Calling all vegan chicken lovers! BrewDog has teamed up with plant-based chicken brand TiNDLE to revamp its vegan menu.

The new partnership comes as TiNDLE makes its debut in the UK with its popular plant-based range.

The BrewDog X TiNDLE collab will see the independent brewerys iconic Clucky This Time vegan chicken burger now feature TiNDLEs crispy chicken patty.

Additionally, diners can tuck into the Carolina Chicken Burger consisting of a TiNDLE crispy chicken patty loaded with tomato, red onion & Carolina mustard BBQ sauce. YUM!

For those looking for a healthier option, be sure to order the new Protein Power bowl topped with TiNDLE pieces.

In a statement, Chad Crooks, BrewDogs Director of Food, said: At BrewDog, we believe in the alternative way of doing things.

TiNDLE focus on quality, flavour and sustainability every bit as much as BrewDog.

Crooks added: Having more than half of our options suitable for vegetarians and meat-eaters who choose to eat plant-based is incredibly important to us. Our new UK menu has something for everyone.

You can find the new BrewDog X TiNDLE burgers at selected BrewDog chains across the country.

From the Singaporean co-operative Next Gen Foods, TiNDLE promises to showcase ridiculously good chicken, made from plants.

The vegan brand has made its debut in the UK following huge success in countries around the world, including the US, Hong Kong, and Dubai.

TiNDLE has reimagined the flavours of chicken by creating a plant-based fat alternative that theyve called Lipi.

Lipi is what gives TiNDLEs vegan chicken products its unique and authentic taste and texture.

Products include vegan burgers, chicken breast, wellingtons, plus much more!

With 17g of protein per serving, TiNDLE is made from a combination of Soy, Wheat, and of course, Lipi.

Belgium is about to get its first-ever vegan fine-dining restaurant.

The country is known for its meat- and seafood-heavy cuisine. Take cannibale, for example. And no, despite the name, this traditional dish has nothing to do with eating humans. (Its actually a twist on steak tartare.)

Theres also anguilles au vert, which is a plate of eel, and carbonnades flamandes (a thick stew with beef). But Amaranth, which will open in Merelbeke this weekend, will be serving none of these dishes.

Instead, diners will find starters and entrees filled with fresh herbs, seasonal vegetables, tofu, and mushrooms. For example, one appetizer, developed by co-owner and chef Pieter-Jan Lint, is called Roots & Cheese and features carrot & ginger, vegan cheese, and bergamot.

Considering the menu, youd be surprised to learn that one of the owners, Carmen Duytschaever, comes from a family of butchers. But they told De Standaard that they were put off an omnivorous diet after realizing the amount of suffering that goes into making animal products.

I come from a family of butchers. Meat, potatoes, and some vegetables: that was what a regular meal looked like, Duytschaever said. But behind that piece of meat, there is also suffering.

They added: Even a slice of cheese conceals a sad story. While milk production requires a lot of water and is environmentally harmful, the cows also have to put up with a lot.

While Amaranth might be the first of its kind in Belgium, elsewhere in the world, the vegan fine-dining scene is growing.

Last year, Michelin star New York restaurant Eleven Madison Park announced it was going to reopen with a new meat- and seafood-free menu. The resulting waitlist for a table at the restaurant exceeded 15,000.

Also in 2021, Alexis Gauthier, a Michelin-starred French chef, decided to turn his London restaurant, Gauthier Soho, completely vegan. At the time of the announcement, he told Big Hospitality: There are no animal products in the restaurant whatsoever, not even in the chefs pocket. Im vegan myself; it would be unethical for me to profit from selling dead animals.

Belgium's First Vegan Fine-Dining Restaurant Is About To Open Its Doors - Plant Based News

In 2019, Zonk Burger started operating out of the back of a 1994 Ford box truck, peddling vegan burgers and fries.Their goal was to create a "veggie burger joint," inspired by the classic American burger stand. They gained impressive traction in Fort Worth and late last yearopened the doors of a small, albeit bright, brick-and-mortar location northeast of downtown.

With radiant pink stucco walls, rainbow-colored tiles, and a sign that reads Zonk Burger in bubbly red letters, this new Fort Worth eatery surely stands out from its surroundings in more ways than one.

