They may have been competing against everyday essentials like dishwashing detergent and bread, but that didn’t stop multiple beauty and health goodies coming up trumps in this year’s Product of the Year Awards.
More than 15,000 Australian shoppers had their say on the 2015 Product of the Year, with 14 beauty and health products named among the 44 winners. The products chosen were innovative in terms of function, design or packaging.
Entries were reviewed by a jury of industry professionals before going to a public vote. The judges included NewsLocal editor-in-chief Kathy Lipari, Australian Food and Grocery Council chief executive Gary Dawson and Woman’s Day editor-in-chief Fiona Connolly, who reviewed products for their performance, value for money and overall satisfaction.
