Launched in 2013 and organised by Organic Monitor, the Sustainable Beauty Awards aim to give recognition to operators who are pushing the boundaries of sustainability in the beauty industry. This year’s Sustainable Beauty Awards are now open for entries.
There are five award categories, each representing different aspects of sustainability:
• Green Formulations Award – for a cosmetic range with a high level of natural or organic ingredients
• Sustainable Packaging Award – for a new packaging format with low environmental footprint in terms of design and / or materials
• Sustainable Ingredient Award – for a material that makes a significant difference in terms of environmental and / or social impact
• Sustainability Pioneer Award – for an operator that is a pioneer or leader in some aspect of sustainability
• Sustainability Leadership Award – for an operator that leads in various aspects of sustainability

The deadline for entries this year is 23rd September, finalists will be notified by 1st October, and the winners announced at a dedicated awards ceremony at the Paris Marriott Champs-Elysées on the evening of 24th October. The awards ceremony will be co-hosted alongside the European edition of the Sustainable Cosmetics Summit.