On top of its outlandish design choices and quirky name, Zonk Burger is also the first fast-casual eatery in Fort Worth to serve strictly vegan fare. The menu ranges from the typical loaded fries to the signature Zonk Burger. Owner Erin Hahn uses the eclectic menu as a segue to introduce her vegan lifestyle to the city of Fort Worth.

The patio is dog friendly too.

For those seeking more familiar flavors, try the seitan wings, a plant-based alternative to the notorious American comfort food. Made of wheat gluten and tofu, Zonk Burgers wings are deep-fried and coated generously in your choice of dressing: Buffalo, barbecue or sweet and sour. With a spongy interior that rebounds to the bite, Zonk Burgers wings provide a pretty solid alternative to the real thing. Theyre served with vegan ranch and celery for some added authenticity.

Cowtown residents may find even more gratification in Zonk Burgers main menu. Their signature burger patty is millet-based and crumbles when bitten into, reminiscent of your usual vegetable-based patty.

The crowning jewel here may just be their house-made special sauce, a creamy mayo-like dressing made from boiled chickpeas. A drizzle between tangy pickles, crunchy lettuce and soft buns pulls the Zonk burger together perfectly; it may just be the ideal mix of textures and flavors.

Those searching for the uniquely American deep-fried experience may find themselves enticed by the fried tofu sandwich. It's a play on theKFC or Chick-fil-A classics albeitlighter and healthier.

They also offer an eclectic selection of beers and natural wines. On Sundays, they host brunch with fresh-squeezed orange juice andorganic pet nat prosecco with vegan biscuits and doughnuts.

Zonk Burgers, 2919 Race St. (Fort Worth) 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Thursday - Monday. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday

When a major American meat companyunveilsits first vegan product, it tends to turn heads. Hormel knownfor itsSPAM and as Americas No. 1 selling chili brand is currently ranked the sixth-largest meat producer in the country, but now, the massive company is launching a plant-based chili. Hormels plant-based chili will feature beans and proprietary soy-based meat, allowing all Americans to enjoy the pantry staple.

Pivoting to plant-based foods, Hormels team announced that it recognized the growing number of plant-based consumers in the United States. As more people begin to shop with theplanet in mind, Hormels plant-based chili provides a healthier and more environmentally-friendly option, representing a significant shift in the companys current meat-heavy selections.

"With the plant-based category growing at double the rate of food overall and the fact that roughly two-thirds of plant-curious consumers are eager for plant-based canned chili, we wanted to provide a convenient and delicious solution," Senior Brand Manager for Hormel Sarah Johnson said. "Hormel plant-based chili with beans, made with textured vegetable protein and soy-based crumble, delivers the taste, texture, and appearance our loyal consumers expect."

Hormels new plant-based chili is packed with 22 grams of protein per can, providing customers with all the nutrientsa classic cup of chili offers. The brand ensured that the new vegan chili is completely dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, and BPA-free. Customers can purchase the new plant-based chili on Amazon for approximately $2.07 to $2.60 per can. Soon, the can will be available in retailers nationwide.

With the third installment of the UNs climate report, meat companies are being held accountable more than ever. Meat production is estimated to be responsible for 57 percent of all food industry greenhouse gas emissions. Facing more pressure worldwide, Hormel is joining other major meat companies including Cargill and Tyson as they shift towards plant-based selections.

Plant-based meat production emits anywhere from 30 to 90 percent fewer greenhouse gases than conventional meat production. Some experts claim that a plant-based diet could help slash greenhouse gases by as much as 61 percent. Last year, Hormel revealed new sustainability goals that included reducing greenhouse emissions, improving water quality, and minimizing waste. With a plant-based approach, Hormels sustainability initiative is becoming visible to consumers.

Other than its famous canned chili, Hormels mostbeloved product is SPAM. Theiconic canned meat has become a part of Americana, but recently, plant-based companies have introduced sustainable alternatives to rival conventional SPAM. Hong Kong-based OmniFoods developed a plant-based pork product called OmniPork Luncheon. Teaming up with Pokeworks, the vegan spam musubi became available in Washington, California, and New York, as well as at select retailers nationwide.

