The finalists for the Best of The Green Edit Awards have been announced.
For the awards, clean beauty and wellness brands were invited to submit three hero products from their range into 12 categories.
The products were tried and tested by Cathy Tolpigin, founder of The Green Edit, Erin Hawken, co-founder of clean beauty store Nourished in Netherlands and Laura Burns, celebrity hair and makeup artist working on set in New York.
Cathy, Erin and Laura have selected five finalists for each category, which include the best: Makeup, Skincare, Lip, Hair, Beauty Tool, Inner Beauty Supplement, Sunscreen, Perfume, Body Product, Australian Beauty Product, Sustainable Product and New Product Launch and are rated on the following criteria: functionality, texture, scent, ingredients, performance, packaging and social responsibility.
The winners for each category will be selected by a judging panel of influential Australian and international beauty experts and retailers including Elena Severin from The Detox Market, Beautyologie founder Robyn Doyle, Active Skin founder Yvette Wyeth, Heartwood founder Alex Wilson, Bond Clean Beauty founder Clare McGrowdie and Category Beauty Editor at Are Media Elise Wilson.
Speaking exclusively with Retail Beauty, Cathy said the calibre of entries this year was “exceptional, we are talking about high-performance, innovative, efficacious products that truly perform”.
“I am so excited to announce the finalists, it’s so wonderful to celebrate the incredible people behind clean and ethical brands who put in the work to create ethically,” she said.
“It was very difficult to select the finalists, but we are so proud of the products that will be sent on to our independent panel of beauty retailers and expert judges. When selecting finalists, we look for the whole package and judging criteria for each product is based on functionality, texture, scent, ingredients, performance, packaging and social responsibility.”
