Innovate Utah: NEW IDEAS, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FROM UTAH COMPANIES

Mobile device power accessory provider Mophie, a portfolio company of Salt Lake City-based holding company Zagg, has introduced two car vent mount accessories made for the iPhone. The new products are the MagSafe-compatible magnetic vent mount and the wireless charging vent mount with MagSafe.

The magnetic vent mount (non-charging) holds an iPhone securely and provides access to a Lightning port. The magnetic vent mount rotates and tilts to adjust viewing angle and an optional extension arm holds an iPhone above or below the vent.

The wireless charging vent mount provides a{mprestriction ids="1,3"} secure hold and alignment for an iPhone in a chosen line of vision without obstructing the view of the road or your vehicle’s control center. The optional offset extension arm also holds iPhone above or below the vent. It provides up to 15 watts of charging power with the included USB-C 20-watt car charger.

Both vent mounts attach to the air conditioning register with a hook which has 8mm to 30mm of adjustability, allowing for installation on most car models. Adhesive clips are provided for cable management.

“The magnetic and wireless charging vent mounts from Mophie are each designed to enhance the driving experience,” said Brad Bell, senior vice president of global marketing at Zagg. “No matter the use case, Mophie helps connected drivers keep their iPhone secure and in line-of-sight.”

ASEA Global, a Pleasant Grove beauty products company that specializes in redox cellular health technology, has introduced its ASEA Redox Clay Mask. Composed of bentonite clay, the mask contains active redox signaling molecules that contribute to surface skin cell health by supporting the communication to replace, renew or create new cells, the company said. “By bringing the age-old power of the earth and synchronizing it with innovative science-led technology, ASEA has created the world’s first cell-signaling mask for a complexion that looks visibly renewed and refined,” ASEA says on its website. Bentonite clay has a negative charge due to its unique composition of minerals and draws out positively charged impurities on the skin, such as bacteria, excess oils and makeup residue, preparing it to absorb the redox signaling molecules found in the mask.
