After reviewing 1,274 product applications this year alone, and shortlisting fewer than 20% due to our strict natural formulation criteria, one thing is clear: formulating performing, stable, truly natural cosmetics with great sensoriality remains a complex challenge for many brands.
The complexity of formulating high-quality natural cosmetics inspired us to launch a brand-new award category highlighting the essential work of raw ingredient makers.
Behind every exceptional product stands a network of innovators, and raw ingredient suppliers are some of the quiet heroes of the beauty industry. Their work makes it possible for brands to create effective, safe, and truly natural cosmetics. This award recognises innovative, certified natural ingredients that offer effective and sustainable alternatives to synthetic compounds commonly used in cosmetics. As the industry continues to shift toward transparency, safety, and sustainability, raw ingredient makers play a vital role in enabling brands to meet consumers’ expectations.
Through this new category, our mission is to connect pioneering raw ingredient suppliers with the next generation of clean and natural beauty brands, creating a stronger, more ethical value chain from source to shelf.
This year, the most innovative and certified natural ingredients will be shortlisted and evaluated by our jury. These standout compounds will be introduced during the 2025 European Natural Beauty Awards Ceremony.
