Congratulations on the new Tropeaka Beauty Custard range! Can you tell us the biggest motivation behind the new products?
Thanks, we’re super excited about this one! Our motivation came from an interesting place. With an active database in the hundreds of thousands, we have the unique opportunity to cater towards what our passionate customer base wants. Through this insight, we’ve found that our most requested product has been collagen, but with so many collagen options on the market, we didn’t want to create another product that customers can get elsewhere.
Custards have been trending in the health and wellness space for the last 18 months; however, no one had looked towards creating a custard that was focused on beauty, which includes marine collagen. We wanted to create an incredibly delicious, convenient dessert-style custard that anyone could eat at any time of the day for a filling, nutritious and skin-enhancing solution! We’ve done that, it’s the world’s first beauty custard, and we think it’s our best product yet!
What was your product development process like?
As we are using certified organic pea protein as one of the foundational ingredients, we had to ensure that there was no grittiness that came through. My co-founder Blake worked closely with our manufacturing partners to produce a product that is smooth, creamy, delicious and worthy of dessert. This took many trials, taste-testing, and of course, lots of time spent in R&D, but we got there!
We have a reputation for bringing products to market that taste great, and we wanted to make sure that legacy continued. It was a slow process that went on for months, but we found what worked and our two flavours, Smooth & Creamy Banana and Salted Caramel, taste perfect!
What benefits are contained in your sustainably sourced marine collagen peptides?
We’ve used the world’s best marine collagen peptides! They are sustainably sourced from cod skin that would have otherwise been discarded, while also being wild caught in the crystal clear waters of the North Atlantic ocean.
Due to our collagen peptides’ smaller particle size, they are absorbed 1.5x more efficiently than traditional collagen sources from bovine and porcine. Our Beauty Custard contributes to the maintenance of normal skin hydration, elasticity & integrity and supports healthy skin and hair.
What is your favourite way to enjoy Beauty Custard?
What makes this product so good is it’s great just on its own. Mix it with a small amount of cold plant-based milk or cold water, and it’s ready to eat in less than 1 minute. That’s my favourite way; however, some people also like to mix it with milk/water and then heat it to have a hot custard.
