Also known as anions, negative ions are oxygen atoms that carry an extra electron. They're found abundantly in nature—especially in fresh, clean environments like waterfalls, forests, lightning storms, ocean waves, and sunlight.
These naturally occurring particles offer incredible benefits to your body, mind, and the air you breathe.
✨ What Do Negative Ions Do?
Negative ions attach to positively charged particles in the air—like dust, allergens, bacteria, and pollutants—causing them to become too heavy to stay airborne. They then drop to the ground or attach to nearby surfaces, cleansing the air you breathe and reducing your exposure to harmful toxins.
