Winners and runners-up will be announced at an awards presentation and networking event to be held in London July 5, 2018.
“We were excited by the innovation in products this year,” said awards administrator Kirsty Mawhinney. “Among them were spirulina and beetroot-colored kids’ bath bombs, solid shampoo cubes, an eyelash oil, a scalp hydrator for men and a probiotic deodorant.”
Added Alex Gazzola, awards coordinator: “Every year the diversity of entries delights testers and judges. But this year the standard excelled, which is terrific news for those consumers with allergies, problem skin conditions, religious sensibilities and ethical or environmental concerns who rely on free from skincare products.”
