ABOUT THE COMPANY
ROAR is redefining hydration for a new generation. In a category that has become overly serious and hardcore performance obsessed, ROAR stands for something different: hydration that is expressive, effortless, and rooted in real life. Built for people who move, connect, and live life out loud, ROAR delivers complete hydration with vitamins, antioxidants, and electrolytes - all with just 20 calories and 3g of sugar or less per bottle.
More than a beverage, ROAR is a cultural signal - bright, approachable, and fun. It rejects the intensity and rules of traditional hydration in favor of something more human: joy, spontaneity, and the kind of movement that doesnât need a scoreboard. This positioning has resonated with consumers and retailers alike driving strong momentum across both natural and conventional retail, where ROAR continues to expand rapidly and now ranks as the #2 brand in the natural channel within the enhanced water category.
