20 Brands To Help Keep You Happy, Healthy And/Or Looking Great In The Fall 2020 Season
With the 2020 holiday season almost here, the colder months of 2020 are here and in full effect. This means that many of us need to moisturize more and also take some extra steps to look and feel better overall. In turn, below are 20 recommendations for brands with new products on the market which can help make your fall seasonal experiences more fun, comfortable and/or health-oriented.
Suu Kuu was started in 2018 by West Michigan herbalist and student of Anthroposophy, Erika Hanson. Ms. Hanson has been connected to and involved with plants for over 30 years, integrated deeply into her life as plant allies, or as beautiful inspiration and sources of joy, or as plant-based whole food, or plant medicines. Suu Kuu makes high vibrational formulas to maximize vitality, featuring freshly dried and extracted, organic tonic and adaptogenic herbs. The hemp extract featured in many of our products can promote well being, both physically and mentally, and can work with the other ingredients to expand their potential. In turn, in all of its multi-dimensional formulas, the brand focuses on high bio-availability.
Inspired by traditional Icelandic restorative mineral tonics, Suu Kuu’s hemp tonics offer a modern twist. Joining the brand’s lineup of tinctures, topicals and skincare products, its hemp tonics are an accessible and refreshing way to sip on powerful plants and essential minerals on-the-go. The flavors include Grapefruit Nettle Tonic (a fruity, organic blend that targets your nervous system for when you are feeling on-edge), Magnesium Mint Tonic (like a natural cream soda with full relaxation benefits) and Celery Lime Tonic. All Suu Kuu tonics are made with pure plant extracts and broad spectrum CBD with zero THC guaranteed. They are available online or via select wellness retailers and start at $6.
Growing up, Kindroot founder Alisa Pospekhova had respiratory issues always had boring lozenges loaded with sugar and irritants by her side. After a few work travel mishaps with messy adaptogenic powders — and after one too many crackly cough drops — it clicked. Pospekhova became an herbalist apprentice and launched the brand late last year. She worked with a master herbalist on the formulation which was blended by a Candy Hall of Fame scientist. This product combines nurturing adaptogenic herbs and sensory flavors that are based on principles of aromatherapy in a silky smooth texture for a full experience. Kindroot Adaptogems are reportedly the first line of lozenges to include adaptogens as an ingredient.
SleepScore Labs is reportedly the leading sleep science company that helps connect consumers to science-backed sleep resources that are customized to their needs. The SleepScore App tracks and measures a user’s breathing rate and body movement with sonar technology to deliver an in-depth analysis of every stage of sleep achieved that night. The inaudible waves bounce from the user’s smartphone off the user’s body to accurately assess and provide the user’s SleepScore. The SleepScore then shares insight into a user’s sleep environment and based on sleep data, users receive personalized advice and recommendations for improving sleep and discovering products — from the SleepStore — that have been proven to help others sleep better.
Meanwhile, SleepScore Max reportedly provides the most accurate sleep tracking next to clinical sleep measures. Without requiring you to wear a device or place anything on your bed, the SleepScore Max sensor can be placed on your bedside table. The sensor measures the quality and quantity of your sleep. Every morning, the companion app allows you to view your quality scores, personalized insights, and actionable advice. It features SleepScore by ResMed technology built on 12 years of research with accuracy validated in over 12 published studies, with improved sleep by an average of 45 minutes enjoyed by many users.
Almost a decade ago, Claire Molyneaux found herself navigating the transition from conventional beauty products to clean products. Years of allergies, annoyed skin and auto-immune disorder had opened her eyes to what she was putting on my ski and she was horrified. What started as a personal mission to switch to healthier, safer beauty products became a lifestyle and desire to create awareness.
The Clean Beauty Box is a “love letter” to the importance of a healthy self-care ritual. With a career history as a buyer and merchandiser, design and aesthetic are a natural influence in the creation of each box by Molyneaux. Each clean and cruelty-free product is carefully chosen with intent to create a meaningful experience with every luxe detail. In turn, Molyneaux is a curator within the clean beauty movement, making it fun and easy to enjoy beauty’s latest and greatest.

