The plant's roots can be traced back to the mountains of Europe, particularly in regions with a high altitude, such as the Alps and the Pyrenees.

Many people find that regular use of an infrared sauna can improve their overall health and well-being. Our Sunlighten Sauna Book Now Health Benefits: Body Detox Infrared Sauna Health Benefits Sweating is the body's safe and natural way to heal & stay healthy. Far IR sauna use causes a rise in core temperature resulting in a deep, detoxifying sweat at the cellular level, where toxins reside. Heavy metals are sweat out through the skin. The resulting sweat is detoxifying, removing toxins from the cells. IR therapy has many benefits for overall health. It helps to detoxify the cells, improve circulation, and boost the immune system. Health Benefits: Lower Blood Pressure Our Sunlighten sauna induce a deep sweat to make the heart pump faster, which in turn increases blood flow, helping reduce BP and increase circulation. Sunlighten saunas are backed by clinical research that shows a reduction in systolic and diastolic pressure . Both are key factors in maintaining a healthy heart. Health Benefits: Anti-Aging We provide the most effective wavelength for healing the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production to reduce wrinkles and improve overall skin tone. Health Benefits: Cell Health Near IR therapy stimulates the circulatory system and more fully oxygenate the body's cells. Better blood circulation means more toxins flow from the cellular level to the skin's surface to improve cell health, aid in muscle recovery and strengthen the immune system . Health Benefits: Weight Loss Studies have shown that our sauna session can burn upwards of 600 calories while you relax! As the body works to cool itself, there is a substantial increase in heart rate, cardiac output and metabolic rate, causing you to burn more calories. In fact, a 2009 study showed Sunlighten far infrared therapy to lower weight and waist circumference in just a three-month period. Health Benefits: Relieve Pain Unlike Traditional Saunas, Infrared light therapy penetrates tissue, joints, and muscles to relieve minor aches, muscle soreness, and chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, while speeding up recovery time. A 2013 study conducted at the Auburn University at Montgomery showed that Sunlighten 3-in-1 treatments can increase flexibility up to 3x. Health Benefits: Improve Circulation Sunlighten sauna treatments are like giving your body a passive cardiovascular workout. Heating the muscles with infrared rays produces an increase in blood flow similar to that seen during exercise. IR Light Therapy can significantly stimulate blood flow up to twice the normal rate.

Peruse our FAQs for a comprehensive understanding. Click to discover how Hyaluronic Acid can elevate your skincare regimen! Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic Acid, also known as HA, is a powerful humectant that's naturally present in our skin, connective tissues, and eyes. It has the unique ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, making it a hero ingredient for skin hydration. Quick Links Skin Care Benefits Origin and History Amber Budd Products Complementary Ingredients Suitable Skin Types Shelf Life FAQ Skin Care Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Skin Hydration The primary hyaluronic acid benefit is its outstanding capacity to attract and hold onto vast amounts of moisture. This helps in skin hydration and keeps the skin looking plump and fresh. The ability of Hyaluronic Acid to retain moisture ensures that skin doesn't lose hydration throughout the day, leading to long-lasting softness and glow. (1 ) (2) (3) (4) Boosts Skin Elasticity: Hyaluronic acid helps improve skin elasticity by replenishing moisture levels, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Its hydrating properties give the skin a soft, supple, and youthful appearance. Over time, this effect helps to maintain the skin's natural elasticity, resulting in a firmer, more resilient complexion. (1) (2) (3) Strengthens the Skin Barrier: By preserving moisture, hyaluronic acid reinforces the skin barrier, the outermost layer of skin which prevents damage from environmental aggressors. This reinforcement results in a fortified skin barrier that can better withstand environmental stressors, thus aiding in the overall health and resilience of the skin. (1 ) Enhances Skin Texture: Regular use of products like hyaluronic acid cream or hyaluronic acid serum can significantly improve skin texture. It provides a smoother and softer skin surface due to its intense moisturizing effects. This heightened smoothness lends a rejuvenated appearance to the skin, enhancing its natural radiance. (1) (2) Prevents Skin Aging: With its powerful hydrating properties, hyaluronic acid helps in combating signs of skin aging. It helps to maintain firmness and plumpness, resulting in youthful-looking skin. By retaining hydration, Hyaluronic Acid aids in reducing the visible signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines, promoting a timeless, youthful glow. (1) (2) Soothes Dry Skin: For dry skin, topical hyaluronic acid is particularly beneficial. It can relieve the discomfort of tight, dehydrated skin by providing deep hydration and reducing flakiness. Moreover, its exceptional moisture-holding properties offer long-term relief f rom dryness, promoting healthier, more comfortable skin over time. ( 1) (2) Skin Care Benefits Amber Budd Products Skincare Products with Hyaluronic Acid Suitable Skin Types Suitable Skin Types Hyaluronic acid is generally well-tolerated by all skin types. It's particularly beneficial for dry and mature skin due to its hydrating properties, but it can also be useful for oily and combination skin types as it's lightweight and doesn't clog pores. Origin and History Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, found in our skin, eyes, and connective tissues. Its ability to retain water contributes to maintaining moisture levels in our tissues. The use of hyaluronic acid in skincare products started in the 20th century, and it has become a star ingredient due to its excellent moisturizing properties. Hyaluronic acid was initially