Dive into beauty and wellness at Natural Products Expo West

Natural Products Expo West will bring together brands, retailers and innovators, all with a common goal—to help consumers feel their best. Today's natural products consumers are more educated on ingredient efficacy and prioritizing sustainability. They are also more engaged with the brands they support, mainly thanks to social media. 

Last year, director of integrated solutions at DAAP, a SPINS subsidiary, Alice Mintz predicted at The State of Natural Beauty that "Natural will transform the beauty industry at a faster rate than we experienced with food and beverage." The beauty and wellness landscape has progressed rapidly over the past year from a significant push by the natural and organic consumer.
