“The Beauty Shortlist Awards have grown organically into the ad-free and sponsor-free beauty industry calendar highlight they are today,” explains awards founder Fiona Klonarides.
The Awards have no allegiance to any brand/s whatsoever and each product is judged entirely on its own merit by experts in industry.
Some of the winners of the Beauty Shortlist & Wellbeing Awards over the years, since 2012
“It has never been more important to celebrate and support the nature-inspired ethical brands that genuinely care and celebrate nature and are making a positive difference – and because of this, the winners list stands as a trusted guide to the true shining lights, from much-loved indie heroes to the green global giants.
“These are the beauty and wellness brands worth buying, loving, sharing and supporting – because nature is our sanctuary, our tonic and our future, and her future is in our hands.”
