared light therapy more accessible as well as effective.
An infrared sauna is a type of sauna that uses infrared uses infrared heaters to emit infrared light. Sunlighten infrared saunas are equipped with patented SoloCarbon heating technology, which is designed to emit high concentrations of peak infrared waves for maximum health advantages.
While traditional saunas depend on an external heat source, such as electric heaters, wood stoves, or steam to heat the air inside, infrared saunas directly heat the body. This allows for infrared saunas to maintain lower air temperatures than traditional saunas, enabling users to experience the profound benefits of a sauna more comfortably.
Infrared saunas have emerged as a holistic approach to wellness, offering a plethora of health benefits that cater to a wide array of needs and preferences. Central to their appeal is their ability to leveraging the body’s natural detoxification processes, resulting in what Sunlighten refers to as “a more enjoyable and productive sweat.” Sunlighten’s patented infrared sauna heating technology is designed to raise your body’s core temperature by three degrees, the ideal level for optimal detoxification.
Infrared saunas have been demonstrated to increase blood flow throughout the body, offering a method of boosting circulatory well-being that is approachable for people of any fitness level. Sunlighten refers to this physiological change as a “passive cardio workout” — all while you relax and rejuvenate in the sauna.
At CELLIANT®, the concept of passive wellness is something we talk about a lot: CELLIANT infrared technology can be incorporated into textile products to give any fabric the ability to harness the benefits of infrared light. While infrared saunas and IR fabrics are both powerful methods of infrared light therapy on their own, combining the two creates a revolutionary intersection of passive health benefits and infrared technology.
Sunlighten Saunas partnered with CELLIANT in 2021, after co-founder and CEO Aaron Zack discovered CELLIANT as an ingredient in Tom Brady’s bioceramic recovery pajama collection with Under Armour. Upon connecting with our own co-founder and CEO, Seth Casden, the two companies joined forces, marking a partnership of infrared innovators on a mission to deliver infrared light therapy in its most potent form. The result? High-performance infrared saunas and sauna accessories tailored to customers who place a high value on maximizing their time and making the most of their investment.
Zack describes our partnership as a step toward enhancing and extending their infrared sauna experience. “Our CELLIANT-infused fabric works with the sauna’s heat and the body’s natural energy to refuel the body. No other company has more effective infrared, ensuring the infrared penetration into the body for all healing benefits. As soon as I read about CELLIANT technology, I knew we needed it in our saunas and accessories,” he says.
CELLIANT is a blend of natural minerals, selected for their unique properties such as emissivity and reflectance. When embedded into or printed on yarns and fabrics, CELLIANT captures body heat and converts it into infrared energy, which is then reflected back to the body to be absorbed into muscles and tissues. This process increases local circulation and cellular oxygenation, leading to numerous benefits such as faster recovery, more energy, thermoregulation, and even more restful sleep.
Sunlighten offers a range of infrared sauna products and services, from infrared sauna cabins, to portable home saunas, to sauna accessories like infrared towels and body wraps. CELLIANT infrared technology is woven into the textile components of each Sunlighten sauna offering, ensuring that no opportunity for IR integration is missed.
Working in tandem with their SoloCarbon heating technology, the physical heaters within each Sunlighten infrared saunas feature protective CELLIANT infrared covers. While heater covers are a necessary safety precaution, Sunlighten and CELLIANT innovated a high-quality, technical IR-emitting cover that adds another layer of wellness in addition to peace of mind.
Sunlighten’s Solo Sauna System is perfect for those who want to incorporate an infrared sauna into their lifestyle but don’t have the space or budget for a complete sauna cabin. The Solo System is your own personal, easy to set up sauna solution, complete with a CELLIANT-infused pad and curtain for ultimate rejuvenation.
If you have a sauna set up and are looking to add some additional infrared comfort, Sunlighten offers CELLIANT throw pillows, pillow covers, and sauna cushions to personalize your relaxation zone. Or, you can use these infrared pillows outside of the sauna to get the benefits of IR without ever breaking a sweat.
Achieving a spa-like sauna experience is not complete without the perfect luxurious linens. Sunlighten offers a range of towels to complement their sauna services, with the wellness properties of CELLIANT woven into every stitch. The IR linen collection features plush hand and bath towels as well as body wraps.
We look forward to developing and expanding on cutting-edge infrared solutions with Sunlighten as our partnership continues to flourish.
