General FAQ's
Q: WHY SHOULD I USE GLASS BOTTLES?
We believe glass is the wiser choice for storing and drinking healthy beverages. Here’s why:
- Glass is pure and toxin free. Our bottles are made without toxins, lead or BPAs, unlike plastic, where harmful contaminants can seep into the contents.
- Glass never stains or absorbs odors, unlike plastics that easily stain and carry food odors that can be hard to remove.
- Glass is eco-friendly. Our extra-thick bottles are recyclable, reusable & durable which are better for the environment. You can do your part by reducing plastic consumption when using glass bottles.
- Glass dishwasher safe and easy to clean - it’s clear so you can see through it, making sure you have fully cleansed the bottle. It can handle high temperatures from the dishwasher and sterilization.
Q: WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING YOUR SILICONE PRODUCTS?
Our silicone products are reusable and eco-friendly. Our high quality silicone sleeves, lids and straws are made from 100% non-toxic, medical grade silicone, making it a good choice for eco-friendly toxin free living. It also reduces plastic landfill waste by using them instead of plastics. All of our silicone products are dishwasher-safe, and the silicone sleeve can be washed while on the bottle, which means easy cleaning for you.
Q: HOW DO YOU PUT ON THE SILICONE SLEEVE?
Go to this page to see a video on how to easily slide the sleeve on the bottle:

Q: WHAT IS THE BOTTLE LINER MADE OUT OF, AND WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS?
The liners are made of PE foam/paper or Silicone, based on your choice. These liners help to “seal” the bottle by molding to the glass so there is no leakage. PE foam/paper is the more economical option. To ensure no leakage, be sure that the bottles are tightly capped - this is essential.
Q: ARE THE BOTTLES PRE-STERILIZED AND WASHED?
The bottles are not sterilized or washed prior to delivery. We do recommend washing them prior to use, if possible. They conform to CFR 21 certifications, which meets FDA standards - which means they don’t have to be - it’s up to you. These bottles are dishwasher safe.
Q: CAN HOT LIQUIDS SUCH AS TEA AND COFFEE BE MADE IN THE BOTTLES?
Original Series Bottles: These bottles can take warm liquids but are not meant for hot liquids. If you put boiling water into the glass it could cause thermal shock and breakage. Use these bottles only for cold or luke-warm liquids.
Skinny Series Bottles: These bottles are made out of borosilicate glass which can handle hot and cold liquids easily. You can use them with both hot and cold liquids.
Q: CAN YOU FREEZE IN THESE BOTTLES?
Original Series Bottles: You can freeze in these bottles as long as you leave a 2 inch space at the top to allow for expansion. When thawing, place it in the refrigerator or counter - do not let it sit in hot liquids or it will break. Know that it is glass and if it incurs a thermal shock (a rapid rise or fall in temperature) it could cause expansion of the liquid and pressure in the bottle, and in turn, cause it to shatter.
Skinny Series Bottles: While many people do freeze in these bottles, it is not recommended. Pressure can build up inside the bottles and cause expansion of gases which could lead to breakage. If you do freeze in them, be sure to allow a 2 inch gap at the top of the bottle to allow for expansion, and do not cap it.
Q: WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO STORE JUICES AND OTHER BEVERAGES IN THESE BOTTLES?
Original Series Bottles: Fill these bottles to the top, cap them and store in the refrigerator.
Skinny Series Bottles: When storing any other beverage aside from water, we recommend that you only fill the bottle to 80% to avoid a high pressure build up inside the bottle.
