","voiceSummary":"Filterbaby writes with a confident, slightly cheeky beauty-meets-health voice built on a founder story rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and three generations of healthcare practice. Sentences run short to medium and mix credential-heavy claims (patents, patients treated, FDA-approved parts from Japan, Switzerland, and Germany) with playful, self-assured asides like 'We're just that good, baby' and 'According to our mom, too high.' The brand leans on hard numbers and cited sources (EWG, WHO, EPA) to back up water-contamination claims, then pivots into a wink-and-a-nudge tone rather than staying purely clinical. It does not use corporate hedge language or apologize for confidence; it states the problem (contaminated tap water), backs it with data, and asserts the product is the obvious fix. Rhetorical questions and direct address ('Don't Believe Us?') invite skepticism only to knock it down with facts and a dare to check your own state's water quality.","layoutNotes":"Colour usage derived from the brand palette roles: Charcoal Ink (#424242) for headlines and body copy. Stone Fog (#bcbcbc) and Pure White (#ffffff) for page and section backgrounds. Slate Gray (#7f7f7f) for primary buttons and links.

Filterbaby blends a wellness-brand warmth with the specificity of a healthcare founder story. It never hedges. It states a problem, backs it with a cited number, and asserts the product as the fix.\n\n## Vocabulary\n- Favor concrete, source-backed numbers: '200+ million people,' '90 of 320 toxic chemicals,' '45+ patents.'\n- Use 'baby' sparingly as a brand-voice signature ('We're just that good, baby,' 'filterbaby.com'), not as a tic in every sentence.\n- Reference the founders (Xin and Lynn Shui) and their TCM and acupuncture background when credibility needs grounding.\n- Name real countries of origin for parts (Japan, Switzerland, Germany) when discussing manufacturing quality; do not invent new claims about materials or certifications beyond what the source states.\n- Do not name specific vendor names (payment, subscription, reviews, SMS/email, affiliate, testing, or analytics platforms) in customer-facing copy. If describing a capability (e.g., subscriptions, reviews), describe it generically.\n\n## Do\n- Open with the problem (contaminated tap water, skin/hair damage) before pivoting to the solution.\n- Cite a real source when making a water-quality claim (EWG, WHO, EPA) exactly as the brand already does.\n- Use short declarative sentences for confident claims, then a slightly longer sentence to add texture or a wink.\n- Let founder credentials (Master's in Acupuncture, 10,000+ patients treated, 3 generations in TCM) carry authority instead of generic superlatives.\n- Use direct address ('Your skin will thank you,' 'go ahead, we dare you') to invite the reader into the claim.\n\n## Do Not\n- Do not use em dashes.\n- Do not hedge claims with 'may,' 'could potentially,' or similar softeners; the brand states things plainly.\n- Do not invent new patent counts, patient counts, or country-of-origin claims beyond what is sourced ('90+ years,' '10,000+ patients,' '45+ patents,' parts from Japan/Switzerland/Germany).\n- Do not use generic beauty-industry filler ('glow up,' 'skin goals') that does not appear in the source voice.\n- Do not apologize for the price point or hedge on efficacy claims.\n\n## Sentence Patterns\n- Problem statement, then data point, then brand pivot: 'Research shows most U.S. households' tap water contains chlorine, microplastics, heavy metals...Click on your state to see what's in your area's water.'\n- Short punchy close-out lines after a longer explanatory paragraph: 'We're just that good, baby.'\n- Playful rhetorical asides in parentheticals or short clauses: 'According to our mom, too high.'\n\n## Channel Notes\n- Product and email copy can lean more playful and direct-address heavy.\n- Founder-story and education content (like the Our Story and water-quality pages) should stay closer to the credential-forward, source-cited register.","brandPillarsMd":"# Filterbaby Brand Pillars\n\n## Root-Cause Thinking\nFilterbaby was built on the idea that skin and hair problems often start with what's in the water, not just what's applied on top. The brand consistently frames its filters as addressing a root cause rather than masking a symptom.\n\n## Healthcare-Grounded Credibility\nFounded by a licensed acupuncturist with a Master's degree and 10,000+ patients treated, spanning three generations of Traditional Chinese Medicine practice. This lineage is the brand's primary source of authority.