DTCetc’s Take

About Buoy

Buoy: Clean & Pure mission is to provide clean and healthy hydration options. Buoy offers purposefully unsweetened and unflavored drinks that are free from ingredients linked to inflammation and disease, such as sugar, stevia, dextrose, natural flavors, and artificial dyes and oils. The brand is committed to sustainability and uses 100% post-consumer recycled materials for their bottles, and reduced materials used per serving by up to 125 times that of other hydration products. Buoy also offers a Chronic Illness Support Program, providing a discount to those who need hydration without the sugar, sweeteners, and artificial ingredients to help offset healthcare costs. For every bottle sold, Buoy donates one to a nonprofit supporting chronic illnesses. Buoy's clean and bioavailable ingredients make it a convenient, fast-absorbing form factor for a variety of beverages, including iced coffee, matcha lattes, protein shakes, sparkling tonics, and even alcohol.
