MEET OUR 2025 AWARDS JUDGING PANEL

We’re delighted to introduce the full international judging panel for the 2025 Awards on Friday 7 March (entries are open now, and close on 30 October – and please note! – the samples deadline is also 30 October).

Not all of the panellists are pictured: please see ALL OF THE PANELLISTS below.

Brands wishing to enter please click here for the ENTRY FORM which is also on Instagram @BeautyShortlist (bio link) or at the the top of thebeautyshortlist.com home page, next to the ABOUT tab.

The judges are such an important part of these awards, checking ingredients, efficacy, texture, scent, ethics, packaging, branding, website, provenance, the founder’s story and more.

We’re vigilant when it greenwashing (presenting products as though they’re natural/organic when in fact they’re not and it’s a marketing ploy).

We’re so looking forward to sharing the winners – it’s quite a wait until next March but products have to be judged properly with enough time.

And the best part is, because the awards are held very early in the year, brands who win have almost 10 whole months in which to celebrate their 2025 Awards – not just a couple of months!
