Healsi Water

What Healsi Water does

Healsi Water is a Portugal-based premium mineral water brand operating as a direct-to-consumer e-commerce business. Its product is sourced from a 285-meter-deep Portuguese aquifer and is differentiated by a rare composition — 61 mg/L silica concentration, neutral pH 7, and 183 mg/L total mineralization — that the company positions around bone, skin, hair, and cardiovascular health benefits. Water is packaged in distinctive diamond-shaped glass and PET bottles still and sparkling variants, in color lines (Crystal, Turquoise, Fuchsia), and the only Portuguese brand also offered in Tetra Pak carton packaging made from 67% renewable materials. The brand is owned by Aguarela do Mundo – Águas de Nascente S.A., a Portuguese public limited company within the S. Martinho Group, and operates with a small team of 6 employees.

Healsi monetizes through three revenue streams: one-time DTC e-commerce purchases (€11.40–€16.95 per box), subscription plans (Planos) with weekly, biweekly, or monthly cadences starting at €37.50 per delivery, and HealsiByMe bottle personalization for events and gifting (special editions priced at €25/unit). Pricing is supported by tiered volume discounts of 15–30% and the company explicitly does not accept resellers, concentrating demand through its own www.healsi.eu storefront, with localized storefronts for Portugal, Spain, and the UAE. Distribution outside Iberia is handled through partners such as Watershop in Paris and via trade show presence at Gulfood, SIAL, FHA Singapore, and Singapore Coffee Festival.

Customer segments are weighted toward premium individual consumers and occasion buyers (weddings, corporate events, Mother's Day), with secondary presence in premium hospitality (e.g., Al-Lusitano at Expo 2020 Dubai) and the pharmaceutical/healthcare sector (Expofarma). Marketing is anchored in lifestyle and fashion partnerships with ModaLisboa, L'Oréal, Swarovski, Holmes Place, and Chef Chakall, and the brand carries a strong awards stack including the 2019 IF Design Award, 2019 Monde Selection Grand Gold, and 2018 FineWaters, Asia Food Innovation, and AVPA distinctions. Geographic reach today is Portugal, Spain, UAE, France, and limited Asian markets, with active internationalisation stated as a strategic priority.
