11. LifeWtr
As the name alludes, LifeWtr revitalizes water drinkers through a keen sense of creativity and eclectic design. The brand releases a new “series” of artist-designed bottles at regular intervals across the United States, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates, where it is sold. Highlighting three artists per series, the project provides a type of community and national spotlight that can’t be replicated. Aside from amplifying creativity, LifeWtr is close to balanced with a pH range of 6.4 to 7.4 and is purified through reverse osmosis. It’s also injected with an infusion of electrolytes to yield an exceptionally “clean and crisp” taste. Despite being owned and operated by multinational PepsiCo (per Forbes), this boutique water brand nurtures progressive art and manages to consistently wow consumers without leaning too far into the mainstream.
“Have reordered multiple times for myself and my sons and daughters-in-law. Also for some friends and grandchildren. Artwork is beautiful, bottles fit nicely in car cup holders, and the water is different than any I have ever drunk. Glad I made the plunge,” said one verified Amazon customer.
12. Just Water
On the day he was learning to surf for the first time, 10-year-old Jaden Smith noticed a lone plastic bottle floating next to him in the ocean. He knew that he had to take action, so he developed the inspiration to start a sustainable water company. Enter Just Water — 100% mountain-sourced spring water piped from the Adirondack Mountains in New York. Instead of ordinary plastic, Just Water is wrapped in bold, sky blue, plant-based packaging. Technically you’re not drinking from a bottle but from a much more eco-friendly carton, tracing a 74% reduction in carbon emissions by utilizing plants for every micro and macro piece of packing.
What goes into these sustainable bottles? According to information on the company’s website, the cartons are a mixture of things. 54% of the bottle is made from paper materials, which Just Water says helps cut down the product’s carbon footprint significantly. The paper is wrapped around a thin layer of aluminum and topped with a cap made from sugarcane. All of this is done to protect not only the Earth but the taste of your water as well. However, let’s say plain water isn’t your thing. If you’re seeking something with flavor, you can choose from lemon, mint, blackberry, or cherry-infused water. There’s even a bubbly option! Just Water fans just can’t seem to get enough.