During the Plant-Based World Conference and Expo, unMeat revealed a new SPAM alternative with its innovative luncheon meat. The Philippines-based brand provides a healthy, soy-based source of protein and fiber, served in a can just like the original. At the expo, the company enlisted Chef Nicole Ponseco of Jeepney to showcase the versatility and potential of the companys new meat alternatives.

When we launched unMEAT in the U.S. market earlier this year, we knew that we had to bring our absolute best to an already competitive landscape, Chief Operating Officer of Century Pacific Group Gregory Banzon said. Having someone like Chef Nicole Ponseca on our team differentiates us from other brands because of her unique creativity, business style, and her ability to relate to customers who enjoy cooking.

Fast-food restaurants have finally got the memo that their customer base isnt just coming through for a burger, fried chicken, or a beef taco. Many now have plant-based foods and are coming up with creative, delicious ways to get more greens on the menu. Here are the 6 best fast-food chains with plant-based options on the menu.

Does Hormel's New Vegan Chili Taste as Good as the Real Thing? - The Beet

Slather anything in vegan ranch dressing and even the vegetable-averse will happily gobble it up. Were conditioned as children to take our veggies with a quarter-cup of Hidden Valley, and while weve learned to ask for dressing on the side and expanded our options to include vinaigrettes and tahini-based sauces, salad dressing remains a crucial component of any leafy green dish. These condiments quite literally dress up a saladtransforming the bland into indulgent with a simple drizzle. Whether you toss it all together or methodically stick a fork into the dressing before each bite, a salad without dressing is downright sad. Here are seven vegan salad dressings to buy and to make to gussy up any bowl of greens.

Ashley Madden

Offering a citrusy kick without feeling spicy, this light vegan salad dressing provides just the right amount of zing to complement fresh vegetables, tofu, and chilled soba noodles. Not every day has to be a ranch day.Get the recipe

Traditional Caesar dressing includes pured anchovies and dairy to create an addictively good umami flavor profile. The combination of tahini, capers, nutritional yeast, and capers provides the same burst of flavor without the funky fish blend. All you need is a head of romaine, vegan croutons, and this simple dressing to toss together a crowd-pleasing vegan salad.Get the recipe

Sweet yet tangy, this creamy emulsion of sweet maple syrup and bold Dijon mustard pairs well with a variety of greens from peppery arugula to mild mixed greens. It also doubles as an excellent dipping sauce for vegan chicken nuggets or seared tempeh.Get the recipe

There are two fabulous applications for this herby vinaigrette. One is a salad made up of lettuce, red onion, cherry tomatoes, pepperoncini, olives, and shaved vegan parmesan cheese. The other is not a salad at all: pasta salad. When toothsome rotini or farfalle pasta sits in this flavorful dressing, pasta becomes even more appetizing. This dish is perfect for outdoor events or hot days.Get the recipe

French vinaigrette differentiates itself from its Italian cousin by way of its herbs and spices. The former requires less ingredients and tends to be a bit more versatile when it comes to salad pairings. We love using this on vegan Nicoise salads or even over a very simple bowl of hand-torn greens.Get the recipe

Those who believe you can never have too much dill need to try this recipe. Its thick, creamy, decadent, but not heavy thanks to the sneaky silken tofu and plenty of fresh herbs blended in. Generously drizzle this dressing over crisp, hearty greens or dip crudits to your stomachs content.Get the recipe

This standout vegan dressing is creamy, spicy, and slightly nuttytruly emblematic of an umami-based condiment. To tame down the heat, go lighter on the sriracha. Try it over a vegan poke bowl, cold soba noodle salad, or plant-based sushi.Get the recipe

Crossroads Kitchen

Stock up on all eight Follow Your Heart vegan salad dressings, and youll be set for any kind of salad you can dream up. The range includes classics such as plant-based honey mustard, Thousand Island, and Caesar in addition to novelty options like Creamy Garlic and Reduced-Fat Ranch. Pro tip: if youre a ranch-on-pizza kind of person, the Creamy Garlic is definitely something you should try.Find out more

Mother Raw

Looking for a clean salad dressing that wont add junk to your healthy bowl of veggies? All of Mother Raws products are made with plant-based ingredients that provide nutritionnot empty calories. Our favorites include Smokey Chipotle, Roasted Garlic Caesar, and Creamy Tahini. All of these double as dips in addition to dressings.Find out more

