Vanessa Hudgens and Oliver Trevena Celebrate Caliwater’s New Sweetfin Partnership in Los Angeles

Vanessa Hudgens and Oliver Trevena are marking a new expansion for their beverage company Caliwater with a partnership with Sweetfin, the Southern California poke bowl chain. The co-founders appeared at a Sweetfin location in Los Angeles this week to celebrate the launch, which will make Caliwater available at all 15 Sweetfin restaurants across Southern California. The move gives the prickly pear cactus water brand a broader retail footprint and places it in front of more consumers seeking wellness-focused drinks.
The collaboration will continue in June with the debut of a limited-time Sweetfin bowl created with input from Hudgens. The new menu item is said to reflect her personal tastes and wellness-oriented lifestyle, featuring fresh ingredients chosen for balance, flavor, and nourishment. Hudgens said the partnership brings together products and foods she genuinely uses and enjoys, describing the project as fresh, flavorful, and aligned with the way she likes to eat and live.
Trevena said the Sweetfin partnership is a natural fit as Caliwater continues to scale, pointing to the restaurant chain’s emphasis on nutritious, high-quality ingredients and its strong Southern California presence. The expansion is designed to introduce Caliwater to a wider audience through a brand that already resonates with health-conscious diners.
Caliwater was founded by Hudgens and Trevena in 2021 and has steadily built a profile in the wellness beverage market. The drink is made from prickly pear cactus water and is marketed as naturally containing electrolytes, antioxidants, and vitamins while remaining low in calories and free of artificial sweeteners. That positioning has helped the brand stand out in the increasingly competitive functional beverage category.
The company has also gained attention through support from celebrity investors and fans, including Benson Boone, Demi Lovato, Glen Powell, Gerard Butler, Nikki Reed, and Cody Bellinger. The Sweetfin partnership adds another visible step in Caliwater’s growth as it expands from a celebrity-backed startup into a more widely available lifestyle beverage brand.
For Hudgens, the collaboration extends beyond business and into a personal expression of her health and food preferences. For Sweetfin, it adds a recognizable wellness brand to its menu and stores, reinforcing its focus on fresh, ingredient-driven offerings. Together, the partnership reflects the continuing crossover between celebrity-led consumer brands and mainstream dining concepts, especially in Southern California’s health and wellness market.