\n\n## Uncompromising Material Standards\nFilters use FDA-approved parts sourced from Japan, Switzerland, and Germany, and the brand explicitly states it avoids questionable substances like calcium sulfite used by some competitors.\n\n## Rigorous, Repeated Testing\nThe brand describes its filters as 'triple tested' and put through rigorous testing in its own factory before reaching a customer, reinforcing a promise that nothing ships without verification.\n\n## Confident, No-Apology Voice\nFilterbaby does not hedge. It states facts, cites sources (EWG, WHO, EPA), and dares the customer to check their own local water quality, backing playful confidence with real data.","emailChannelAuditMd":null,"competitorContextMd":"# Competitor Context: Filterbaby\n\n## Category\nFilterbaby sits in the water filtration category, specifically the sub-niche of point-of-use skincare filtration: faucet filters, shower filters, showerhead filters, and bath filters marketed for skin and hair health rather than for drinking water safety alone. This is a distinct read from the mass drinking-water filter category (pitcher filters, under-sink RO systems, whole-home systems), where the buying trigger is taste and safety of water for consumption. Filterbaby's buying trigger is different: the site frames tap water quality as a root cause of dry, sensitive, and reactive skin and hair, and positions its filters as a skincare and haircare product first, a water filter second.\n\n## Where Filterbaby sits\nThe brand's own positioning claims are: a founder story rooted in three generations of Traditional Chinese Medicine practice (a licensed acupuncturist founder who treated 10,000+ patients and observed a tap-water-to-skin-condition correlation firsthand), 45+ patents and applications worldwide on its filtration technology, FDA-approved parts sourced from Japan, Switzerland, and Germany, and a stated practice of triple-testing every filter in its own factory. The site explicitly calls out avoiding \"questionable substances like calcium sulfite\" that it claims some other filters use, which is the closest the source material comes to a direct competitive claim, though no competitor is named.\n\nThe catalog itself signals a mature, iterated product line rather than a single hero SKU: two hardware generations (Filter 1.0 and Filter 2.0) across faucet, shower, showerhead, and bath form factors, plus three tiers within the shower line (Essential, Diamond, Pro Series, Showerhead Pro) and a dense replacement-cartridge and subscription business. This breadth (85 SKUs across bundles, BOGO variants, and refill subscriptions) suggests a brand that has invested heavily in retention economics (recurring filter replacement revenue) on top of the initial hardware sale, which is a meaningfully different business model from a one-time water-filter purchase.\n\n## Where category pressure comes from\nBased on the source material alone, the two most likely pressure points are: (1) price and perceived necessity, since a $139 faucet filter or $139-$249 shower filter is a discretionary purchase competing against free tap water and against cheaper mass-market filters (pitcher filters, generic shower filter attachments) that do not carry the skincare positioning or the patent/testing claims; and (2) proof of efficacy, since the core claim (tap water causes skin issues, this filter fixes it) is not something the crawled pages substantiate with third-party lab results or dermatological studies, only with founder testimony and cited-but-unlinked-to-specific-data EWG/WHO/EPA statistics about tap water contamination broadly, not about Filterbaby's product's efficacy specifically.\n\n## Note on category peers\nNo named competitors were surfaced in this pass. A later deep-research pass should identify the direct competitive set: skincare-focused shower and faucet filter brands, and the broader premium water-filtration category, so this document can be sharpened with named comparisons and where Filterbaby's patent claims and TCM-rooted founder story create genuine differentiation versus where it does not.","audiencePersonasMd":"# Audience Personas: Filterbaby\n\n## 1. The Skin-Struggle Investigator\nThis person has tried multiple skincare products and routines without solving a persistent issue (dryness, sensitivity, breakouts, or eczema-adjacent symptoms) and has started researching root causes rather than just treating symptoms. Filterbaby's founder story speaks directly to this persona: a TCM-trained founder who \"personally suffered from very dry and sensitive skin\" and traced it to tap water quality after moving homes. This persona buys the Skincare Faucet Filter 2.0 or the original Skincare Filter as a diagnostic purchase, testing the tap-water theory on their own skin. The angle that reaches them is the root-cause narrative and the state-by-state water quality lookup tool on the site, which invites them to verify the problem before buying the solution.