Baricade was built to secure your drink like a vault.
I started Baricade because, as a mom, and former drink spiking victim, I wanted everyone to feel safe with their drinks—at parties, on campus, traveling, or just out living life.
Our approach is simple: First, real protection matters. That’s why every bottle is fingerprint-locked and tamper-proof. Second, it has to actually work—leak-proof, durable, and easy to use. And third, it should look good enough to carry anywhere, from your morning commute to a night out.
We built Baricade to give people peace of mind in a world where watching your drink shouldn’t be necessary—but too often is.
Stay safe, stay hydrated.

Our 4 Core Values
About Security
Your safety is our top priority. Every Baricade bottle is built with biometric lock tech to protect your drink, wherever you go.
More Peace of Mind
We believe personal safety should be simple. That’s why our bottles lock with a fingerprint, not a complicated setup or extra gear.
Designed For Real Life
From campus to clubs, gyms to airports, Baricade is made to move with you. Durable, stylish, and made to fit your life.
Built With Intention
We obsess over every detail, test every lock, and build products we’d want our own friends and sisters to use.
Real Stories. Real Reasons We Built This.
Baricade was created because the numbers—and the stories—are impossible to ignore.
77% of women say they’ve been spiked or know someone who has. And behind every stat is a face:
A teacher who had poison put in her bottle left alone in the classroom
An office worker whose water bottle was spiked by a colleague
Two young women spiked on a trip to Tulum—they thought they were being cautious.
A college student drugged at a frat party, who woke up with no memory and no one taking her seriously.
These aren’t edge cases. They’re everyday moments turned traumatic—because there was no real protection in place.
So we built it.
Baricade is the first fingerprint-lock bottle designed to keep your drink sealed, secure, and only accessible to you.
Because no one should have to watch their drink like a hawk.
Because trust can be betrayed.
Because your safety is not up for debate.
Our Signature Products
Security with Impact.
Not only does Baricade protect your drink—but it protects others, too.
We donate a portion of every sale to organizations like RAINN and SafeBAE, helping survivors of sexual assault and funding education programs to prevent drink tampering and abuse—especially on college campuses. Everyone deserves to feel safe, and we’re committed to being part of that change.
And because safety should never be a privilege, we also donate product to shelters and nonprofit partners working with at-risk women, students, and travelers—people who need extra protection but may not have access to it.
Baricade was built from real stories. Giving back is how we honor them.
