Entries for the Beauty Shortlist Awards are now open, in what is set to be a special year for these pioneering awards.
 
The Beauty Shortlist is celebrating its 18th year, and 15 years of recognising the best brands in the natural and organic beauty and wellness space.

A level playing field

Launched in 2012, the Beauty Shortlist awards consistently champion green beauty pioneers –focusing on transparency, efficacy, ethics, excellence and sustainability.

For the first time, entries for each of the Beauty Shortlist’s Awards categories – Beauty, Wellbeing, Men’s, Mama & Baby and Eco – opened on the same day, 01 September 2025.

Entries will close on 30 September, with winners and finalists announced in March and April 2026.

‘The Beauty Shortlist Awards create a truly level playing field; they remain completely independent and free from advertising or bias, meaning small, boutique brands and small family businesses have a uniquely fair chance when they go up against the bigger household names with huge marketing budgets. The judges dig beneath the claims and rate each product for its efficacy and ethics.’

Two new experts have joined this year’s judging panel: Terese Mårtensson, sustainable beauty advocate and green beauty scout from Sweden, and beauty education consultant Ana Green, who has more than five years’ experience at leading natural beauty formulation school Formula Botanica (UK).

The awards honour brands, both big and small, that are and are 100% independent and completely free from sponsorship, ads or any financial partnerships.
