Our Technology
Opal Cool products are made with plant-based cooling Phase Change Material (PCM) that is specially formulated to provide cooling relief at just the right temperature.
PCM is comfortably cool and much nicer than Ice! Unlike ice packs or gel-based coolers that start uncomfortably cold and then warm up quickly, Opal Cool’s PCM products maintain a consistent, comfortable cooling temperature. Even better - you can wear these directly on your skin.
What’s the magic? When Opal Cool’s PCM comes in direct contact with your skin, the cooling pods gradually pull heat away from your hot bod and begin to slowly melt, changing from a solid to liquid. When the pods are completely clear, it’s time to remove and recool. Great news: you can recool and reuse these over and over again!
Worry-free cooling. You can recharge these in the fridge or freezer. When you place it on your skin the PCM quickly self-regulates to its skin-safe temp.
Safe, long-lasting, and comfortable cooling. NO RISK OF ICE BURN OR FROST BITE – EVER!

Draws Heat Away to Relieve Pain
SUMMARY: Patients who participated in a clinical study for menopause relief reported that the Cool Wrap is easy to use, comfortable to wear and provides immediate and lasting relief for their menopausal symptoms.
I love recommending non-invasive, non-pharmacological options to my patients including cold therapy for hot flashes. I have clinically tested cool therapy wraps and found them to be one of the most effective forms of natural relief for menopausal symptoms.

How Opal Cool Wrap Works
Why is Cold Therapy Beneficial for Hot Flashes?
A Natural Cool
It can be worn directly on the skin, or over light clothing, and maintains a comfortable temperature of 58º F (15º C) for up to an hour. Adjustable straps conform comfortably to every woman’s body type.
Why Cold Therapy is Beneficial for Hot Flashes
As women age and become perimenopausal, fluctuating, and ultimately decreased estrogen levels have a significant effect on the normal regulation of brown adipose tissue activity, contributing to core body temperature fluctuations, including hot flashes.
Cold therapy in areas associated with brown adipose tissue has been shown to produce a calming effect on hot flashes, while also providing comfort and soothing relief.
