| | | | | July Happenings | | | | | Celebrating Beauty in Its Many Forms at Newtopia Now
Some beauty is undeniable, like the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Some is tangible—like the light and airy lavender waft of your new favorite natural skin care product or perfectly peach hue of a mineral cheek rouge. And some—much, in fact—is indescribable like the wisdom and transformation that comes with believing that your work is making the world a more beautiful place.
At Newtopia Now this year, we plan to celebrate all these types of beauty throughout the event and this lovely city of ours. And there is no better place for it to all come together than in our Glow Neighborhood, a vibrant hub of innovation and inspiration that is shaping the beauty and wellness industry.
One of the many beautiful things about Glow is that, while you are destined to find your next best-selling beauty brand or that beauty buyer you've been desperately trying to snag a meeting with, you'll leave with a greater understanding of what beauty is all about in today's retail and CPG market.
The definition of beauty and aging is, in fact, expanding. You can see it in the aisles of Ulta, Sephora and Target, or at natural retailers. The lines between beauty and wellness, the physical and the psychological, the topical and ingestible are blurring, making for a much more exciting category that is rife with innovation that will be featured throughout our three neighborhoods, and in particular Glow.
The natural and organic personal care category is certainly booming—outpacing growth of the overall CPG industry at 6.7% compared to 5.7% for the industry overall. Retailers and investors are flocking to the category, recognizing both its transformation and strong foundation.
To bring this evolution to life, we wanted this destination to be both about the products driving this growth (and glorious products there will be!), as well as about the people, the ideas and the experiences that will make you look and feel your very best: Think, an on-floor salon featuring Newtopia Now brands, a headshot activation, a lounge for networking with fellow wellness aficionados and of course, a stage to highlight the thought leaders and game-changing concepts that will define the category into the future.
This is also why we couldn't be more excited for our Glow Keynote, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, board-certified physician, New York Times bestselling author and the founder of the Muscle-Centric Medicine® movement. While Dr. Lyon has become synonymous with the protein movement, what she'll share on the Glow stage far transcends the trends and tactics that support physical strength. Her groundbreaking perspectives on resilience will change how entrepreneurs and business leaders think about optimization.
Plus, we can't wait to feature the buyers and investors that are putting their money where their mouths are and supporting both wellness and the women driving this movement.
"If we can set the stage for an ethos of what it really means to collectively be strong, then we move the needle together," Dr. Lyon told us in a recent discussion about Newtopia Now. "Life is not an individual experience, it is a collective path of growth, and we should have products that call people to a higher standard. How we get that is that we execute to a higher standard ourselves."
The natural and organic personal care category is certainly booming—outpacing growth of the overall CPG industry at 6.7% compared to 5.7% for the industry overall. Retailers and investors are flocking to the category, recognizing both its transformation and strong foundation. We discussed the trends and opportunities during our recent Opportunities in Conscious Beauty webinar.
Now, is there anything more beautiful than elevating our collective strength—and consciousness—to support people and planet? Join us at Newtopia Now to be part of this transformative experience.
