Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, Ella Bleu Travolta, Myles O’Neal (joined by siblings Shareef, Me’Arah, Shaqir and Amirah) and Sailor Brinkley Cook are the newest faces of Silk Nextmilk, repping plant-based ‘staches on screen, across social media and on U.S. billboards in New YorkLos Angeles and Las Vegas to show how delicious and fun plant-based can be.

From creating unique recipes in the kitchen to making new music, ruling the fashion world and DJing fresh tunes, Peltz Beckham, Travolta, the O’Neal family and Brinkley Cook have been trendsetters from the start—and now with help from the industry’s very own plant-based pioneer, Silk, they’re adding a plant-based twist. These next-generation stars are carving their own legacies with the Silk Nextmilk campaign and dishing on how they enjoy plant-based products in their own lives.

“I love cooking and trying new recipes with my wife,” said Peltz Beckham. “It’s exciting to have an option like Silk Nextmilk when we are doing a plant-based meal.”

Up and coming actress and singer Ella Bleu Travolta takes pride in her plant-based diet, which she states helps her feel her best. “Silk Nextmilk is here for the next generation of milk drinkers, and as a proud vegan and Silk fanatic, I’m thrilled to be one of the first faces repping Silk with a plant-based ‘stache,” said Ella. “I’m a baking enthusiast, so if I’m not drinking a glass of Silk Nextmilk, I’m adding it to a batch of my homemade plant-based banana bread.”

It’s even become a family affair with the O’Neal siblings, who have opted for plant-based beverages for years. “Family is extremely important to me; I’m grateful to have my siblings by my side as we define our own plant-based ‘stache legacy with Silk Nextmilk,” said up-and-coming DJ Myles O’Neal. “Adding more plant-based options into my routine helps keep things fresh, and I enjoy Silk Nextmilk as a base for my morning protein shakes without lactose.”

“I grew up in a plant-based household, so it’s extra important for me to reach for great-tasting products in my diet,” said Sailor Brinkley Cook. “I have a real sweet tooth and I love dunking my favorite vegan cookies in Silk Nextmilk.”

“With help from the faces of the next generation, we’re showing just how easy it is to reach for and enjoy plant-based beverages like Silk Nextmilk,” said Olivia Sanchez, Vice President of Marketing, Plant-Based Beverages for Danone North America. “As a leader in the plant-based category, we recognize that the next generation is interested in incorporating more plant-based options into their lifestyles. Silk Nextmilk is a better milk2, and with a taste and texture you love. We know dairy lovers and plant-based enthusiasts will see they’re not compromising any beloved milk moments, including dunking their favorite cookie into a glass of Nextmilk.”

Known for their cruelty-free subscription boxes, Kinder Beauty Box and KND by Kinder Beauty, the brand teamed up with one of the leading USA-based beauty formulators and manufacturers in the world to develop the cleanest, most effective serums that are accessible to all.

“We are so excited to introduce this new product line to the Kinder Beauty brand. Cruelty-free beauty should be available to everyone and we’re really glad to be playing a part in making quality products with clean ingredients accessible to everyone.” – Daniella Monet, Co-Founder of Kinder Beauty

Kinder Beauty is disrupting the clean skincare industry with luxury, science-backed formulations that include Vitamin C, Bakuchiol, and Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide at a fraction of the price point of competitors. Designed to address common skincare concerns, Hello Sunshine, 15% Vitamin C serum, brightens uneven skin tones, invigorates the skin’s natural collagen production, and protects skin against environmental aggressors like harsh UV rays and air pollution. Be Kind, Rewind 1% Bakuchiol serum, provides a natural, gentler alternative to retinol and smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while giving collagen and elastin production a much-needed boost by promoting cellular turnover.

Together, the trio is the perfect skincare starter kit for everyday use.

“Since launching Kinder Beauty in 2019, probably the question I’ve been asked the most by customers is: ‘When are you going to launch your own products?’ I’ve always said we would when the time is right—when we were able to launch the best possible products at prices that are kinder to your wallet. That time is now and I can’t wait for our customers to experience these serums, which we’ve put our heart and soul into developing.” Andrew Bernstein, Co-Founder & CEO of Kinder Beauty
