Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) recently held its 22nd annual CEW Beauty Insider Awards at the Waldorf Astoria, celebrating the winners who were selected from 800 entries and 212 finalists. (See who won in 2015 here.) It was a good year for Neutrogena, Sonia Kashuk, charcoal-based products and several others. For a complete list, scroll down.

UPDATE: Now you can watch a video of some of the winners demonstrated on The Today Show.

“Thousands of beauty products are launched every year," said says Carlotta Jacobson, president of CEW. "With so many options to choose from, it can be challenging for a shopper to distinguish between them. Because these winners are selected by industry insiders, the award seal helps the consumer identify and trust that these are the most innovative products in beauty.”
