This year, the awards will debut six new categories—Best Skin Prep, Best Skintellectual, Best Targeted Skincare, Best Mask, Best Vegan Beauty and Best Beauty Supplement—each of which has attracted around 20 entrants.
“The CEW Beauty Awards celebrate authority and innovation in beauty. The awards’ significance and importance to the industry have grown enormously. Since its launch in 2006 in the UK, it has grown from just 30 to 300 entries in 31 categories reflecting consumer demand,” CEW UK president Caroline Neville, MBE, told us.
She continued: “Initially devised to highlight innovation in the industry, today they have become a major business driver for brands who get to win the coveted winners’ seal. They are also a major launch pad for new start up brands and a showcase for established brands. Our theme this year is Accessibility – perfectly demonstrated by our Sponsors Amazon and Sainsbury’s beauty initiatives. Part of CEW’s mission is to promote the beauty industry and the annual CEW Beauty Awards are the foundation for achieving that goal.”
