In the lab:
16 brands launching in 2024
Over the past 12 months, we've seen a trend in revamped versions of our childhood favorites enter the scene, such as Rotten's better-for-you take on gummy worms, Flings' toaster pastries, and chef-crafted candy bars from Hey Champ. Meanwhile, brands designed to give you more energy took on new formats including orange juice powered by yerba-mate and dissolvable caffeine strips.
We're watching a slew of brands designed to empower consumers to take control of their physical and mental well-being. Duyu is taking on thyroid health which affects more than 12% of the US population and Rompy is launching a line of community-driven sexual wellness products for young adults. LookUp wants you to put down your phone and top Thingtester, Reese De Luca's Skincare for Weirdos says it's time to embrace who you are.
We'll be following these brands closely, so be sure to sign up for our newsletter to stay in the loop on their launches. And if you know of any pre-launch brands we should have on our radar, submit them to the directory.