@Olivesfordinner/Instagram

Reach for a Daiya dressing if youre in the mood for something thick and creamy to toss with your leafies. Flavors include decadent Homestyle Ranch, Creamy Italian, Hony Mustard, Blue Cheeze, and Creamy Ceasar. These options arent light, but theyre perfect for enticing picky eaters to gobble up a few more greens.Find out more

Hidden Valley

The brand that hooked us all on the creamy blend of secret herbs and spices delivered through a mayo-esque emulsion now makes a vegan version identical to the original. Coined Plant Powered Ranch, the product quietly debuted in 2021, offering a one-for-one swap to its dairy- and egg-based predecessor. Hidden Valley loyalists rejoice.Find out more

Plant Junkie

Several brands carry the basics, but Plant Junkie is one of the few producing a vegan blue cheese salad dressing. This new item is thick, creamy, and just funky enough to remind us of the classic wedge salads we downed in our pre-vegan days. Pour it over quartered slices of crisp iceberg lettuce or let it double as a dip for spicy vegan chicken wings.Find out more

Plant Perfect

Green Goddess salad dressing is one of the outliers when it comes to condiments, but it certainly has its place. Plant Perfect offers a solid vegan option for all who worship this mythical flavor goddess, along with several other tasty products like tangy Cilantro Lime and spicy Chipotle Ranch.Find out more

13 Vegan Salad Dressings to Make You Crave Any Salad - VegNews

Legendary recording artist and social media star DJ Khaled is adding a plant-based chicken option to his menu at Another Wing, a chicken wing shop he launched last year. The new vegan chicken wings are made from a base of non-GMO soy by LikeMeata LiveKindly Collective brand. The LikeMeat wings will be covered in a choice of Another Wing sauces, none of which are currently vegan. However, a spokesperson for the brand told VegNews that a vegan sauce might be in the works.

This LikeWings collaboration is an incredible opportunity for people who dont eat meat to enjoy the incredible flavors of Another Wing. This collab combines the flavors of Another Wing with the plant power of LikeMeat, DJ Khaled said in a statement. Lets win more with LikeWings.

A play on his catchphrase another one, DJ Khaled launched Another Wing in November 2021 across over 150 locations and three continents at the same time on the REEF Kitchens platformthe largest operator of parking real estate and delivery restaurants in North America.

Starting today, LikeMeat wings will be available at Another Wings US locations for delivery through all major services. LikeMeats wings also recently launched in the retail sector and are available at 3,600 Walmart locations, along with other retailers such as Target, Sprouts, and Sams Club.

Another Wing

This years upcoming 4/20 celebration is all about cannabis, and DJ Khaled has just the thing to satisfy the munchies associated with the holiday. To promote the collaboration with LikeMeat, DJ Khaled is opening a pop-up dispensary in Miami. The Another Wing Dispensary will operate on April 20 from 3pm to 9pm in Miamis Wynwood neighborhood where LikeMeats wings will help guests satisfy their appetites with plant-based chicken.

Were flying high with this new partnership and are beyond excited for Another Wings fans to try these awesome LikeWings the next time the munchies strike, Michelle Collette, Head of Foodservice for LikeMeat, said in a statement. This is LikeMeats first flight into the ghost kitchen world, and were in it to wing it.

DJ Khaled is no stranger to vegan chicken and experimented with going plant-based back in 2016. Musical artists Beyonc and Jay-Z inspired DJ Khaled to take on a vegan challenge with the help of 22 Days Nutritiona meal delivery company co-founded by Beyonc and vegan entrepreneur Marco Borges. After completing the challenge, DJ Khaled followed a plant-based diet on and off, and updated his social media followers about his diet and exercise plan with the hashtag #veganalert.

In 2018, DJ Khaled was one of two openers during Beyonc and Jay-Zs On the Run II Tour. He brought the conversation about plant-based eating on stage at one show at the Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. Do we have any vegans in the house? he said on stage which elicited hoots and hollers from the 40,000-strong crowd. The performer then went on to promote the 22 Days meal plan that inspired him to try plant-based eating.

