    Vegan Food Tech Company Disrupts CES with World-Changing Technology

    Armored Fresh showcases ‘Almond Milk American Slices,’ the latest in innovative plant-based cheese

    Global Food Tech company Armored Fresh is participating in the world’s largest consumer electronics and IT exhibition, CES 2023 in Las Vegas, USA, introducing its new developed product, ‘Almond Milk American Slices.’ Armored Fresh, which was selected as an up-and-coming business at last year’s CES convention, has created a world-changing technology that combines innovative science with culinary arts to revolutionize the industry and improve on the unnatural texture and taste challenging other vegan cheeses.

    Armored Fresh launches their ‘Almond Milk American Slices’ in the ‘Food Tech’ section at CES 2023 from January 5th to 8th. The company drew attention with their innovative plant-based cheese cubes at the last CES in 2022 and has proven their competitiveness on the vegan stage after raising $23 million in Series Pre-B funding. Armored Fresh recently made their U.S. debut launching plant-based cheese cubes made using a one-of-a-kind precision formulation of plant based lactic acid + plant-based milk.

    The plant-based American slices features a soft and chewy texture and high-quality flavor. Prioritizing taste and texture, Armored Fresh developed a tasty almond milk cheese with melting properties that mimic its dairy counterparts, improving on the unnatural texture that challenges other plant-based cheese companies. While melting properties has long been considered technically difficult to implement in the vegan industry, Armored Fresh has developed a process that allows for their American Slices to have the perfect melting properties.

    “It is a great pleasure to participate in CES once again this year. This year we will have the opportunity to show the world our very own Armored Fresh sliced cheese. Knowing that there’s a big demand for such alternative dairy products, we’re pleased to offer this superior zero dairy cheese,” says Rudy Yoo, Founder and CEO of Armored Fresh. “With big plans to expand into nationwide markets and European market opportunities, Armored Fresh is pleased to announce our next step into this journey of innovation. Be on the lookout for Armored Fresh cheese in your local store and shop.”

    You can find Armored Fresh’s booth (Booth #: CP-24) on the TECH EAST side of the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) exhibition hall. The company is giving out out samples of grilled cheese to show off the competitiveness of their new product. Armored Fresh has plans to expand their lineup of flavors to include Cheddar, Pepper Jack, and Monterey Jack. Armored Fresh products will be available for purchase nationwide January 2023.

    New year, new start. A new skincare routine that brings your skin to the next level. Craft a Fresh Start skincare set from Pili Ani helps you to set up this new skincare routine that you will thank yourself everyday!
    Nowadays, sleep is a luxury. But who says it has to be expensive? With Pili Ani Night Essentials Set – Craft Sweet Dreams, you can give the gift of a good night’s sleep to family and friends in the beginning of the new year.
    Beloved in the Philippines and internationally, both of these sets contain the brand’s hero ingredient, elemi oil, which is known for its ability to detoxify skin. The oil, which is derived from the sap of the bark of Philippines-native pili trees, is scientifically proven to help stimulate circulation, flush out harmful toxins and impurities and help to prevent breakouts, irregular pigmentation, and dull skin.
    “In the Philippines, Elemi oil is known as affordable frankincense due to its firming and antibacterial properties,” said Rosalina Tan, Co-Founder. “As the first beauty brand in the world to use elemi oil in our products, we’re excited to continue bringing the ingredient, which is our country’s best kept secret, to the rest of the world with the launch of this skincare in the United States.”

    Pili Ani Fresh Face Set

    • Gentle Facial Cleanser 20ml
    • Purifying Toner 20ml
    • Moisturizing Tinted Pili Lip Butter 3.5g
    The plant-based, Gentle Facial Cleanser, cleans and moisturizes complexions and keeps skin hydrated. It is gentle and mild on the skin due to its low pH level, which is between 5.0 – 6.0. The Purifying Toner leaves complexions purified without a dry feeling, as it is primarily composed of aloe vera, in addition to elemi oil to help refine the skin’s texture and balance its natural oils.
    Both the Gentle Facial Cleanser and the Purifying Toner are 100% natural, dermatologist-tested and formulated using hypoallergenic ingredients. Tone without the sting using Pili Ani plant-based, aloe vera-infused Toner. Formulated with Elemi Oil, it’s naturally antibacterial and skin-balancing, making sure your skin is clean and fresh while retaining its moisture barrier. This is the second step to your fuss-free skin prep, starting with our Gentle Facial Cleanser.
    Lips are better with butter. Infused with Elemi Oil and made with Pili Ani proprietary Pili Butter formula, this clear Lip Butter in Mint will give you more moisturized lips in just 3 days. Plus points: It doesn’t contain menthol, so it’s perfect for sensitive lips!

    Pili Ani Night Essentials Set

    • Self-care Night Recovery Oil 15ml
    • Moisturizing Pili Lip Butter 3.5g in Mint
    • Essential Oil Blends 6ml in Sweet Dreams

    Self-care Night Recovery Oil (SCNRO) contains the highest concentration of antioxidant-rich and ultra-hydrating Pili Oil in the entire Pili Ani skincare line. This PM face oil with soothing botanicals minimizes breakouts and neutralizes redness while brightening and moisturizing the skin. Wake up to a calm, dewy, rejuvenated complexion. In the daytime, replace SCNRO with our Ageless Concentrate as your AM face oil.

    Lips are better with butter. Infused with Elemi Oil and made with proprietary Pili Butter formula, this clear Lip Butter in Mint will give you more moisturized lips in just 3 days. Plus points: It doesn’t contain menthol, so it’s perfect for sensitive lips!
