The idea for Splitflask came from a NICU nurse's simple daily challenge they faced. They could only take one drink container to work. The rule often forced her to choose between a morning coffee and staying hydrated with water throughout her shift. Her husband noticed the trail of half-finished Starbucks lattes she would leave in the car, and he realized the waste wasn’t just about the coffee—it was about having to choose between two essentials because of workplace rules.

Seeing her frustration, they envisioned a solution: a flask that could hold both hot and cold drinks at the same time. With this, they wouldn’t have to sacrifice coffee for water or the other way around. That’s how Splitflask was born—a simple yet innovative answer to a problem many of us face, designed to make life just a little bit easier.

Why Splitflask? 

Science-Backed Hydration with Real Life Benefits.

Wellness in Every Sip

Splitflask brings the benefits of heat and cold therapy to your everyday routine:

Hot side: Soothes tension, relaxes muscles, preps your body for activity.

Cold side: Reduces inflammation, refreshes your mood, aids post-workout recovery.

Together? You get contrast therapy on the go — no ice baths or heating pads required.

Stay Focused with Hot & Cold Power

Science says hot drinks like coffee can improve alertness. Cold drinks help refresh your brain and reset focus. Splitflask lets you carry both. So whether you’re charging through meetings or powering through a workout, you’ve got the right sip at the right time.

Boost Performance and Recovery uploaded picture

From the gym to the job site, hot and cold hydration helps your body regulate and recover efficiently. Cold water cools your core. Hot tea aids digestion and soothes aching muscles.With Splitflask, you don’t have to choose one or the other. You get both.

Having a Choice Leads to Better Habits

Studies show that giving people choices increases healthy habit formation and follow-through. Splitflask makes it effortless to drink what you want when you feel the need—because your favorite beverages are always right there, together.

2. See-through cover for a clear view of your beverages.

      uploaded picture BEAUTY DROPZ EDIBLE SKINCARE AS HEALTHY SKIN STARTS FROM WITHIN

      Introducing a NEW range of edible skincare, Beauty Dropz ingestible supplements work from the inside out to provide targeted solutions for your skincare needs. Whether at home or on-the-go, take these daily drops for fast nutrient absorption and long-term results.

      Hyaluronic – Looking to boost skin elasticity and hydration? Hyaluronic Acid, naturally found in the skin acts like a moisture magnet, helping to keep your complexion plump and dewy. These berry-flavoured drops are infused with skin-loving Vitamin C, B5, and zinc to deeply hydrate and support a radiant, youthful glow from within.

      Hair Hero – Drop your way to luscious locks this summer! These biotin-rich drops are your hair’s new hero—supporting thickness, growth, and a healthy scalp from the inside out. Infused with zinc and selenium to help strengthen hair follicles and maintain their integrity, each drop delivers powerful nourishment in a delicious grape flavour.

      Beauty Dropz Nutritionist, Jacqueline McCusker, comments, “Edible skincare is a growing trend, which pivots on ingestible beauty supplements, working from the inside out to provide essential nutrients and enhance skin health. When taken orally, nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream and delivered to the skin through the circulation. This can result in more widespread benefits compared to topical products, which only penetrate the outer layers of the skin. 

      Ingestible supplements can offer long-term benefits by nourishing the skin at a cellular level. The consistent use of supplements containing vitamins, antioxidants, and other beneficial ingredients can help maintain skin health and combat aging over time. I always recommend a nutrient-dense diet with the consistent use of supplements.”

      Beauty Dropz are £14.99 each. All five products are available at Boots.com and Holland & Barrett online (except Collagen at H&B) from 8 July onwards. Retinol and Hyaluronic are in 300 Holland & Barrett stores.
