BIG APPLE BUSINESS: Balance Water

Manhattan based Balance® is the world’s first non-flavored spring water containing homeopathic Flower Essences. Whom You Know thinks it is wonderful!

By combining Flower Essences with natural spring water, Balance® has created a pristine, wellness beverage that helps with stress and tension. The use of flower essences dates back centuries over many cultures. In the 1930s, they were popularized by Dr. Edward Bach, who introduced the most well-known homeopathic remedy, Rescue Remedy®. Balance uses Australian wildflowers which are particularly interesting and unique in their properties given their diversity, beauty, remote growing locales and the harsh conditions they typically have to endure.

Balance is made in NY. They use beautiful spring water from high in the Catskills above. They use this spring water to dilute the flower essence concentrate that is shiped over from Australia in small quantities. They do not ship water around the world or even around the country- they only ship small amounts of highly concentrated Flower Essences. With a bottling operation in the Catskills, the Midwest and in Sierra Nevada,CA Balance Water minimizes any shipping. The labor, caps, bottles, water and labels are all produced locally. They use a partially recycled bottle, vegetable dye inks for the labels, non-solvent based glue for the labels and are close to implementing a new completely biodegradable bottle. All of the Balance employees take public transport to work. Balance Water takes environmental responsibility very seriously by both minimizing their carbon footprint (they even developed and trademarked a symbol) and by using natural products wherever possible.

Balance has offices on 32nd Street in Manhattan. The leading NY based drugstore chain, Duane Reade, carries Balance as part of their ongoing support for local NY companies. Balance is also ranged in Whole Foods Market and Food Emporium.

Balance® products do not contain any flavors, colours, preservatives, artificial additives, sugar or calories.

All of the organic flowers are hand-picked growing in the wild (wild harvested). They are not farmed and come from some of the most remote and pristine environments on the planet (outback Australia and the remote rainforests of Australia)

‘We encourage people to educate themselves with beverages by always reading the label carefully to avoid hidden sugars, acidity and preservatives. With our product range, we hope people will learn about Flower Essences, look at our web site and drink our wellness beverage. We are confident that they will not only enjoy the taste of the product but also benefit from the additional effects of the Flower Essence over time. We are not inventing something new here; we are just changing the format of a long standing product to make it more convenient for mainstream access” Martin Chalk, Balance Company. Peachy Deegan was so pleased to meet Martin Chalk recently at Catherine Malandrino and is pleased to present him and Balance Water to Whom You Know readers!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
