Aquafina (/ˌɑːkwəˈfnə/) is an American brand of purified bottled water that is produced by PepsiCo, consisting of both unflavored and flavored water. The Aquafina brand name is also licensed for use on multiple skin care products, including lip balm and wrinkle cream. It was first distributed in Wichita, Kansas in July 1994, before becoming more widely sold across the United States, Canada, Spain, Peru (called "San Carlos"), Lebanon, Turkey, the GCC countries, Iran, Egypt, Nigeria, Morocco, Vietnam, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. The product was introduced after four unsuccessful previous attempts by PepsiCo to enter the bottled water market, including the creation of Ice Mountain in 1987. The brand now primarily competes with The Coca-Cola Company's Dasani, Keurig Dr. Pepper's Dejà Blue, and the various names used by BlueTriton Brands. As of 2009, Aquafina represented 13.4% of domestic bottled water sales in the United States, making it the number one bottled water brand as measured by retail sales.