KFC

Another Wings addition of LikeMeats chicken wings is part of a larger growing trend of restaurants and companies getting into plant-based chicken. Last year, leading plant-based meat companies Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods both released vegan chicken products in retail. In the fast-food sector, Impossible Foods teamed up with Burger King to launch its Impossible Nuggets at select locations last October. The nuggets are also available at AMC theaters across 37 states and more than 150 restaurants nationwide.

As for Beyond Meat, the brand has been busy creating custom vegan chicken solutions for chains such as A&W, KFC, and Panda Express, while at the same time developing products in new categories such as Beyond Meat Jerkywhich it launched in partnership with PepsiCo at retailers nationwide last month.

Other players in the space include TiNDLE (a product made by Singapore-based Next Gen Foods which just welcomed culinary icon Andrew Zimmern as an advisor); Atlas Monroe (a Black woman-owned brand with an in-demand sandwich at vegan chain Copper Branch); and VFC (a United Kingdom-based brand thats coming stateside with the mission of taking chickens out of the food system).

DJ Khaled's New Meatless Chicken Wings Were Made To Satisfy the Munchies - VegNews

I wouldnt say Im the biggest fan of salads, although Im very much a Caesar and arugula salad kind of gal. But this vegan green goddess salad recipe from @bakedbymelissa is viral for a reason.

And, luckily, if you have a blender handy, its also pretty easy to make.

1 head cabbage, chopped, shredded or diced

1 large cucumber (or 3-4 baby cucumbers)

2-4 green onions or scallions

A handful chives ( cup)

For the dressing:

cup olive oil

cup lemon juice

2-3 cloves of garlic

1 small shallot

1 cup spinach

1 cup basil

cup nutritional yeast

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoon rice vinegar

nuts (pine nuts)

Thinly dice the cabbage and cucumber and add to a large salad mixing bowl. Slice the scallions and chives and add to the mix.

Depending on how thinly you chop the cabbage and cucumber, this dish can easily be a salad or a dip. Either way, it pairs well with blue corn tortilla chips (crumbled into the salad or dipped). But I recommend the dip.

Now youre ready to start on the dressing. Add olive oil, the juice of one large lemon (or cup), garlic and shallot to a blender. Then add spinach, basil, nutritional yeast, salt, rice vinegar and nuts of your choice (cashews, walnuts, pine nuts or a combination of the three).

Finally, if you have a smallish amount of leftover chives, add them to the dressing mixture. Blend until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Pour over the salad greens and toss until the dressing is equally distributed.

Top with a little fresh ground pepper, break out the tortilla chips, and youre in business.

The rest is here:

Versatile vegan green goddess salad is simple to make - The Spokesman Review

It seems that every week in vegan food news is more exciting than the last and this week is no exception. York Street Marketa supplier to airports, colleges, and corporations in 24 statesnow offers snack boxes filled with Field Roast pepperoni and Chao Creamery cheese cubes. Ice cream chain Baskin-Robbins is expanding its dairy-free ice cream selection with a brand new flavor. And gelatin-free gummies get their wings on German airline Eurowings. Read on for more.

York Street Market is a catering supplier to major airports, colleges, corporations, and sporting stadiums in 24 states in the Midwest and Northeast regions and it recently partnered with Greenleaf Foodsparent company of vegan brands Lightife, Field Roast, and Chao Creamery. This partnership has borne four exciting food items at York Street Market locations:

Greenleaf Foods

As the leading fresh food solutions company throughout the Northeast and Midwest, York Street Fresh Market is dedicated to meeting our customers changing tastes, which include an increased demand for accessible, great tasting plant-based options, Joe Lorenzo, President and CEO of Lorenzo Food Group and York Street Market, said in a statement. Were excited to be working with industry leader Greenleaf Foods, SPC as our first-ever plant-based partner to feature a variety of their delicious, protein-packed products as part of these new menu options.

In addition to pepperoni and cheese snack boxes and sandwiches, world travelers can look forward to even more vegan options in the friendly skies. This week, German supermarket chain Veganz partnered with European airline Eurowings (a part of Lufthansa) to get its vegan gummies aboard more than 70 flights. The gummies are made without gelatinan ingredient derived from collagen in animal bonesand come in five assorted flavors: strawberry, orange, black currant, apple, and lemon.

