One of the highpoints of my summer is coming up—the third annual Cosmoprof North America Discover Green exhibit and the second annual CPNA Discover Green Leaf—a new section for clean green brands interested in distributing to upscale spas. As the co-curator of these two platforms since their inception, it has been my absolute pleasure to help bring together new beauty brands and leading buyers in the green space for the best and most-awarded trade show in the Americas. It’s a joy to connect savvy spa executives and leading clean retail spaces with beautiful clean brands.
This year’s distinguished buyers include executives from these leading spas and retail shops:
•Auberge Resorts Collection
•Destination Hotels & Resorts
•Follain
•Marriott International
•Milk & Honey Spas
•Miraval
•Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy
•The Detox Market
•Shangri-La International Hotel Management Co.
•Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company
At this year’s Discover Green Leaf, the brands listed below will be showcasing their lines and new launches. Shares Discover Green Leaf newcomer, Valeria Cole, Founder and CEO of Teadora, “Cosmoprof Discover Green Leaf is the perfect platform for a small independent brand like Teadora to unveil our newest product to press, influencers, and customers. It creates a small and intimate venue within the much larger show, and it gives us the opportunity to speak to likeminded people on a one-to-one basis.” Teadora will be launching a Shimmering Superfruit Oil, as well as a new sub-brand, RAW by Teadora.
“Our clean beauty commitment makes this portion of Cosmoprof a perfect match and will help us to reach buyers and spa directors that are looking for a healthy and effective alternative.”—Monika Garcia
Another newcomer to Discover Green Leaf is the USDA Certified Organic and Certified B-Corp skincare company, Blue Beautifly, a brand that has had great success exhibiting initially with Discover Green. Shares Vida Karamooz, CEO, “We chose Discover Green because we believed it was aligned with our company’s principles of sustainability, authenticity, and quality. Having exhibited in Discover Green since inception, we can say with confidence that our initial belief has proven to be true.
“We evaluate effectiveness of each trade show carefully by maintaining a meticulous record of sales stages for each prospect. Based on our records, Discover Green has been one of the top-performing events for us to date.” Karamooz says that she is most looking forward to deepening relationships with existing accounts, enticing new buyers, and renewing friendships with exhibitors from past years.
Monika Garcia, Education Coordinator and Business Development Associate for LondonTown, and another first-time Discover Green Leaf exhibitor, is also looking forward to reaching likeminded buyers and spa directors. “We are so excited to be a part of Discover Green Leaf this year,” she says. “Our clean beauty commitment makes this portion of Cosmoprof a perfect match and will help us to reach buyers and spa directors that are looking for a healthy and effective alternative.” Launching at CPNA Discover Green Leaf this year: Gel Genius Base Coat, the Back with a Vengeance color collection, and a line of UV gels.
