No, the cosmetic products entering the awards don’t need to be certified by a third-party organisation. If a product is not certified, make sure you submit your entry via the “non-certified” route, and we at the ENBA will check the ingredients’ eligibility for the awards.

No, only cosmetic products with a minimum of 99% of ingredients of natural origin can enter the awards. (In decimal calculations, a product with a minimum of 98,5% natural-origin ingredients can enter the awards.)

Supplements entering the ENBA 2026 must be either 100% organic or wild-harvested.

• Organic: Ingredients are grown in a controlled environment using verified organic methods. This ensures the product meets strict natural and sustainable standards.

• Wild: Ingredients are harvested from the wild (e.g., forest plants) where organic cultivation cannot be proven. The term “wild” is used instead of “organic.” Endangered species are not allowed, unless otherwise certified.

Important: Supplements that are 100% natural but not organic or wild may have been produced using pesticides or other non-certified methods. Therefore, 100% natural alone is not sufficient for ENBA submission for supplements.

No. ENBA 2026 is reserved for sustainable beauty products and tools. Any items containing conventional plastics or non-sustainable materials are not eligible, as the awards focus on environmentally responsible, high-quality natural beauty solutions.

This ensures that all recognised products meet the growing consumer demand for sustainability and reinforce the credibility of the European Natural Beauty Awards’ Excellence Label.

To ensure fairness and a well-rounded evaluation, the ENBA jury is composed of 100 independent members from 35 European countries. This diversity guarantees that results cannot be bought or influenced, making the awards a trusted benchmark for the industry.

The jury is organised into three categories:

• Public Personalities: European stars representing the voice of consumers.

• Industry Experts: Cosmetics certification specialists, buyers, distributors, R&D and sustainability professionals.

• Media Experts: Influential European beauty editors and journalists.

Together, this combination ensures objective, credible, and high-impact recognition for all submitted products.