\n\n## 2. The Routine Optimizer / Biohacker-Adjacent Buyer\nThis buyer already has an established, often expensive skincare and haircare routine and is looking for the next incremental input to protect that investment, similar to how they might already use a humidifier, a red-light device, or a specific serum stack. The bundle structure (Faucet + Shower combos, Faucet + Showerhead Pro bundles) and the tiered product line (Essential, Diamond, Pro Series) speaks to this persona's tendency to build a fuller system rather than buy a single item. The angle is completeness and upgrade path: once they own one filter, the catalog's BOGO and multi-pack pricing nudges them toward outfitting every water touchpoint (faucet, shower, showerhead, bath) in their home.\n\n## 3. The Subscription-Minded Household Maintainer\nThis persona is less driven by the skincare narrative and more by practical home maintenance: they've bought into the filter and now need to keep it running. The catalog's heavy investment in refill and replacement SKUs (16 products in the Filter Replacement category, plus dedicated subscription variants at the same price point as one-time purchases) shows Filterbaby has built specifically for this recurring buyer. The angle is convenience and continuity: subscription pricing that matches one-time pricing removes friction, and the messaging opportunity is reminding this buyer that an un-replaced filter cartridge stops delivering the benefit they already paid for.\n\n## 4. The Credential-Seeking Skeptic\nGiven the premium price point relative to generic filter attachments, some buyers will arrive skeptical and look for third-party validation before purchasing. The site's repeated emphasis on \"45+ Patents Around The World,\" FDA-approved parts from Japan, Switzerland, and Germany, and \"triple tested\" manufacturing claims are aimed at this persona. The angle that reaches them is specificity and credentialing: named countries of origin, patent counts, and the founder's clinical background (Master's in Acupuncture, 10,000+ patients treated) function as trust signals for a buyer who wants evidence before spending $139 or more on a filter.","catalogGroundingMd":"# Catalog Grounding: Filterbaby\n\nThis document reflects a point-in-time snapshot of the live Shopify catalog (85 products across 5 categories).

Faucet and Shower Filter categories are the top-of-funnel hardware purchase; Filter Replacement is the retention product, reinforced by a Klaviyo email/SMS stack and a Seal Subscriptions subscription program (per detected tech stack) that likely automates refill reminders and subscription billing. Bundle and BOGO pricing appears extensively across the Shower Filter category, suggesting promotional bundling is a core, ongoing merchandising tactic rather than an occasional sale.","techStackMd":"- Ecommerce platform: Shopify (evidence: cdn.shopify.com)\n- Subscriptions: Seal Subscriptions (evidence: sealsubscriptions)\n- Marketing automation / email + SMS: Klaviyo (evidence: klaviyo.com)\n- Reviews: Judge.me (evidence: judgeme)\n- Affiliate / referral: Social Snowball (evidence: socialsnowball)\n- A/B testing: Intelligems (evidence: intelligems.io)\n- Analytics: Microsoft Clarity (evidence: clarity.ms)\n- Payments: Apple Pay (evidence: apple-pay), Shop Pay (evidence: shopifypay), Venmo (evidence: venmo)\n- CDN / infrastructure: cdnjs (evidence: cdnjs.cloudflare.com), Cloudflare (evidence: cloudflare.com)\n- Front-end libraries: Font Awesome (evidence: font-awesome)","channelMapMd":"# Channel Map: Filterbaby\n\n## Direct-to-consumer (primary, confirmed)\nFilterbaby's storefront is a Shopify site (confirmed via cdn.shopify.com fingerprint) at filterbaby.com, selling directly to consumers. The site supports Apple Pay, Shop Pay, and Venmo at checkout (confirmed via detected tech stack), which are consumer-checkout payment methods, reinforcing that the primary and confirmed motion is DTC. A subscription program is live via Seal Subscriptions, evidenced both by the tech stack detection and by dedicated subscription SKUs in the catalog (for example \"Filterbaby Skincare Filter Replacement 2.0 Subscription\" and \"Pro Series Shower Refill - Subscription\"), indicating recurring DTC revenue is a deliberate, built-out channel of its own, not just a one-time purchase model.