Clean Beauty Awards Opens 10th Anniversary Competition with Expanded Global Reach

The Clean Beauty Awards, the premier event recognizing excellence in clean beauty, has opened its call for brand entries for the 2025 awards, marking a significant milestone as the program celebrates its 10th anniversary. Organized by CertClean, North America's leading certification for safer skincare, these awards have played a crucial role in the clean beauty revolution over the past decade by helping consumers make informed choices and recognizing brands that prioritize health and sustainability. What distinguishes the Clean Beauty Awards is its rigorous judging process, where finalists and winners are determined by an external panel of over 70 clean beauty experts, advocates, and influencers rather than relying on popularity or small internal teams.

Jenise Lee, CEO of CertClean, emphasized the importance of the awards program, stating that their decade-long dedication demonstrates that clean beauty products truly deliver results while enhancing industry credibility and building consumer trust. The call for entries opened on August 14, 2024, with early bird discounts available until October 1, 2024, and registration fees ranging from $129 to $199 USD per product depending on the registration period. Brands have until October 31, 2024, to submit their entries through the official website at https://www.cleanbeautyawards.com where they can find eligibility criteria and submission guidelines.

The judging process will take place from November 2024 to February 2025, with winners announced in March 2025. This year, brands can enter their products in 22 categories covering a comprehensive range of beauty and personal care items including lipstick, eye care, mascara, nail care, perfume, body care, hair treatments, and face creams. The diverse category list reflects the expanding clean beauty market and the program's commitment to recognizing excellence across all product types. The Clean Beauty Awards have demonstrated significant growth since their establishment in 2015, with the previous awards receiving more than 170 entries from Canada, the United States, Europe, and throughout the Asia Pacific region.

As the clean beauty industry continues its global expansion, events like the Clean Beauty Awards play a crucial role in setting standards and recognizing excellence while highlighting products that are both effective and free from potentially harmful ingredients. The 10th anniversary celebration not only marks a decade of progress but also looks forward to shaping the future of clean beauty as consumers become increasingly conscious of ingredients in their personal care products. The prestigious Clean Beauty Awards Badge helps recognized brands gain entry into new stores and reach wider consumer bases while guiding consumers toward safer choices and encouraging brands to innovate and improve their formulations.
