BORBA beverages contain antioxidants, vitamins and botanicals.

The BORBA line currently is available at high-end retailers, such as Sephora, Ulta and Equinox Gyms. Select items also are sold through multimedia retailer QVC.
"Anheuser-Busch understands our vision and the tremendous potential of BORBA's drinkable skin care line.

"Adding the BORBA Skin Balance Waters and Aqua-Less Crystallines to our portfolio allows us to participate in the emerging nutraceutical beverage category," says Dave Peacock, vice president of business operations, Anheuser-Busch, Inc. "The BORBA line of beverages provides innovative and highly profitable products for our wholesalers and retail customers, while expanding our business into high-growth beverages beyond beer." |