\n\n## Retention and referral infrastructure (confirmed, supports DTC)\nThe detected tech stack shows Klaviyo for email and SMS marketing automation, Judge.me for reviews, and Social Snowball for affiliate/referral marketing. These are supporting infrastructure for the DTC channel: Judge.me collects and displays the customer reviews referenced on-site (\"4.8 out of 5 stars\" shown on the storefront), and Social Snowball indicates an active affiliate or referral program exists to drive new customer acquisition, meaning word-of-mouth and creator/affiliate partnerships are a live acquisition channel alongside paid and owned marketing, though the crawled pages did not surface a dedicated affiliate or influencer program page.\n\n## Retail, wholesale, and B2B\nNo retail stockist page, \"where to buy,\" wholesale, or trade-account page was found in the crawled site content. No B2B or net-terms tool (for example ResolvePay) or wholesale marketplace tool (for example Faire, Ankorstore) appears in the detected tech stack. Based on the available source material, Filterbaby currently shows no evidence of a retail or wholesale channel; the confirmed motion is DTC-only, supported by email/SMS retention, reviews, and affiliate/referral marketing. This does not rule out an unlisted or unindexed wholesale or retail relationship; it means the crawled pages and tech fingerprint gave no evidence of one, and a later, deeper crawl or a direct question to the brand owner would be needed to confirm or rule this out with certainty.","reportMarkdown":"---\nfirstWorkflow: quiz to bundle routing\n---\n\n:::hero{kicker=\"Brand strategy read\" imprint=\"2026\" align=\"left\" image=\"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/be67c9c5-a39e-41a9-a3fc-7663f8edd4d6.jpg\" alt=\"Filterbaby product still\" aspect=\"3/4\"}\nYour quiz already diagnoses the real problem before the sale.\nNext: let it recommend the whole-home system your catalog already sells.\n:::\n\n:::toc{layout=\"prelude\"}\n1. Decision Brief\n2. The Diagnosis\n3. What Moves First\n4. Proof\n5. Sequencing\n6. Control and Boundaries\n7. Metrics\n8. Sources and Supporting Documentation\n\nFilterBaby already does the hardest thing in this category correctly: it asks a shopper where their skin or hair is actually struggling before it shows a single product. That question is backed by a founder story, three generations of Traditional Chinese Medicine practice, and 45+ patents, which is more credibility than almost anyone else in this space brings to a homepage.\n\nThe opportunity sitting right behind that quiz is bigger than the single faucet filter it currently points to. Your catalog is already built for a whole-home answer across faucet, shower, showerhead, and bath, and the quiz is the natural front door into that system.\n\nThis read opens with that one move, backs it with your actual catalog and stack, checks it against two broader category peers, and lays out the weeks it takes to ship it.\n:::\n\n:::decision-brief{}\nYour quiz already earns the right to recommend a system: it asks where the problem shows up, skin, hair, or both, before it pitches anything. The fastest lever available right now is connecting that diagnosis to the multi-point bundles your catalog already sells, so a shopper who answers \"dry skin and thinning hair\" lands on the Faucet + Showerhead Pro bundle instead of a single faucet filter.\n\n**Recommendation.** Ship the quiz-to-bundle routing flow first, keep every routing decision with your team, and see the first version live in your claimed workspace.\n:::\n\n## The Diagnosis\n\nYour credibility case is unusually strong for this category. A licensed acupuncturist founder backs it, alongside three generations in Traditional Chinese Medicine, 10,000+ patients treated, 45+ patents, and FDA-approved parts sourced from Japan, Switzerland, and Germany. All of that supports the same instinct that already shows up on your homepage quiz, which opens with a question about where the problem lives instead of a product grid.