Astrea Newton Cap

The Newton cap is inspired by Sir Isaac Newton, who famously formulated his theory of gravity while sitting under a tree. Modern science reveals that beneath tree leaves, we are exposed to particularly high levels of near-infrared (NIR) light, as foliage strongly reflects this spectrum. NIR light can penetrate the skull and interact with brain cells — perhaps the tree itself played a more prominent role in Newton’s discovery than previously thought.

We created the Newton cap to honor great breakthroughs and inspire new ones. Evidence shows that near-infrared light can enhance cognition, creativity, processing speed, and reaction time — benefits that are invaluable both for adults and schoolchildren. Research indicates that children struggling with mathematics may find it easier to solve problems when using red light therapy.

The Newton cap is also highly effective for stimulating hair growth. Studies demonstrate that red and near-infrared light can activate hair follicles and promote regrowth: just 20 minutes of daily use may make a significant difference.

For seamless use, the cap includes a power bank so you can move freely while receiving your light therapy.
