Oasis

One year ago, we launched Oasis after discovering most drinking water is contaminated—and the majority of people didn’t know. Since then we’ve independently tested and rated thousands of bottled waters brands, filters, tap water, and more helping 100,000s people hydrate healthier. Our mission is to create the most trusted independent platform for finding what’s actually healthy and empower you to make informed decisions. Next steps include scaling product testing, expanding into international markets, building our community and supporting other product categories such as supplements, foods and restaurants to start. Thank you to everyone for being part of the movement toward a healthier, more transparent future 🌎💧

Icelandic Glacial Tested Positive for Microplastics 1,377 Microplastic Particles per Liter Detected in Our Independent Testing 1,377 Particles per Liter Means: - 1.4 particles in every milliliter - ~340 particles in a single cup - 502,605 particles per year if you drink a liter a day Glass Does Not Mean Plastic-Free Microplastics enter bottled water through processing equipment, filtration systems, bottle caps, and factory seals — not just the packaging itself. What Icelandic Glacial Did Pass - No PFAS detected - No lead, mercury, or arsenic above limits - No VOCs or industrial solvents - Trace minerals at natural geological levels Find the full microplastic report on Oasis app & the best bottled water alternatives

Testing reveals Mountain Valley glass bottles are full of microplastics However detected at 18 microplastic particles per liter it’s among the lowest of currently tested glass bottles View the full report on Oasis app

100% of glass bottled waters we tested found with microplastics testing. Icelandic Glacial glass bottled the most with 1,377 microplastic particles per liter. Icelandic claims to be naturally filtered through volcanic rock, but around half of the microplastics were polyamide, the same material used in commercial water filtration membranes. Hallstein glass bottles had the second most at 136 particles per liter. Yet they claim they are microplastic-free in their marketing. Aqua Carpatica in glass tested at 73 particles per liter. Mountain Valley Glass had 18 microplastic particles per liter which was lower than most others we tested We are still waiting on the Evian glass bottle result but their plastic bottle showed just 6 particles per liter of microplastics. Which makes sense since plastic bottles shed nanoplastics, not microplastics. Microplastics come from the painted metals caps on glass bottles What you want is a glass bottle with verified low microplastics and ideally low contamination. In this test Mountain Valley had the lowest microplastics for glass bottles Check all the plastic reports for yourself on Oasis app. Note these results and scores can change overtime so its important to check often

Grocery stores paid out by corporations for shelf space Getting food onto grocery shelves is expensive. Costing each brand a “slotting fee” Slotting fees can cost $250-$1000 per item, per store A single regional launch can cost around $25,000 Farmers are forced to sell to corporations at a much lower rate to make it on the shelves Corporations take a large cut from the farmer and sell the product under their brand name You pay the additional cost at the grocery store to fund packaging, transportation, and the corporation’s profits Buying directly from your local farmer saves you money, is healthier, and ensures the farmer is paid for their hard work Find local farmers to purchase from directly on Farmr app

100% of the top waters found with microplastics: - Icelandic: 1377 particles per liter (highest) - Hallstein: 136 particles per liter - Aqua Carpatica: 73 particles per liter - Mountain Valley: 18 particles per liter - Evian: 6 particles per liter (plastic, expected) Find our full plastic reports on Oasis app

Our independent testing of Hallstein for microplastics detected 136 plastic particles - 39 polypropylene - 20 polymide - 4 polyethylene - 37 ptfe - 26 rubber Full microplastic report in the app

Farmers only get $0.11 for every dollar you spend on food The other $0.89 goes to: Processing Transportation Packaging Wholesaling Retailing Selling the food Farmers do the hardest part: - grow the food - take the risk But they’re left with the smallest cut Support your local farmer and shop directly from the Farmr App. Free to download and use

Children living near Driscoll’s strawberry farms have a 38% higher childhood cancer rate than average. But Driscoll’s can’t be sued for any of it. They don’t own a single farm, grow a single berry or apply an ounce of pesticides themselves They are a genetics and marketing company making $3 billion a year, licensing plant patents to over 700 farms and taking a cut. Their president said it himself: “Driscoll’s is not involved in the fruit farming” Researchers identified 13 pesticides linked to childhood cancer when sprayed within 2.5 miles of a home. 98.5% of those leukemia-linked pesticides were applied in Watsonville, California (Driscoll’s main strawberry operation). - Schools sit just yards from the fields - 41,000 lbs of pesticides applied within 1 sq mi of an elementary school - Pesticides linger in the air for up to 72 hours Driscoll’s is currently #1 strawberry in the U.S. Check for pesticide testing on the Oasis app

Children living near Driscoll’s strawberries farms have a 38% higher cancer rate than average. But our research uncovered something worse… Driscoll’s can’t be sued for any health damage they cause from heavy pesticide use. *And that’s by design.* Because Driscoll’s doesn’t actually own a single farm, grow a single berry, or apply an ounce of pesticides themselves, they avoid any liabability when someone gets sick. Which can happen often. UCLA researchers identified 13 pesticides linked to childhood cancer when sprayed within 2.5 miles of a home. In 2019, 98.5% of the total volume of those leukemia-linked pesticides was applied in Watsonville, California: Driscoll’s main strawberry operation Schools in Watsonville sit yards from the fields where they’re sprayed. It seems Driscoll’s calculated this risk and organized itself as a genetics & marketing company, making 3 billion a year, licensing their plant patents to over 700 farms, selling the product under their label, and taking a cut.

The WaterCube by Genesis Systems pulls water straight from air, bypassing pipes, chemicals, and the 324 contaminants found in US tap water. It works like a dehumidifier but runs the condensed water through a 5-stage filtration system with no chemicals required. The US military tested it across 100+ lab tests with zero health risks found. The residential unit produces 120 gallons per day for a family of four, making it a potentially viable solution to water contamination beyond water filters (which you’ll find tested on the Oasis app).

Most people trying to regulate their nervous system are missing the basics. It is all about increasing vagal tone and activating the parasympathetic nervous system through evolutionary cues, while giving your nervous system what it needs to heal. Chewing gum, a warm bath, and using candles at night help shift you out of fight or flight. Wild-caught salmon, bone broth, organ meat, and magnesium give your nervous system the raw materials it needs to thrive. Supplements like taurine and L-theanine can quickly increase GABA and reduce glutamate receptor activity. Find the best nervous system regulators lab tested and ranked on the Oasis app.
