“We’re seeing more and more beauty brands focus on sustainability to offset environmental impact,” remarked CEW president Carlotta Jacobson. “As a leading trade organization for the beauty industry, it’s important that we recognize those companies and products.”

CEW established the Eco Beauty Award to encourage the beauty industry to take steps toward sustainability. This new category garnered more than 40 entrants. The winner will be revealed at the 17th annual CEW Beauty Awards on May 20, 2011, at the Waldorf=Astoria New York.

The finalists were selected by The Natural Step, a global organization whose mission is to enable communities to better understand and integrate environmental, social and economic considerations toward sustainability. A special Eco Beauty Award voting committee will ultimately vote on the winner.
