Opal Cool
Opal’s cool therapy products are designed by women, for women, to provide cool therapy and soothing relief for every age and stage of life.
For breastfeeding moms through menopause, post-surgical pain relief, and to treat symptoms of MS and heat stress. Opal is symbolic of health, healing and resilience.
Opal’s cool therapy products are made with a plant-based, cooling phase change material. Opal’s Cool Therapy line (Cool Wrap, Cool One, Gal Pals / Chill and Eye Mask) reactivates in the refrigerator and cools to a soothing 58°. Unlike ice or gel products, Opal’s cooling technology is safe to wear directly on the skin (no risk of ice burn or frost bite). Opal’s Cool Comfort line (Gal Pals / Go and Cool Pad) refreshes to cool state in room temperature, without refrigeration.
Opal? Oh Yes!
Opal’s founding product, the clinically tested Opal Cool Wrap, feels like a cool embrace as it builds resiliency in brown adipose tissues to calm hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause. Women who are battling breast cancer often also are burdened by chemo or surgically induced symptoms of menopause. For breast cancer survivors, Hormone Replacement Therapy, can pose additional health risks. The Opal Cool Wrap provides safe, natural, drug-free relief for symptoms of menopause and has been clinically shown to reduce the number and severity of hot flashes in most women.
The Opal Cool wrap has also been clinically shown to deliver soothing relief for women living with MS and is an approved cool therapy product listed on the National MS Society website.
The Origins of the Opal Brand
I launched this company at the beginning of 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic. True to our name, Opal is shining, thriving and making the coolest products on the planet. Our Opal Cool therapy products are FDA registered and made in America at a woman-owned manufacturing plant in Red Wing, Minnesota.
For women’s health, Opal has special meaning:
Opal for Moms: Opalus, the Roman word for precious stone, is a symbol of love and hope. Ops is the Roman Goddess of Fertility.
Opal for Menopause: A brilliant stone with flashes of fire, ancient Arabs believed opals fell from the heavens in flashes of lightning. For menopausal women, the Opal Cool Wrap has been clinically shown to reduce hot flashes by up to 70%. Opal is also believed to give the wearer strength during times of transition. Hot ladies with hot flashes – Opal’s got your back (and front).
Opal for Breast Cancer Survivors: Opal also symbolizes hope and resiliency. Women battling breast cancer often get a double whammy with chemo-induced menopause. The Opal Cool Wrap is a safe, drug-free alternative to hormone replacement therapy for breast cancer survivors and all women.
Opal for MS: In the Greek culture, Opal is symbolic of health and healing. For women with MS, the Opal Cool Wrap helps treat heat stress and symptoms of MS by cooling the core and lowering body temperature. Research shows that cooling therapy helps improve exercise and functional capability and can prevent MS symptoms from worsening. With Opal, you can treat symptoms of MS, naturally and drug-free.
Opal for All: Opal amplifies positivity and brings luck and happiness.
How is this product different?
Opal's wearable therapies are made with a plant-based phase change material (PCM) that is safe and comfortable to wear directly on the skin. These latex-free products are reusable and refresh to a therapeutic 58° in the refrigerator or a soothing 80° at room temperature, which feels comfortably cool against your 99° hot body.
