ABOUT THE AWARDS
Strictly sponsor and ad-free, the Beauty Shortlist Awards were launched in 2012 by natural beauty and wellness journalist Fiona Klonarides to spotlight the most outstanding ethical brands within the natural & organic beauty and health space.
100% independent, these awards are held in early March every year (Wednesday 2 March for 2022) and entries are judged only by experts in their respective fields, in the UK, USA and Australia.
Importantly, these awards provide a level playing field for global green names and smaller artisan brands alike.
The Beauty Shortlist has no allegiance/s to any brand/s whatsoever, making these awards a fresh, much-trusted, eclectic and inclusive guide to the very best products and brands in the natural beauty and health sectors.
The first ever Beauty Shortlist Eco Lifestyle Awards launched in 2021 – these awards will open for entries on 1 April 2022 (alongside the Mama & Baby Awards) and recognise the companies and products forging the way with a big focus on better ecological practices.
The Beauty Shortlist Eco Lifestyle Awards recognise excellence and environmental activism and include: B Corp, Carbon Neutral, Reforestation/Plant-A-Tree, Best Give-Back Brand, Plastic-Free, Zero Waste, Home Compostable, Ocean Conservation categories and more.
