3 cloned Hydratis shops sell its electrolyte tubes at 65% off, priced in dollars
Three .shop stores run clones of hydratis.co: hydratisnow.shop, hydratismalldirect.shop and hydratisdirect.shop. They carry Hydratis product names, descriptions and photos, priced 65% to 70% below a converted 'original' price. A fourth, hydratispierremart.shop, puts the Hydratis name in its page title and menu but sells unrelated products. A fifth .shop domain is suspended. Hydratis makes effervescent electrolyte tablets in France and sells them, with its insulated bottles, from hydratis.co. We found the stores through our scan, a certificate search and our own lookalike-domain checks. The marketplaces showed resale of genuine-looking stock and no counterfeit listings.

The catalogue went up 14 seconds after registration
hydratisnow.shop, hydratismalldirect.shop and hydratisdirect.shop run the same storefront code. Each opens on a Hydratis campaign photo and a 'Trending Now' row of Hydratis tubes, packs and bottles, and each product page repeats the official description word for word. On the Pack Best Sellers page, 'Optimise ton hydratation avec notre sélection des 4 saveurs incontournables' is lifted from hydratis.co, followed by five identical placeholder blocks titled 'Détails et artisanat'.
The template was built for a clothing shop. On hydratisnow.shop, the 'What Our Customers Say' block praises the quality of the fabrics and says 'the clothes fit well'. A closing banner invites visitors to 'redefine your style with Hydratis', and hydratisdirect.shop promises 'textiles selected for their durability'. All three stores list the same support address on a domain Hydratis does not use. It belongs to an unrelated business with the same name.
The three domains share a registrar and resolved to addresses on the same hosting network. hydratisdirect.shop was registered at 06:05:24 UTC on 14 July 2026, and its product sitemap is dated 14 seconds later, so the catalogue was in place almost as soon as the domain existed.
The reviews on a Hydratis clone praise the fabric and the fit. The template was made for a clothing shop.
What we caught
The three clone stores were registered through the same registrar on 22 May, 13 June and 14 July 2026. All three pointed to the same hosting network when we checked.
The stores list 52 to 65 products. Between 35 and 42 of the product addresses match hydratis.co's own, from saveur-peche-1 to pack-decouverte-bleu.
The Pack Best Sellers costs €36.00 on hydratis.co. hydratisnow.shop lists it at $14.80, 65% off an 'original' $42.28, which is the euro price converted to dollars.
Its title reads 'Hydratis France' and its menu lists Hydratis flavours. The products behind those links are unrelated items such as a shower gel.
The evidence, piece by piece
Three clone stores registered between 22 May and 14 July 2026, each opening on Hydratis photos.

Hydratis photos, repriced in dollars
The clones re-host Hydratis product photos on their own servers. We compared the Pack Best Sellers photo from all three with the original on hydratis.co. The files share the same 1400 x 1207 pixel dimensions and a combined image-hash distance of 4: the same picture, recompressed.
Prices are in US dollars. The crossed-out 'original' is the official euro price, converted at a slightly different rate on each store. On hydratisnow.shop, a single €9.90 tube became $11.63 and sold for $4.07, and the €49.50 discovery pack with bottle became $58.14 and sold for $20.35. hydratisdirect.shop listed the Pack Best Sellers at $14.37 against an 'original' $41.06. hydratismalldirect.shop put a 70% badge on several discovery packs. We placed no orders, so we cannot say what, if anything, these stores ship.
hydratismalldirect.shop inherited a suspended store's catalogue
hydratismall.shop was registered on 26 March 2026 and is now on 'client hold', a status usually set when a registrar suspends a domain. hydratismalldirect.shop, registered in June, has a product sitemap dated 26 March 2026 at 11:37 UTC, one minute after hydratismall.shop was registered. That suggests its catalogue came over from the suspended store. Certificate logs also show two older Hydratis lookalikes, a .shop and a .com, that received certificates in 2024 and 2025 and no longer resolve. We could not see what they hosted, so we don't count them.
hydratispierremart.shop, registered on 14 November 2025, runs a different storefront. Its page title is 'Hydratis France - Hydratation de Qualité avec Offres Spéciales et Réductions', and its menu lists 'hydratis pastille', 'hydratis menthe', 'hydratis coco' and other flavours. None of the products behind them is Hydratis: the link named 'hydratis-neutre' opens a shower gel, and the homepage shows an intimate-care gel from another brand. The page loads a Facebook tracking pixel whose ID is passed in the link, a set-up built for paid social traffic. The store uses the Hydratis name purely to pull in shoppers.
eBay resellers, no counterfeit signals
Our searches of Alibaba, AliExpress and Temu returned 119 results for the brand name. None was a Hydratis product or used the Hydratis name. Our Amazon.com search returned other electrolyte brands only. Google Lens found Hydratis photos on many Amazon listings in France, the UK, Spain and Italy, which appear to be the brand's own or its retailers'. We did not check who sells each one.
On eBay.fr we found 12 listings of Hydratis tubes and packs from individual resellers, priced from €5.37 to €29.90. Several give a best-before date of October 2026, and four single-tube listings were priced above the official €9.90. Nothing we saw points to counterfeit stock. Google Lens also matched the official honey-lemon tube photo to a cross-border marketplace listing titled as the coconut flavour. We could not open that listing to check it.
Hydratis photos also appeared on five indexed pages across four unrelated websites that appear to have been compromised to show shop pages. On a second visit, the pages returned errors or the sites' own content.
How to shut it down
The takedown plan, step by step, built from the evidence above.
Take down the 3 clones as one case
Send the registrar and hosting provider one evidence pack showing the shared storefront code, catalogue, photos and support address across hydratisnow.shop, hydratismalldirect.shop and hydratisdirect.shop.
Prove the catalogue came from hydratis.co
Include the matching product addresses, the re-hosted Pack Best Sellers photo and the converted 'original' prices.
Report the bait store on the name alone
hydratispierremart.shop sells no Hydratis products, so the case rests on the name in its domain, title and menu. Report it to its registrar as trademark misuse.
Catch the next .shop name early
New Hydratis .shop domains appeared every few weeks between March and July 2026. Monitor certificate logs and check each new name for the same storefront.
Accurate photos, reviews for a clothing shop
A shopper on one of the clones sees Hydratis photos, flavours and product text, all accurate because they were lifted from the brand. The giveaways are the domain, prices in dollars, 65% off the whole range and reviews written for a clothing shop.
The three clones share code, catalogue, registrar and hosting, and one appears to have replaced a store that was already suspended. Taking them down one at a time leaves room for the next swap. Report them together and watch for the next name.
