Drinking Harmonized H20 as a Sunscreen...How far does one need to read to find complete idiocy?
It only takes one sentence on their about page to reveal idiocy that is contrary to any reasonable empirical understanding of modern physics (please do continue down the rabbit hole though):

So, the human body is not really best thought of as matter, but instead as a hologram? Clearly, they mistook "Red Dwarf" for a series of scientific lectures.
Is this company potentially dangerous? Will ignorant and gullible people believe their marketing and use their "product" in lieu of sunscreen?

So, what does "Neutralizes UV radiation" mean? Beyond that, what does "Allows for increased sun exposure (30x more than normal)" mean exactly? Does the latter mean that if one uses this product, one will be subjected to greater (unprotected) exposure than if one actually were protected by a sunscreen? Is their latter statement a veiled, cynical admission that their product has no effect at all?

Drinking Up for Sun Safety
Posted: May 2, 2014
As the multifunctional trend continues to grow and branch out, innovative companies and brands are looking for new ways to bring multiple benefits to consumers through just one product. As Mintel’s senior beauty analyst Charlotte Libby discusses in her blog post “Inside Out Beauty: The launch of a UV protection water supplement,” this has brought the trend of nutricosmetics back around.
Libby writes in her post, “With the promise of summer just around the corner, many will be stocking up on bottled water and sunscreen to safely enjoy the hot weather. Looking to combine these two summer essentials is a new sun protection product, Osmosis Harmonized H20. Developed in the United States, it has a defense comparable to an SPF 30 and is one of the first drinkable waters with sunscreen properties.”
More and more, beauty is working to align itself with healthy living, and this type of product targets that marketing aspect perfect—and it’s likely going to take off even further. “This trend for inside-out beauty is now moving into other areas of beauty and personal care, such as sun protection. While supplement innovation has existed in the sun care market before, with products such as Nurture Protect Skin Nourishment Supplements claiming to protect the skin from UV damage as well as improving general skin health, the new Osmosis Harmonized H20 is one of the first drinkable waters with sunscreen properties. The company claims that after drinking, molecules vibrate on the skin in a unique way which cancels 97% of UVA and UVB rays, giving a comparable SPF protection rating of 30,” Libby writes.

Inside Out Beauty: The launch of a UV protection water supplement
Author: Charlotte Libby. Published on May 2nd, 2014
With the promise of summer just around the corner, many will be stocking up on bottled water and sunscreen to safely enjoy the hot weather. Looking to combine these two summer essentials is a new sun protection product, Osmosis Harmonized H20. Developed in the US, it has a defense comparable to an SPF 30 and is one of the first drinkable waters with sunscreen properties.
BPC markets move toward an ’inside out’ approach
In the UK, we have seen product launches in the beauty and personal care markets move toward a more ‘inside out’ approach.
This trend for inside-out beauty is now moving into other areas of beauty and personal care, such as sun protection.

Are these organizations closely related? Let's see if Osmosis Pür Medical Skincare's YouTube videos shed any light on this question:
Osmosis Pür Medical Skincare offers this 'helpful' video on YouTube which eventually offers a link back to harmonizedwater.com:
Further, Osmosis Pür Medical Skincare also offers another truly helpful video that truly illustrates the quality of their understanding of water molecules:
To cut to the chase as it were, here is the frame whereby they put their advanced knowledge on display.
Behold the "water molecule" as it is subjected to "imprinting" with radio frequency energy:
Spectacular in its glory, is it not? Good old HO2!
With that molecular beauty occupying center stage, let's shift over to some uncritical news coverage:
One wonders if news anchors ever actually check out the qualifications of their guests.
