For context: "NASA just debunked Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest snake oil"
These stickers, which cost $60 for a pack of 10, will allegedly work magic on your body, including reducing inflammation, “boosting cell turnover,” and “smoothing out both physical tension and anxiety.”

So where does their healing power come from? NASA space science, no less.

The aestheticians (yes, beauty care specialists!) who invented the Body Vibes stickers claim their products are made with “the same conductive carbon material NASA uses to line space suits so they can monitor an astronaut’s vitals during wear.” This special technology uses “bio-frequency that resonates with the body's natural energy field.”

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate how wildly creative this is: Aestheticians took some fancy sticker materials, slapped healing claims on them, and then drew on space science to try to back up those claims.

NASA wasn’t having any of it. Gizmodo’s Rae Paoletta reached out to the space agency, asking about the science behind the stickers. NASA told Paoletta that spacesuits “do not have any conductive carbon material lining the spacesuits.” A former chief NASA scientist added, “What a load of BS this is.”

People could just instead take a shower once a day to achieve the same effects.

Sure, but try telling that to our Brit members...