Tone It Up co-founder Karena Dawn recently teamed up with the creators of Milk Muscle to promote ALTWELL, a newly-launched CBD-Infused CPG line.

As a refresher to long-time readers of The Hype, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dawn about ALTWELL earlier this year.
Karenda Dawn collaboration aside, ALTWELL is headquartered in Benicia, California. Established in 2018, the brand is rooted in health wellness with over 50 years of combined experience. Founded by the Pickett family, the company leverages its sport nutrition heritage in partnership with its in-house R&D team to create best-in-class CBD products consumers can trust both in quality and taste.

With body butters, mists, lip care, bath bombs, loofah soaps, scrubs, aromatherapy and massage oils — and even all-natural, organic goodies for your furry friends — Country Bathhouse is a new one-stop destination for all of your bath and body care products. Based out of Minnesota, Country Bathhouse was born out of a desire to find bath products with less chemicals and unnecessarily-harsh ingredients. Husband and wife power duo Brianna Marie and Josh Farrell did not want to expose their 3 children to products that were not safe for their skin, or their tubs and towels for that matter. They started a modest quest to create quality products with affordability in mind, and now 4 years later, they carry over 300 outrageously cool and delightful products for every nook and cranny that needs some cleaning.
For starters, try the brand’s Candy Corn Bath Bomb, as priced at $6. Its bath bombs are made with the same non-staining organic coloring and all hypoallergenic ingredients as its Bubble Rubbles, but with more fizz and fewer bubbles. This Candy Corn offering pops with the scents of vanilla, sweet cream, and orange.
One of the football’s top quarterbacks ever, Brett Favre was the first NFL quarterback to pass for 500 touchdowns, throw for 70,000 yards, attempt 10,000 passes, and complete 6,000 passes. Demonstrating his stamina and consistency, Favre made an NFL-record 297 consecutive starts in the regular season, and 321 starts including the playoffs. His 11 Pro Bowl invitations is the third most among quarterbacks in NFL history, and he is still 1 of only 6 quarterbacks to have won the Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player Award the NFL Super Bowl game in the same season.
But with all those years of on-air play and travel under his belt, one can only imagine the wear and tear which the body of Brett Favre has faced. Fortunately in 2020, Favre was introduced to Green Eagle CBD products and quickly became an ambassador for the brand’s natural line of products. In turn, Green Eagle is notably the only line of CBD products that Favre uses and endorses. We spoke about this last month for The Hype</em>.

For better or for worse, we have all gotten used to wearing a mask everywhere we go. No matter how stylish they are, we cannot escape the inevitability of our glasses or sunglasses fogging up from our hot breath pushing out from the top of the mask, which inevitably leading to “mask blindness.”

Per the website of the team behind Som Sleep, they created Som Sleep to solve their own sleep problems, from trouble falling asleep to waking up during the night.

And in the words of Major League Baseball strength coach Brandon McDaniel: “With Som, [athletes] are getting to the root of their energy deficiencies by charging up the ultimate fueling system, their sleep.” The drink is sold in both 12-pack and 24-pack varieties, both in regular and sugar-free varieties.

Flora Growth has created a division called Flora Beauty, where they have created 2 different moisturizers, both containing CBD oil. How do you choose a beauty product that has CBD oil in it, you ask? Is there a certain percentage you should look for? Should all moisturizers have CBD oil in them?
Well, CBD has 2 declared attributes in skincare. First, its antioxidant capacity helps protect the skin from external agents and captures free radicals in the skin. These attributes notably eliminate wrinkles. The second is emollients, which help keep the skin moist, conditioned, and makes the skin look and feel smooth. Thus, with its Mind Naturals offerings, Flora Beauty is working on its mission to both educate on and provide the many benefits of CBD to the masses.
