Soil Association Certification, the UK’s leading certification body for organic and sustainable products, and the European Natural Beauty Awards (ENBA) announced today a new partnership. The collaboration aims to combat greenwashing in the UK and elevate the best natural cosmetics from the UK in the wider European market.
“This partnership provides a fantastic platform for UK brands committed to natural beauty to showcase their innovative products to a wider European audience,” said Paige Tracey, from Soil Association Certification.
The European Natural Beauty Awards recognize excellence in natural beauty products across Europe. This partnership will offer a platform to increase visibility and recognition for UK-based brands among industry experts and beauty consumers across Europe and the UK market.
“We’re delighted to partner with Soil Association Certification,” said Macha Chibani, European Natural Beauty Awards COO. “Their commitment to rigorous standards aligns perfectly with our mission to celebrate the best in the natural cosmetic industry. We know that Brexit excluded UK brands from the European Market. We want this partnership to strengthen the European natural beauty landscape, and offer wilder visibility to the UK brands doing exceptional work in the natural cosmetics scene.”
Through this strategic partnership, the organisations are committed to:
Elevate brands that prioritise natural ingredients and adhere to rigorous standards, ensuring authenticity and quality for European consumers.
Recognise brands that push boundaries in natural formulations and production processes, while demonstrating a genuine commitment to naturality and product efficacy.
Educate consumers about the value of natural cosmetics, allowing them to make confident choices that align with their preferences for safety, sustainability, and effectiveness.
