New international beauty awards land

Industry experts Cosmetics Design have stepped foot into the awards industry with the launch of their first. The Beauty Industry Awards have been welcomed as a way to recognise formulation expertise and will roll out both regionally and internationally.

The awards will be held across three separate regions – Asia Pacific, Americas and Europe (by each of the Cosmetics Design verticals respectively). Four judging panels will determine the finalists of each geographic area, before a global competition is held to determine the Grand Championship winner.

The website explains: “There will be a total of seven award categories, which will include six directly related to formulation and product innovation, as well as a category that will showcase the professional achievements of the women that make this industry tick.”

The award categories currently stand as Best Color Cosmetics Ingredient, Best Skin Care Ingredient, Best Hair Care Ingredient, Best Sensory Ingredient, Best Use Of An Ingredient In A Finished Product, Best Indie Beauty Brand, and Readers’ Choice - Beauty Industry Woman Of The Year.