Veganz

Veganz has been operating in Germany as a pioneer vegan grocery brand since 2011 and is expanding its reach not only to the skies with Eurowings but to other areas where vegan food is in high demand (read: everywhere). Veganz also recently partnered with foodservice giant Aramark and German football club RB Leipzig whose stadium catering services have been selling Veganz products since the start of the current Bundesliga season.

Hodo Foods, a cult-favorite company based in Oakland, CA, is known best for its tofu productswhich can be found in stores and on the menu at Chipotle as the chains vegan protein option: Sofritas. Hodos been around for nearly two decades and in that time, has replaced approximately 3,000 tons of animal proteins each year.

Now, the brand is getting into the vegan egg market with its new All-Day Egg Scramble, which is made with a base of Hodos tofu and flavorings such as nutritional yeast and black salt (for that eggy flavor). Designed to be a convenient swap for eggs, the protein-packed scramble is heat-and-eat and can go atop toast, inside burritos, or at the center of the plate with a side of meatless bacon.

Hodo Foods

The All-Day Egg Scramble is a twist on a Hodo bestseller from our early days at farmers markets, reflecting the wholesome craveability and convenience of this plant-protein egg alternative, Hodo Founder and CEO Minh Tsai said in a statement. Hodos Egg Scramble tastes like eggs and is made of clean, whole plant-based ingredients: true to Hodos farmers market roots in deliciousness, health, and convenience.

Hodos new vegan egg scramble is now rolling out to 1,500 stores nationwide, including Whole Foods Market, with Sprouts Farmers Market and online grocery store GTFO, Its Vegan bringing it on in the coming months.

With Earth Day right around the corner, organic brand Forager Project is finding a new way to send the message that choosing plant-based foods is better for the planet. The brand is already dedicated to bringing awareness to the damaging effects of dairy production by offering vegan products such as yogurts, milks, cheese, and sour cream.

Forager Project

Now, Forager is putting the message Eat Organic Vegan Food & Help Save Our Planet on the foils of its best-selling cashew yogurt products found at more than 10,000 stores nationwide. Why use this prime packaging real estate to send a climate message instead of advertising? The company wants to do its part to fight the climate crisis and help you do yours by simply choosing to eat plant-based.

Baskin-Robbins is the worlds largest ice cream chain and up until a few years ago, its only vegan options were sorbet. Now, the ice cream giant is going all in on dairy-free. After two years in development, Baskin-Robbins launched its first two vegan flavors, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Chocolate Extreme, made from a base of coconut oil and almond butter in 2019. Last year, Baskin-Robbins became the first national ice cream chain to add oat milk ice cream to its lineup with the launch of its May flavor of the month: Non-Dairy Strawberry Streusel.

This week, Baskin-Robbins is embarking on a rebranding journey with a new logo, packaging, employee uniforms, and tagline Seize the Yaya message to encourage consumers to celebrate small moments of happiness. To give customers more reason to celebrate, Baskin-Robbins is launching a new vegan flavor: Non-Dairy Mint Chocochunk. Made with a coconut milk base, the flavor features sweet mint, thick chocolate chunks, and a gooey fudge swirl.

For more than 75 years, Baskin-Robbins has been the destination for celebrating the moments that matter most. Our new look and manifesto recognize the extraordinary role ice cream has played in our customers lives, along with our continued commitment to innovation and creating someones next favorite flavor, Jerid Grandinetti, Vice President of Marketing and Culinary at Baskin-Robbins, said in a statement. Small moments that spark joy often get taken for granted. Were encouraging people to pause and celebrate any moment that brings happiness with Baskin-Robbins.

New Baskin-Robbins, Airport Snack Boxes, and More Vegan Food News of the Week - VegNews

This article was created in partnership with Hey Bud Skincare. Editors hand-pick every product that we feature; when you purchase through links on our site, we earn an affiliate commission.

Anyone who's been within five feet of me recently has had the absolute pleasure of hearing me complain about my stress acne. About a month ago, I began an arduous move from Boston to New York City, and, having moved around frequently during my adult life, I knew exactly what that transition meant for my skin: Lots of stubborn blemishes on my cheeks, forehead, and chin that take ages to go away and result in hyperpigmentation. At first, I resigned myself to this inevitability, and when I received Hey Bud Skincare's Glow Up Bundle, I thought, "Why not? These products can't possibly make my skin any worse." Lo and behold, they did not make it worsethey made it unbelievably better.

