25 Top Consumer Packaged Goods to Add to Your List

May 3, 2023

It’s time to level up those cosmetics in your vanity and replace the junk food in your kitchen pantry with delicious options made from ingredients we can actually pronounce. Consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands are hitting the market to offer cleaner, healthier and more unique products than ever before. Not only that, but they are delivering on what consumers say they want most – sustainability. According to a report, Gen Z consumers are more likely to buy sustainable, high-quality products, and approximately 73% of Gen Z consumers are willing to pay up to 10% more for products that align with their all-natural standards. 

Bolt PR is proud to put the spotlight on some of these brands that are devoted to providing only the highest quality products with heart and health at the core. You may want to have your shopping list handy because you won’t want to leave this blog without adding these top consumer packaged goods to your cart.

Founder and skincare expert Marcia Kilgore was tired of seeing beauty products retail for around 10X what they actually cost to make, so she created a way for people to get their fair share of the “beauty pie.” From best-selling skincare and makeup products to fragrances and supplements, there’s something for everyone at Beauty Pie.
