Consciously craft brewed Sparkling Tea. (a fancy way of saying, we brew everything by hand in small batches) Our sparkling teas are craft-brewed using whole-leaf tea and hop clusters resulting in a delicately sweet and balanced product. Our brewing method allows us to achieve optimal flavor without any additives or concentrates. We are deeply committed to carefully sourcing our ingredients and using regenerative botanicals from farms who practice regenerative agriculture. This means sequestering more carbon from the air which increases soil fertility, living up to our brand ethos, "For a better earth and a better you.“ Hoptonic is the first RTD Beverage to use *Regenerative Organic Certified (ROCTM) ingredients to support regenerative agriculture

Why this minimalist approach to skincare? • Fewer ingredients = less chance for irritation, making the products perfect for sensitive skin. • Fewer ingredients = higher potency.

Basics ingredients are sourced from organic, fair trade, or family farms. • Fewer ingredients = healthier skincare. Over 10,000 industrial chemicals are used as cosmetic ingredients, and many popular products list 30–60 ingredients in their formulations. Not only are S.W. Basics products free of harmful synthetic chemicals, but their simplicity offers confused, bombarded skin a chance to recover. The line is completely fragrance free; designed for all skin types regardless of gender, age, or ethnicity; and is packaged in beautiful, neo-apothecary glass bottles.
