Be Water, a premium American artesian bottled spring water produced by Greene Concepts Inc., was featured in this year's 'Everyone Wins' Nominee Gift Bags presented to select OSCAR® nominees during Hollywood's biggest week. The gift bags, independently produced by Distinctive Assets, were presented to nominees including Timothée Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan, Jessie Buckley, Kate Hudson, Rose Byrne, Jacob Elordi, Elle Fanning, Teyana Taylor, Delroy Lindo, and Josh Safdie. It is important to note that the 'Everyone Wins' Nominee Gift Bags are not affiliated with the OSCARS® or the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.
The inclusion highlights Be Water's emphasis on natural origin and responsible source management, distinguishing it from many bottled waters that may rely on municipal sources or extensive post-processing. The water is sourced from springs and aquifer formations beneath North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains, where it rises naturally through fractures in billion-year-old bedrock. As rainwater travels slowly through layers of ancient crystalline rock, it is naturally filtered and absorbs trace minerals including calcium, magnesium, and silica, creating a smooth taste and naturally balanced mineral profile.
'Many bottled waters are engineered after collection,' said Lenny Greene, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Greene Concepts Inc. 'Be Water is created underground through natural filtration and geological processes. Our responsibility is stewardship - withdrawing only what the aquifer naturally replaces so the source remains sustainable for generations.' The aquifer lies within a fractured crystalline bedrock system formed during the Grenville Orogeny more than one billion years ago, with the rock acting as a natural filtration system that traps particles and balances water chemistry through subtle ion exchange processes.
Once collected, the water undergoes gentle filtration and ozone treatment to ensure purity while preserving its natural mineral composition, with nothing added and nothing stripped away. Withdrawal rates are carefully managed to maintain the natural pressure and long-term health of the aquifer system. Be Water is bottled at the company's owned and operated 60,000-square-foot facility in Marion, North Carolina, using premium BPA-free packaging with a durable 22-gram bottle designed for everyday hydration at accessible pricing.
In addition to being featured in the nominee gift bags, Be Water is available through select national retailers including select Walmart locations, Walmart.com, and Camping World, as well as on Amazon, with continued national expansion underway across additional retail and e-commerce channels. The brand positions itself between luxury imported waters and commodity bottled tap water, emphasizing American craftsmanship, transparency, and responsible aquifer stewardship as key differentiators in the competitive bottled water market.