\n\nThat quiz currently has nowhere to go but a single filter recommendation and a discount code. Your catalog tells a completely different story about what you are capable of selling. The Shower Filter category alone runs 44 products across four tiers (Essential, Diamond, Pro Series, Showerhead Pro), and the Faucet + Diamond Series, Faucet + Pro Series, and Faucet + Showerhead Pro bundles, priced from $239 to $500, already exist as purchasable pages. The system is built, and the quiz has not been pointed to it yet.\n\nTwo broader category peers make the case for closing that gap now. LARQ leads every page it runs with a single hydration claim and a live discount banner, giving shoppers one hook and nothing else to explore. Canopy, the home-goods brand built as Hyku Home Inc., does more per page: bestseller cards carry star ratings and review counts directly in navigation, and a named collaboration collection runs across every template. The move worth taking from both is that proof and merchandising travel with the product wherever a shopper sees it, not just on the final page. Your quiz result screen is exactly that kind of surface, and routing it into your bundle catalog brings it level with what these peers already do on every product card.\n\nCategory coverage adds one more data point in your favor. Editorial roundups covering self-cleaning and UV water bottles are rewarding outcome language (\"you'll hit your hydration goal\") over mechanism language (\"UV purification\"), with LARQ currently holding the default-benchmark slot in that comparison content. Your quiz already speaks outcome language natively, since it starts from the symptom, not the spec. Routing it to a system instead of a single SKU extends the advantage you already hold.\n\n:::image-pair{layout=\"full-bleed\" ratio=\"4/5\"}\n- src=https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/aa0e1458-1a40-4f9a-90ff-f3390895b292.jpg :: alt=\"Faucet filter product\" :: caption=\"Faucet Filter 2.0. :: The entry hardware every quiz path currently ends at.\"\n- src=https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/91db4fde-5e18-491a-99f9-c57caa7ee579.jpg :: alt=\"Shower filter product\" :: caption=\"Pro Series Shower Filter. :: Already bundled with the faucet filter at $249, but not yet reachable from the quiz.\"\n:::\n\n:::pull-quote{composition=\"aligned\" source=\"Homepage visual evidence, 2026\"}\nThe quiz asks where the problem lives before it shows a single product.

Her discount stays applied, and she sees the bundle's real product photography in place of a generic filter shot.\n\n:::figure{src=\"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/b6689208-3102-4884-bbad-0360d613505b.jpg\" alt=\"Filterbaby showerhead filter product\" caption=\"Showerhead Pro. :: $159 standalone, $298 in the Faucet + Showerhead Pro bundle, with no current quiz path leading here.\" width=\"canvas\"}\n:::\n\n:::figure{src=\"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/ffc22eee-e4ae-4ad5-b863-93cc653fe7eb.jpg\" alt=\"Filterbaby bath filter product\" caption=\"Bath Filter. :: $119, the fourth form factor with no dedicated quiz branch.\" width=\"canvas\"}\n:::\n\n## Sequencing\n\n:::table-editorial{caption=\"Four-week build\" source=\"Sequencing plan\"}\n| Week | What ships |\n|---|---|\n| Week 1 | Map every quiz answer combination to its best-fit bundle or single SKU from the existing catalog |\n| Week 2 | Build the results screen that shows the matched bundle, its real product photography, and the applied discount |\n| Week 3 | Add the Showerhead Pro and Bath Filter branches so all four form factors are reachable from the quiz |\n| Week 4 | Layer in the refill subscription prompt at checkout for whichever hardware the shopper buys |\n:::\n\n## Control and Boundaries\n\nEvery routing rule, meaning which quiz answer maps to which bundle, is a call your team makes directly. Nothing about the founder story, the patent claims, or the pricing changes. This work builds on top of the quiz you already made and the catalog you already sell, and it does not touch either one.\n\n:::stat-strip\n- 85 :: Live catalog SKUs\n- 44 :: Shower Filter category products\n- 16 :: Filter Replacement SKUs already subscription-priced\n:::\n\n## Sources and Supporting Documentation\n\nThis brief draws on a two-page crawl of filterbaby.com along with eight product pages read directly from the live storefront, including the Skincare Filter, the Faucet + Shower Filter Bundle, the Pro Series Shower Filter, and the Diamond Series shower filter and refill listings. Catalog figures (85 products across 5 categories) come from the public product feed, and the homepage visual evidence describing the personalization quiz was captured directly from the live storefront. Product photography referenced throughout was pulled directly from FilterBaby's own storefront assets.