    Perfect Hydration Alkaline Water Introduces Premium 16 oz. Aluminum Can

    Alkaline Water Brand Launches Line Extension as First Step in Long-Term Sustainability Plan

    Too much acidity can be harmful to your body – alkaline water can help maintain that perfect natural balance. No matter when you work at home or do a outdoor workout, it’s very important to stay hydrated. Stay safe, be smart, and drink lots of water! Perfect Hydration (pH) – the ultra-purified alkaline water with electrolytes – just launched their premium, enhanced water in a 16 oz. recyclable aluminum can to meet the growing demand for functionality, hydration, and sustainability. The new line extension – available for purchase beginning in December 2020 – featuring aluminum that can be recycled indefinitely and Perfect Hydration’s notable crisp, blue, color-blocked design.

    “We are thoughtfully expanding our product lines and are so excited to launch our first aluminum can,” said Louisa Lawless, Chief Strategy Officer of Stratus Group. “We are not only committed to providing the best quality, functional alkaline water at a competitive price, but we are challenging ourselves to exceed industry standards on our path towards focused innovation and sustainability. Enhanced, still, water in a can is quite new to our category, but because of demand from consumers and retailers alike, we are excited to lead the charge. Agility is critical with advancement in new technologies and sustainable, responsible resourcing.”

    Perfect Hydration’s domestically-sourced cans offer a new category entry point for consumers seeking alkaline water, which now is the fastest growing segment within water, outpacing sparkling water and private label water. Perfect Hydration’s line extension is available in 16-ounce aluminum cans, and display-ready 12-packs and 24-packs. The new 16 oz. cans retail at $1.29-$1.49 each.

    As a part of a multiple-pronged approach to sustainability, Perfect Hydration is currently vetting claims associated with recycled plastics (rPET) and has committed to launching bottles made with 100% rPET in Q1 of 2021. Perfect Hydration is also committed to the continued use of renewable, domestic water sources. Their proprietary nine-stage filtration and alkalizing process enables the brand to transform water from any supply into crisp, refreshing, pH Water. Unlike other brands that mine water sheds and mineral springs, pH doesn’t have to ship water to or from remote locations across the globe. In addition, Perfect Hydration’s bottles are made of BPA-free, 100% recyclable PET-1.

    In Q1 of 2020, pH successfully launched two larger sizes – 1.5-liter and One-Gallon bottles – at Ralph’s, Albertson’s southern divisions, and select CVS stores to name a few. Perfect Hydration is sold in 1-liter and 20-ounce bottles in convenience, mass, drug and grocery stores nationwide and online via Amazon and Instacart.

    Perfect Hydration 9.5+ pH alkaline water is ultra-purified through a 9-stage filtration and alkalizing process, and enhanced with electrolyte minerals for a crisp, pure, taste. For more information, visit http://perfect-hydration.com or follow the brand on Facebook or Instagram.

    The revolutionary Eco-friendly LAUNDRY DETERGENT SHEET that is kind to you and the environment.

    Did you know close to 1 billion plastic laundry detergent jugs are discarded in the United States annually? Only 30% is actually recycled and the remaining 70% ends up in landfills, waterways and clogs the oceans. At this rate, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050.

    If you’re like me, you’re committed to living a more sustainable lifestyle. Thankfully, it seems more companies globally are following suit and offering products that challenge many industry standards. Kind Laundry is one such company. As the name implies, it is an eco-friendly solution to the age-old practice of using plastic detergent bottles that are cumbersome and fill up the landfills (close to 1 billion plastic laundry jugs go to landfills and oceans in the U.S. alone, with less than 7 percent getting properly recycled.) The brand has introduced detergent laundry sheets that are just as effective, if not more so, at cleaning your load. I’ve tried them myself and can attest to their strong cleaning power.

    Kind Laundry’s 100% recyclable packaging will have a more eco-friendly impact on you and the environment. The paper-thin biodegradable laundry sheets help reduce transportation fuel consumption and carbon emissions by 94% compared to today’s leading-brand liquid and powder detergent.

    KIND LAUNDRY DETERGENT SHEETS – FRAGRANCE FREE

    KIND LAUNDRY DETERGENT SHEETS – OCEAN BREEZE

    Kind Laundry Detergent Sheets is a zero-waste and safer laundry alternative to your traditional laundry detergents that come in heavy bulky plastic jugs and contain up to 20+ toxic ingredients.

    These pre-measured scented sheets are made with only 5 simple ingredients but still packs strong cleaning power. Just simply throw in the desired amount of sheets and experience super clean, soft and fresh load of laundry…mess-free, every time. Guaranteed!

    • Non-toxic, biodegradable, and allergen-free.
    • Free of petroleum, parabens, phosphate, phthalates, dyes, artificial color and optical brighteners.
    • Cruelty-free. No animal by-products.
    • Dissolves immediately in all water temperatures
    • Works in front-loading, top-loading, standard and HE washing machines
    • Safe for handwashing your delicates
    • 100% recyclable packaging

    Ingredients:

    • Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (plant-derived cleaning agent)
    • Fatty Alcohol Polyglycol Ether (biodegradable grease remover)
    • Polyvinyl Alcohol (biodegradable polymer)
    • Deionized Water
    • Fragrance

    Reasons to love Kind Laundry Detergent Sheets:

    • Never feel guilty for using plastic jugs or packaging again
    • Peace of mind for you and your family are not exposed to harmful ingredients
    • Make laundry less of a chore with no gooey measuring cups and heavy jugs
    • Free up space (who doesn’t want more space?)
    • Travel confidently (hassle-free customs) and tackle accidents on the go

    DIRECTIONS

    • Simply throw one (1) pre-measured sheet in with your laundry
    • For a boost of cleaning power, add two (2) sheets
    • For extra-large loads, such as bedding, add three (3) sheets
    • For tough stubborn stains, try our Vegan Stain Remover Bar along with the detergent sheets.

    About Kind Laundry:

    Kind Laundry sheets are 100% biodegradable and utilize just four simple naturally derived ingredients. They are super easy to use, ultra-compact, no mess and lightweight with the same powerful cleaning capabilities as a traditional liquid or powdered detergent. Laundry made easier? Yes please!

    Kind Laundry is more than just a company to Angie and Bernard, founders of Kind Laundry. It represents who they are as people. Angie and Bernard believe by eliminating one plastic detergent jug at a time as well as educating ourselves about the products we use, we can help protect, sustain and support the incredible planet we live on and the other animal friends we share it with. This is their dream. Let’s be kind to our laundry. Let’s be kind to our planet.

    This long-lasting, micro-tip pencil allows you to create individual-like hairs for a subtle or bold brow look. Its creamy wax-based formulation glides beautifully and naturally on skin. This waterproof pencil is stress-free to help you through any challenges you face in life. Pair with a light coat of “Eye Am Beautiful” mascara, and a nude hue of the REALHER lip gloss in your shade for a subtle, no make-up look.

    REALHER‘s mission has always been to empower people through their inspiring makeup products, giving back, and volunteering. When the opportunity came to work with the GEANCO Foundation a year ago, RealHer knew they had to develop an innovative way to raise awareness. Through the GEANCO Foundation, the girls in Nigeria hand-crafted a variety of unique artwork. For a contribution as little as $1, you can choose a digital image to print on a tote, shirt, mousepad, or use as a screensaver. Help make a difference by donating and sharing.
