Clean Water, Self-Care, and LA Wildfires

February 11, 2025

Self-Care and Hydration

In times of crisis and high stress, like the recent wildfires and evacuations in Los Angeles, self-care often takes a backseat. It's easy to overlook the importance of hydration, so we want to remind you to nourish and hydrate your body.

Introducing Hydro Gummy: a Supplemental Source of Water

Hydro Gummy is water you can eat - a supplemental source of hydration, designed with your well-being in mind. It’s a 2-in-1 packed with water and is a better for you alternative to candy. Made with 90% water and real fruit (as the second ingredient!), Hydro Gummy also contains Vitamin C and has no added sugar.

The Importance of Clean Water

We use water that has been purified through a reverse osmosis (RO) filtering system. Reverse osmosis systems can improve water quality and potentially remove water contaminants such as lead, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), PFAS, arsenic, bacteria, and viruses (https://www.epa.gov/watersense/point-use-reverse-osmosis-systems).

Supporting Our LA Community

As a small, LA based startup founded by a born and raised Angeleno, we want to play a small part in being a source of support, especially during these challenging times. We hope Hydro Gummy can bring a little joy, nourishment, and purified water to your day, especially when it may be difficult to access clean water. We’re donating to non-profit organizations and firefighters. If you have suggestions of organizations, whose communities may benefit from Hydro Gummy, please feel free to reach out.

Water Contamination in LA

The wildfires have raised concerns about water contamination in Los Angeles. Several water districts have issued "Do Not Use" or "Do Not Drink" advisories due to potential contamination from fire-related debris and chemicals.

Stay Informed and Stay Safe

It's crucial to stay informed about the water situation in your area. Check Water For LA or your local water district's website for updates and advisories.

Amidst the chaos and devastation, it's been inspiring to witness the incredible outpouring of support and generosity within and beyond our community. This unity reminds us of the strength and resilience that lies at the heart of Los Angeles.