Hey Bud is a vegan, organ, cruelty-free, and gluten-free brand whose products are based in hemp oil, which is derived from the cannabis sativa plant. The brand promises that its products help smooth aging skin and control oil production without stripping skin of its moisture. In short, hemp-based skincare is meant to be the ideal cure-all for combination skin like mine, because it seeks restore balance by moisturizing dry spots and curbing the excess sebum production that results in acne.

Filled with tentative hope, I started by trying the Daily Hemp Gel Cleanser. The lightweight formula definitely made my face feel clean and relieved of its greasiness, particularly after coming back from a workout, but I also didn't feel too dry in the way I sometimes do after using products heavy in salicylic acid. Similarly, the Hemp Moisturizer felt light and dried matte on my face, but also provided substantial moisture.

The next product in the bundleand the one I was most nervous about tryingwas the face oil. Being that I tend to break out when I'm stressed, I didn't want to add any more oil to my skin, but I also know that ultra-dry skin can worsen breakouts by causing skin to ramp up oil production. Plus, the spot treatment I'd been using on my zits was starting to make certain areas of my skin flake, so I needed a moisture boost fast.

The face oil was a perfect option. It's rich enough to feel luxurious and heavily moisturizing, as intended, but it also doesn't make me look shiny or leave residue on my pillow when I go to bed. Personally, I like it best for use at night, as a follow-up to the thick Hemp Clay Mask.

Speaking of the mask, it is very much a clay mask in that it's thick, creamy, and oil-reducing. I recommend ensuring that your face is nice and moisturized before using the mask, or your skin will sting, but when your face (or back, or chest, or anywhere) is feeling particularly oily, this mask is an excellent option. I felt like I was giving my skin a fresh, clean new start after wiping it off. The mask also comes with a cute little brush so that I don't have to poke at my face with my fingers when I apply the formula once a week.

After using these products for about two weeks, I've noticed a huge difference in my skin. This was the only part of my skincare routine that I changed, so I can say with confidence that these products are responsible for the intense relief I feel now and for the significant decrease in the amount of concealer I have to put on in the mornings. Now that Hey Bud has rid me of my acne, I just need them to market a product that makes moving less stressful, but I've yet to hear back from the brand on that.

Below, check out a few more Hey Bud products that'll have me moving into my new crib with confidence.

This headband is such a cute way to keep the baby hairs out of your face while you're treating yourself to a facial.

This serum promises to keep sebum production under control, making it perfect for those with oily or acne-prone skin.

This firming rolling is always so cool to the touch and is such a refreshing, luxurious way to start the day.

This serum is perfect for those looking to combat signs of aging and revive tired skin.

Dolma Vegan Fragrances of the UK is one of the oldest 100% vegan and cruelty-free makers of perfumes and aftershaves and has been operational since 1982 as one of the very first vegan perfumes on the market.

Theres no reason why customers cant have a fragrance that both aligns with their values

Founder Jim Payne was a vegan, Buddhist and chemist who saw the gap in the perfume market and started experimenting with essential oils. He sold the company in 2015 to the current owners who updated the line and added four new womens fragrances last year.

Dolma fragrances do not contain parabens, palm oil or phthalates. The companys ethics focus on honesty and transparency regarding the ingredients in its womens perfumes and mens aftershave and the company also takes part in several sustainability initiatives such as planting a tree for each purchase and using 100% recyclable materials in its products and packaging.

General Manager Sharon Beecham says: When we took over Dolma, we decided to reformulate and update some of the lines and create four new womens fragrances that could compete with the name brands people know and love. Theres no reason why customers cant have a fragrance that both aligns with their values and is something they love to wear every day. Our customers feel good about their purchase and we are thrilled we can provide high quality, sustainable fragrances.

All of our own-brand cosmetic and personal care products are approved under the Cruelty-Free International Leaping Bunny programme, the internationally recognisable gold standard for cruelty-free products. All of our ingredients are sustainable and we try to do our part to lessen the impact of the planet with recyclable materials, adds Beecham.
