hint® inc., the San Francisco-based company founded by entrepreneur Kara Goldin in 2005, is a healthy lifestyle brand known for its delicious unsweetened flavored water. In 2017 hint launched a sunscreen spray that's oxybenzone and paraben free and scented with hint fruit essences, finally making sunscreen application an enjoyable experience. After having her third child, Kara was overweight, had adult acne and was generally low energy. She realized the diet soda she was drinking daily was the culprit, and switched to water. She saw results quickly but hated the taste of plain water, so she started slicing up fruit and putting it in her water, which was just the hint of flavor she needed to make drinking water enjoyable. She knew there were lots of other consumers who were addicted to sugary drinks but plain water was too boring, and when she couldn't find a product on the shelves like the one she created in her kitchen, she decided to produce it herself. hint helps people fall in love with water by using real fruit essences to make it taste great without any calories, sweetener or additives. Today it is available in the original hint still water, hint fizz® (sparkling) and hint kick® (lightly caffeinated), and comes in many delicious flavors including Blackberry, Watermelon, Crisp Apple, Pineapple, Cherry and more. hint water can be found in stores all over the United States, or purchased online at www.drinkhint.com. hint is the fastest growing flavored water in the United States, and the largest beverage on campuses in Silicon Valley. The brand has received numerous accolades, including Best Flavored Water (from Health, Men's Health, and SELF magazines). With the launch of sunscreen, hint has expanded beyond beverage into a trusted band known for solving consumer problems around health. hint has a strong team working across the country, and is headquartered in San Francisco.
