Caliwater

Caliwater is a functional beverage company co-founded by actress Vanessa Hudgens and actor/entrepreneur Oliver Trevena. The company was born from a shared passion for health, wellness, and eco-conscious living. Inspired by the resilient and beneficial properties of the prickly pear cactus, Caliwater offers a range of cactus water-based drinks designed to provide superior hydration and additional health benefits. The brand is defined by its drive to create innovative, fresh, and functional beverages that connect consumers to the Earth and to one another. Sourced from the Sonoran Desert, the prickly pear cactus fruit at the heart of Caliwater's products is rich in antioxidants, five naturally occurring electrolytes, vitamins, and minerals. This 'super fruit' allows the company to offer a beverage with significant health advantages, including skin-fortifying properties and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Launched in the spring of 2021, Caliwater has positioned itself as a healthier, more functional alternative to other plant-based beverages like coconut water, boasting half the sugar and calories. The product line, which includes flavors like Wild Prickly Pear, Ginger & Lime, Watermelon, and Pineapple, is organic, vegan, kosher, and non-GMO, making it accessible to a wide range of consumers. Beyond its product offerings, Caliwater is committed to social and environmental responsibility. The company has partnered with organizations like No Kid Hungry, donating a portion of its sales to help end childhood hunger in the United States. It has also partnered with American Forests to support reforestation and combat climate change, underscoring its commitment to sustainability. Caliwater's mission extends beyond simple hydration; it aims to educate consumers on the benefits of cactus, promote healthy and eco-friendly lifestyles, and make a positive impact on the world.
