Are your plastic bottles safe?

Yes! Our plastic bottles are safe to use and are made of #1 plastic known as PETE or PET and are phthalate-free and BPA-free.

Is the Oxygen Boost Canister available for purchase?

Unfortunately, no. We transitioned away from the canister because we are trying to limit our environmental footprint. The pouches use a lot less plastic and we can ship a lot more of them on a pallet than we could with the canisters, and therefore limit fuel usage in shipping. The pouches come with a scoop and the mouth of the pouch opens nicely so it's easy to scoop from. 

Is your packaging recyclable?

The plastic bottles that we use are PET1 and are 100% recyclable, but they are also meant to be reused for a long time. Which helps to reduce single use plastic significantly. 1 bottle of concentrate makes 13 bottles of mixed product. We do offer glass refillable bottles as well!

The pouches are not recyclable. We tried compostable and recycled pouches, but found that they were not sturdy enough to ship. The good news is that the pouches use 2/3 less plastic than a plastic bottle. Also, the pouches use much less space than plastic bottles so we can fit a lot more per pallet on the front end to ship them to our manufacturer. This significantly limits fuel usage in shipping.
