FAQS
Q: Wait. So the cave water used in your products comes from a spring? Why not just get it directly from the cave?
A: I'm glad you asked. A common phrase in the caving community is: "Take Nothing but Pictures. Leave Nothing but Footprints. Kill Nothing but Time." Caves themselves are not only incredibly delicate features, they are also host to a variety of rare and vulnerable ecosystems. Upsetting just one factor that contributes to a cave ecosystem is often detrimental to hundreds, even thousands of organisms! Many of which are too small to even see but have an integral role nonetheless. Water derived from a karst spring is still cave water. It is just cave water obtained in a sustainable, non-invasive manner. Click here to learn more about cave conservation.
