What You Should Know

Essentia Water, sold in a six-pack of 1-liter BPA-free plastic bottles, sits in the bottled water aisle and refrigerated hydration section of American grocery stores, often shelved near sports drinks, enhanced waters and other premium bottled waters. Shoppers commonly grab it for on-the-go hydration—gym bags, corporate desks, road trips and storm-prep kits where stackable multi-packs are convenient. The brand positions itself in the wellness and fitness space: a premium, lifestyle-oriented product marketed to active adults and millennial consumers who equate alkalinity, purity and performance with self-care. Label copy leans on health-oriented halos—'Supercharged Ionized Alkaline Water', '99.9% pure' and 'pH 9.5 or higher'—but there is no organic certification and no child-targeted branding; packaging emphasizes recyclability and BPA-free materials. Processing context: the company describes microfiltration, reverse osmosis and an ionization step, plus trace added electrolytes (sodium bicarbonate, dipotassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate, calcium chloride) for taste—industrially filtered and adjusted water rather than a raw natural spring. Sensory experience is subtle: a very clean, smooth mouthfeel with a faint mineral or saline finish from electrolytes and a neutral aroma; the ritual is practical and habitual—uncap after a run, sip between meetings, stash a bottle in the car for long drives. The sturdy case format reinforces convenience and preparedness, while the premium language and alkaline claim give it a wellness-luxury aura within everyday American grocery culture.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

The product is industrially processed (microfiltration, reverse osmosis, ionization) with added mineral electrolytes and packaged in plastic, but its ingredient list is limited to water plus simple mineral additives rather than the complex formulations typical of ultra-processed foods.
