Unrefined sea salt brand Celtic Sea Salt has marked its 50th anniversary by expanding into the functional beverage sector with the commercial launch of Hydrate by Celtic Sea Salt.
The new product line translates the enterprise's unrefined sea salt into convenient, performance-focused electrolyte stick packs engineered for daily active consumption and athletic recovery.
The commercial execution addresses growing consumer interest in clean-label, sugar-free hydration solutions that utilise authentic mineral salts rather than synthetic additives or artificial sweeteners.
Functional Formulation

Each single-serve stick pack is formulated with a multi-mineral matrix designed to provide functional hydration without added sugars, artificial colours, or synthetic dyes.
Key ingredient specifications and functional metrics include:
Sodium Content:Ā Delivers 1,000mg of sodium sourced from authentic Celtic Sea Salt, providing over 70 naturally occurring trace minerals.