\n\nNo exact niche competitors surfaced in the first-pass search, which reads less as an absence of research and more as a sign of how few brands combine skincare-first positioning with a diagnostic quiz. To ground this brief in real category behavior, we ran a deeper read against two broader peers, LARQ (self-cleaning hydration bottles) and Canopy, the home-goods brand built as Hyku Home Inc. (shower and home-comfort systems), and paired that with a category-wide check of editorial and social coverage for self-cleaning and UV water products. The ad-signal check against Meta's Ad Library returned no usable creative for FilterBaby or either peer, a scraping limitation rather than a finding, and social trend coverage found no FilterBaby mentions, so both notes are here for completeness rather than as claims. Tech stack findings (Shopify, Klaviyo, Seal Subscriptions, Judge.me, Social Snowball) were confirmed by reading the live site directly. The email channel itself was not sampled, so no lifecycle or SMS behavior is described here beyond what the public site and tech fingerprint show.","assets":[{"kind":"logo","url":"https://filterbaby.com/cdn/shop/files/Filterbaby_-_Skincare_Water_Filters.svg?v=1718050678&width=500","label":"site logo (Organization.logo)","width":337,"height":80,"mimeType":"image/svg+xml"},{"kind":"icon","url":"https://filterbaby.com/cdn/shop/files/favicon_1.png?crop=center&height=32&v=1701466238&width=32","label":"Filterbaby favicon","width":32,"height":32,"mimeType":"image/png"},{"kind":"product_image","url":"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/be67c9c5-a39e-41a9-a3fc-7663f8edd4d6.jpg","label":"Filterbaby Skincare Filter 2.0 product shot","width":2000,"height":2500,"mimeType":"image/jpeg"},{"kind":"product_image","url":"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/98589865-192f-43d9-83be-9ad0423cabe9.jpg","label":"Filterbaby filter product photo","width":1600,"height":2000,"mimeType":"image/jpeg"},{"kind":"product_image","url":"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/b6689208-3102-4884-bbad-0360d613505b.jpg","label":"Filterbaby filter product photo","width":1600,"height":2000,"mimeType":"image/jpeg"},{"kind":"product_image","url":"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/114018b2-1cf6-4e85-8dd4-dde76868a883.jpg","label":"Filterbaby filter product photo","width":1600,"height":2000,"mimeType":"image/jpeg"},{"kind":"product_image","url":"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/ffc22eee-e4ae-4ad5-b863-93cc653fe7eb.jpg","label":"Filterbaby filter product photo","width":1600,"height":2000,"mimeType":"image/jpeg"},{"kind":"product_image","url":"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/9c8c5652-831b-4a73-9899-26d4761c5919.jpg","label":"Filterbaby filter product photo","width":1600,"height":2000,"mimeType":"image/jpeg"},{"kind":"other","url":"http://filterbaby.com/cdn/shop/files/Filterbaby_2.0_Preview_2.png?v=1712980510","label":"About Filterbaby - Doctor-Founded, Clinically Tested preview image","width":1200,"height":628,"mimeType":"image/png"},{"kind":"product_image","url":"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/aa0e1458-1a40-4f9a-90ff-f3390895b292.jpg","label":"Commerce seed still 7","width":1800,"height":1800,"mimeType":"image/jpeg"},{"kind":"product_image","url":"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/91db4fde-5e18-491a-99f9-c57caa7ee579.jpg","label":"Commerce seed still 31","width":1800,"height":1800,"mimeType":"image/jpeg"},{"kind":"product_image","url":"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/315ad773-3b50-4b5a-9e1c-d5f822757fd1.png","label":"Commerce seed still 46","width":1800,"height":1800,"mimeType":"image/png"},{"kind":"product_image","url":"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/da811175-147f-44cf-b007-47b46ef0e990.jpg","label":"Commerce seed still 4","width":1500,"height":1500,"mimeType":"image/jpeg"},{"kind":"product_image","url":"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/3300ada0-f86e-4efd-a62b-090ebf272a83.jpg","label":"Commerce seed still 10","width":1500,"height":1500,"mimeType":"image/jpeg"},{"kind":"product_image","url":"https://ngyxnwdduwnvmesoskdg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/brand-assets/filterbaby-com/product_image/1a51800d-5bae-48bf-8faa-ec21e5ccf2b2.jpg","label":"Commerce seed still 13","width":1500,"height":1500,"mimeType":"image/jpeg"}]}
