Purity Lab
Independent research on Hunza region waters confirms bicarbonate-type alkalinity and mineral profiles shaped by geology — not chemistry labs.
Analysis
Water passing through carbonate and bicarbonate-rich rock in the Gilgit-Hunza region develops a distinctive mineral signature. Below is the natural profile associated with premium Hunza spring sources.
Derived from limestone dissolution. Supports skeletal health and neuromuscular function. Concentration varies by capture elevation.
Critical electrolyte for 300+ enzymatic reactions. Abundant in Hunza river and spring samples per regional water quality studies.
Defines the water as bicarbonate-type — the same classification noted in comprehensive studies of Gilgit and Hunza river systems. Key to natural alkalinity.
Present in colloidal form from quartz-rich glacial silt. Traditionally linked to skin and connective tissue wellness in mountain communities.
Regulates fluid balance and cardiovascular rhythm. Naturally low sodium relative to potassium — favourable for daily hydration.
Slightly alkaline — not artificially adjusted. Total alkalinity in regional surface waters reflects carbonate geology of the Karakoram.
Research notes
Comprehensive water quality assessments of the Gilgit and Hunza river systems found physico-chemical parameters largely within WHO drinking water guidelines, with elevated total alkalinity characteristic of bicarbonate-type mountain waters.
High alkalinity arises because Karakoram rock contains substantial carbonate and bicarbonate minerals. As melt water percolates through these formations, it dissolves minerals — creating the profile Hunza Oxidane preserves at bottling.
Unlike reverse-osmosis purified water stripped of minerals then artificially re-mineralised, Oxidane retains the geological fingerprint of its source.

Process
Water captured directly from approved spring points in upper Hunza — not blended with municipal or river sources.
We do not add minerals, adjust pH chemically, or use flavouring agents. What you taste is what the mountain provides.
Food-grade packaging, sealed for freshness. Each batch traceable to production date and source location.
Regular quality checks ensure consistency across seasons while respecting natural variation in glacial melt composition.
