Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: March 30, 2026
How We Make Money
The Thermal Life is an independent, reader-supported publication. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase. This comes at no additional cost to you.
What This Means
When you click an affiliate link on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small percentage of the sale. This revenue helps us continue producing high-quality, research-backed content about thermal wellness.
Our editorial content is never influenced by affiliate partnerships. We recommend products based on quality, value, and suitability for our readers — not because a brand offers higher commissions.
Our Affiliate Partners
We participate in the following affiliate programs:
- Amazon Associates: We earn from qualifying purchases made through Amazon links on this site.
- Brand Partnerships: We have direct affiliate relationships with select premium brands, including Sunlighten, Clearlight, and Plunge.
- Awin: We participate in the Awin affiliate network for European and specialty brands.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Producing detailed, evidence-based content takes time and resources. Affiliate revenue allows us to keep most of our content free while maintaining editorial independence. We don't accept sponsored content or paid reviews — affiliate links are the only way we monetize product recommendations.
Our Editorial Integrity
We will never recommend a product solely because it offers higher commissions. If a product isn't good, we won't recommend it — regardless of affiliate status. If a better option exists outside our affiliate partnerships, we'll tell you about it.
Many products we mention have no affiliate relationship at all. We include them because they're genuinely good options worth knowing about.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Most links to product pages on retailer sites (Amazon, manufacturer websites, etc.) are affiliate links. Links to educational content within our site are not.
You can always choose to navigate directly to a brand's website without using our link if you prefer not to use an affiliate link. The choice is yours.
