Loonen Sets a New Standard for Bottled Water — Pure by Design, Transparent by Default

December 15, 2025

All the minerals. None of the chemicals.

The Drop

Loonen is rethinking bottled water from the ground up — starting with a simple but overdue question: what’s actually in the water we drink every day?

The result is spring-sourced, glass-bottled water that’s rigorously filtered, mineral-balanced, and tested at every step. No microplastics. No PFAS. No “legal limits” hiding behind outdated standards.

Just water — done the hard way.

Why It Exists

For years, bottled water has been marketed as pure by default. But science says otherwise.

  • Studies have found up to 240,000 detectable microplastic particles per liter of bottled water
  • Roughly 45% of drinking water contains PFAS (aka forever chemicals)
  • 55% contains lead at measurable levels

Plastic bottles and loose regulations have created a trust gap — and Loonen is stepping directly into it.

Founded by Clara Sieg, Loonen was born during pregnancy, when ingredient awareness shifted from preference to priority. Thoughtful alternatives existed for food, skincare, and cleaning — but water remained opaque. Loonen became the answer.

What Makes Loonen Different

Loonen doesn’t just talk purity — it documents it.

  • Spring sourced
  • Purified to remove microplastics, PFAS, and contaminants
  • Balanced mineral profile for taste and hydration
  • Exclusively glass bottled — no plastic, ever
  • Third-party tested at every stage
  • QR-code transparency on every bottle showing full test results

If it’s not clean enough to publish, it’s not clean enough to drink.

The Philosophy

The brand takes inspiration from the loon — a wild waterbird so sensitive to water quality it will abandon a lake forever if contamination rises.

Monogamous. Protective. Discerning. Not “crazy as a loon” — wise as one.

Loonen is water built for people who care about what they put in their bodies — and what they leave behind for the next generation.

The Playbook Take

Hydration is foundational — yet it’s one of the most overlooked inputs in performance and longevity.

Loonen isn’t just a better bottle of water. It’s a response to plastic fatigue, chemical overload, and consumer demand for radical transparency. As wellness shifts from optimization to elimination — removing what doesn’t belong — water is the logical place to start.

Pure water shouldn’t be a premium feature.
Loonen is making it the baseline.
