Eau Exquise: Sustainable Flavoring for Everyday Hydration

Most people struggle to meet their daily water intake. Eau Exquise, a French water flavoring company, offers a convenient and sustainable solution to make water more enjoyable and encourage healthy hydration.

Anne-Gaël Sadoun. Trained as a psychologist, the entrepreneur saw her mom struggle with drinking water, especially at the end of her life, because she didn’t find it enjoyable. This led her to start Eau Exquise in 2021, aiming to give water a new taste.

Flavorful and Eco-Friendly

Unlike sugary drinks or single-use flavored water bottles, Eau Exquise empowers you to personalize tap water with just a few drops. Their all-natural flavors, like yuzu & ginger or strawberry & raspberry, come in convenient 10ml and 27ml vials, flavoring up to 25 liters of water. This significantly reduces plastic waste compared to disposable options, making it a more sustainable solution. Plus, the company offers a range of organic flavors with surprising versatility, allowing you to enhance not just water but also hot drinks, sparkling water, and even yogurt.

Flavored water on-the-go

Ditch the sugary drinks and artificial sweeteners! Eau Exquise’s portable vials are perfect for refillable water bottles, aligning with the growing trend of eco-conscious consumers.

Focus on Health and Transparency

Unlike some competitors that add vitamins or artificial ingredients, Eau Exquise prioritizes natural flavors. Their sugar-free, sweetener-free, and artificial color-free drops are ideal for those seeking healthy hydration options, including diabetics. Health-conscious women above 50 who prioritize well-being and reducing sugar intake are a perfect target audience for Eau Exquise.

Growth and International Expansion

After a couple of years in the works, with a grant from Bpifrance and €200k in funding, the company launched in the summer of 2023 and now hopes to grow in France and beyond. 

Its e-commerce site already supports orders from Belgium and Switzerland, and the company plans to use its participation in SIAL Startup Village to find partners for its international expansion, which is in line with its main goal for this year: To win new markets.
