Vegan Products to Watch Out for in 2018

As you walk around Natural Products Expo trying all the innovative new vegan products, you get the palpable sense that vegan lifestyles are more prevalent than ever. So many companies are creating products that don’t support the cruel meat and dairy industries. Many of the same brands are also thinking about sustainability and health, so it’s a win-win-win.

Check out some of the terrific vegan food and beauty products that we discovered at this year’s event:

Dairy-Free Yums

Daiya Cheese Sticks

These sticks are unlike anything that you’ve ever had. They’re a must-have in any respectable lunch bag.

Daiya Ice Cream Bars

A picture is worth a thousand words in this case:

Field Roast’s new dressings come in Caesar, Ranch, and Thousand Island flavors. Use them on salads or burgers or as a dip.

Beauty Brands

ACURE ORGANICS

ACURE—one of our favorite 100 percent vegan companies—has a new biocellulose mask that’s definitely worth a try.

So many items to try, so little time at the expo. From facial masks to hydrating mists, we love that Pacifica’s products are 100 percent vegan and available at both Target and Ulta stores.

Of course, these are just a few of the amazing vegan products coming to store shelves near you. Keep an eye out for them, and remember: None of these delicious options would be available if compassionate consumers didn’t keep asking for them.
