Janey Loves Platinum AwardsI’m thrilled to kick off my collaboration with MyGreenPod Magazine by sharing some of the highlights of the Janey Loves Platinum Awards 2017.

I created these awards four years ago to recognise the best natural and organic products and services. We have categories for health and wellbeing, mother and baby, home and garden, food and drink and one for therapists, coaches and authors of wellbeing books.

By far the biggest category is skincare and beauty; since writing my first book, Imperfectly Natural Woman, 10 years ago – when you could count on one hand the organic makeup brands – the market has grown massively. Consumers are consistently choosing organic and eco products over their conventional rivals, not just to tick the ethical box or as an antidote to allergies, but because they look great, feel great and are effective! Here are a few of this year’s winners.

AEOS, Green People and Weleda

AEOS CLEANSING OIL DÉ-MAQ

Our judges loved this smooth, hydrating, cleansing oil made with biodynamic ingredients. It’s effective at removing impurities and every last trace of makeup.