discovered within the eyes of cows during the 1930s. The scientist Karl Meyer and his assistant, John Palmer, first identified this substance while studying the vitreous humor of bovine eyes, which is the clear gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina. They noticed the compound had a high viscosity, allowing it to maintain the eye’s shape and protect the delicate structures within. This intriguing discovery led to the compound being named "hyaluronic acid" – "hyaloid" meaning "glass-like" and "uronic" because of its high uronic acid content. Following this discovery, hyaluronic acid has been studied extensively and it’s now recognized for its key role in skin health, wound healing, and overall body wellness. It’s fascinating to consider that our understanding of this beneficial compound all began from studying the eyes of cows! Today, we find it in a variety of forms such as topical hyaluronic acid serums, creams, and even injectables. Its form varies from sodium hyaluronate to hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, with differences mainly in the size of hyaluronic acid molecules and their ability to penetrate the skin. **None of our products that have Hyaluronic Acid comes from Cow Eyes - Just making sure everyone knows!** Origin and History Complementary Ingredients Complementary Ingredients Vitamin C: When it comes to aiding skin hydration, Vitamin C works wonderfully alongside Hyaluronic Acid. Vitamin C's antioxidant properties help to protect the skin from environmental damage and stimulate collagen production. This process aids the Hyaluronic Acid in maintaining skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Retinol: Retinol, another key player in the skincare game, pairs well with Hyaluronic Acid. Retinol accelerates skin cell turnover, revealing fresh, healthy skin underneath. However, it can also cause dryness. That's where Hyaluronic Acid steps in, replenishing lost moisture and buffering potential irritation caused by Retinol. Copper Peptides: Known for their ability to support skin rejuvenation, copper peptides make a great complement to hyaluronic acid. While hyaluronic acid hydrates and plumps the skin, copper peptides promote the production of collagen and elastin, key proteins for skin firmness and elasticity. This powerful combination can help to improve skin texture and minimize the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a more youthful and radiant complexion. Storage and Shelf Life Store hyaluronic acid products, like hyaluronic acid serums and creams, in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight. These products typically have a shelf life of up to 12 months once opened, but always check the packaging Storage & Shelf Life Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is the difference between hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate? A: Sodium hyaluronate is a salt derivative of hyaluronic acid. It has a smaller molecular size, allowing it to penetrate the skin more easily. Both are effective in hydrating the skin, but the choice between the two depends on the specific formulation of the product and your skin's needs. Q: How does hyaluronic acid work? A: Hyaluronic acid works by attracting moisture from the air and from deeper layers of the skin and retaining it on the skin's surface. Its moisture-binding characteristic is exceptionally important in maintaining skin's hydration levels and keeping it plump and youthful-looking. Q: When should I apply hyaluronic acid in my skincare routine? A: Hyaluronic acid can be incorporated into your skincare routine either in the morning or at night. If you're using a hyaluronic acid serum, apply it after cleansing and toning, but before moisturizing. We recommend adding a good toner on top to really see the benefits of Hyaluronic Acid. Q: Can I combine hyaluronic acid with retinol? A: Absolutely! Hyaluronic acid and retinol can be a great combination. Retinol can sometimes cause dryness and irritation, but following it with hyaluronic acid can help to hydrate the skin and reduce these side effects. Q: Does hyaluronic acid help with acne? A: While hyaluronic acid doesn't directly fight acne, it can help maintain skin hydration, which is important for skin health and can indirectly benefit acne-prone skin. Well-hydrated skin tends to be less oily and therefore less prone to acne. If your acne has any redness, it means there is dehydration an dyou may really benefit from Hyaluronic Acid. Q: What's the deal with the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid? A: The molecular weight of hyaluronic acid refers to the size of the hyaluronic acid molecules. Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid has smaller molecules that can penetrate deeper into the skin, providing deep hydration, whereas high molecular weight hyaluronic acid has larger molecules that hydrate the surface layers of the skin. Q: What are the alternate names of hyaluronic acid? A: Hyaluronic Acid is Also known as: Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, HA. Q: Can I include hyaluronic acid injections as part of my skin care routine? A: Yes, injectable hyaluronic acid is a common treatment for reducing wrinkles and adding volume to areas like the lips. It's typically administered by a professional in a clinical setting. However, it's essential to consult with a dermatologist or aesthetician to determine if this procedure is right for your skin type and concerns. Q: Is hyaluronic acid good for oily skin? A: Absolutely! Hyaluronic acid is a great ingredient for all skin types, including oily skin. It's a humectant, which means it draws water into the skin, not oil. Hyaluronic acid can help balance out your skin's moisture levels without causing additional oiliness or breakouts. Q: Are hyaluronic acid derivatives safe, and how do they help keep the skin hydrated? A: Yes, derivatives of hyaluronic acid, like sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, are generally safe for use in skincare. These derivatives have smaller molecules, allowing them to penetrate the skin more deeply and provide hydration at multiple levels of the skin. This results in enhanced skin hydration and a plumper, smoother appearance. FAQ
