Before SThorn had a recipe, it had a rule: every ingredient in the can has to be something we could explain to someone we loved, without looking away.
Sea Buckthorn and Amla weren’t discoveries. They’re two of the most vitamin-C-dense fruits in the world, and we knew that going in.
What we refused to do was buy them the way most of this category does, through a supplier and a certificate. Our Sea Buckthorn grows wild in Ladakh, where it survives -40°C winters, and is processed at our own facility there. Our Amla and our Lemon are both grown on our own farms in Rajasthan.
Three of our six ingredients come from land we work ourselves, because knowing an ingredient is good on paper isn’t the same as being able to stand behind exactly where it came from.
Everything else in SThorn had to earn its place the same way. Himalayan Pink Salt, hand-mined from the Sindh Himalayas in its purest form, for a rounder mineral finish. A small amount of Raw Sugar (Khandsari), grown organically in Uttarakhand by farmers we work with directly, from the sugarcane in the field through to the processing itself, start to finish, together. And Carbonated Water to carry it all.
Six Ingredients.
What we left out, caffeine, taurine, artificial colour and flavour, preservatives, took longer to decide than what we kept.
We won't win your trust with claims. We'd rather earn it with what's in the can, printed clearly, checkable against the label in your hand.
No adjectives standing in for facts. Just five real ingredients, carbonated, in a can you can turn over and actually understand. You don't have to take our word for any of it. That's rather the point.
So the next time you're standing in that same aisle, cold can in hand, we hope SThorn is the one that doesn't leave you with that feeling.
