Hi everyone!
I wanted to get this blog out yesterday but with all the excitement at the announcement of the Global Green Beauty Awards I didn’t manage it. So I’m up bright and early today to give you a quick run-down of some of the winners. We had over 400 entries and as I’ve said before, these Green Awards are extremely competitive, with top brands all continuously pushing forward to make their products cleaner and more ethical while also being effective and potent. In addition to the actual product, we also take into account environmentally-friendly packaging, which is extremely important both to us and to customers, and sustainable business practices. A great deal of work is put in by top brands to make sure that their businesses are Green and we’re really proud to be part of that story, getting to really know all the hard work that is done behind the scenes as well as the brands’ motivation and inspirations. Being able to recognise, promote and reward companies who are really going the extra mile is quite a privilege and we are looking forward to sharing some stories about the winners over the coming weeks.

Best Direct Selling Beauty Brands - with award winning products from the 2021 Global Green Beauty Awards ![]() Hi again everyone, Today I’d like to take a deeper look into more winners from the Global Green Beauty Awards. This time - they all have something in common - they are all from MLMs, aka Direct Selling companies. These companies aren't found in shops, but are sold by their distributors, or from the brand's website. There is a lot to squeeze in so let’s not won’t waste any time and jump straight in! First we’ll take a look at Nu Skin, one of the world’s leading anti-aging companies and originally founded in the United States. They have recently been in the news as last week, in quick response to the current situation in Afghanistan, employees spent a day creating language learning activity sets and toys for refugees arriving in Utah. Additionally, the company made a $20,000 donation to the International Rescue Committee. This impressive act towards helping newly arrived people with a massive culture shock demonstrates not only their company values towards the current global situations but has the added effect of making employees feel like they are directly helping others in need as well as creating a new dynamic between employees, surely deepening bonds and relations. Nu Skin were gold winners for BEST SHEA BUTTER PRODUCT with their Nu Skin Epoch® Baobab Body Butter Tube. This product is a god send for dry skin, and has a delicious scent that you won't resits. BEST VEGAN MAKEUP BRUSH GOLD WINNER was Tropic for their EcoArtist 3in1 Eye Brush. Founder and CEO, Susie Ma, grew up in the tropical North Queensland City of Cairns in Australia. Inspired and educated by her grandmother who was a medicinal chemist and toxicologist, Susie learned that skins needs to be treated with healthy and natural ingredients. Fortunately, the tropical climate was rich in exotic plants and this has influenced the products used at Tropic. BEST VEGAN ANTI AGEING PRODUCT GOLD WINNER went to MONAT and their Botanic Bakuchiol Lotio. Founded in 2014, Monat has three principles which it bases its practice on; the first of which is Healthy Planet as they carefully assess and audit their environmental impacts and strive to be as eco-friendly as possible, the second is Purposeful Business and Products which includes using natural and sustainable products, and the third is Joyful People and Communities. GOLD WINNER for BEST PLANT BASED BEAUTY PRODUCT was awarded to Arbonne and their AgeWell Collagen Nurturing Serum with 2% Bakuchiol. Arbonne are committed to the link between inner and outer beauty, understanding the direct connection between the two. They combine intense scientific research with top-grade plant ingredients to create safe, clean products which they are clearly immensely proud of, and rightly so. All Arbonne products are Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Formulated Gluten-free. Their philosophy is made up of 4 key factors, all rooted in scientific research. They are- Plant Based Ingredients High Clean Standards Co-development with experts Scientific testing Finally, let's take a closer look at Silver Winner for MOST INNOVATIVE GREEN PRODUCT SILVER which went to Young Living for their CBD Beauty Boost. I love the way these guys describe themselves so rather than paraphrase I’ll share this wonderful statement from their website where they describe their purpose- “We are distillers and dreamers, creators and caretakers, farmers and family. We uplift and enhance lives around the world through nature’s living energy—essential oils.” In addition to these beautiful words, Young Living are also taking really impressive action, here are just some of their achievements so far! 99 percent landfill-free status at our largest distribution center Green Business of the Year and Recycler of the Year (2019) Minimising environmental impact with their packaging Using only high-grade natural ingredients Do check them out and all the other great brands who were winners at the 2021 Global Green Beauty Awards! Until next time, ciao for now! Dan Hi everyone. Dan here, firstly with a little update on life here in Italy and then with a quick spotlight on one of the victors after the recent announcement of the winners at the 2020 UK Global Makeup Awards. So, since we last met, lockdown measures have gradually eased here in the region of Lombardy. Lombardy is in the north of the country; it borders Switzerland and its two largest cities are Milan and Brescia. The word Lombardy is originally formed from Long and Beard, that’s pretty cool. I’m down in the Brescia region, among the stunning mountains at the popular holiday destination Lake Garda. Over the past week, shops and restaurants have gradually reopened, and once again there are people on the streets and visiting cafes. On Friday afternoon I had an appointment in the beautiful lakeside town of Salo, and there was a wonderful energy and atmosphere as friends re-connected with each other after nearly 3 months of isolation. Everyone seemed to respect social distancing and the police were helping restaurateurs to arrange their tables according to new regulations Personally, I’ve particularly enjoyed getting my paddleboard back out on the lake. The scenery here is beautiful but I don’t think any view of the area beats the view from when you are actually in or on the lake! In addition to getting out on the lake, our international team has been busy announcing the UK winners of the 2020 Global Makeup Awards. There were over 350 entries to our beauty awards and over the next few blogs, we’re excited to share more information and background on some of the winners. You can read our debuted new magazine "Global Makeup Magazine" showing the winner's showcase for the 2020 Global Makeup Awards here. Let’s start with the BEST CLEANSER GOLD WINNER. Beuti skincare prevailed in a competitive market to take home the gold award for their Pomegranate glow 3 in 1 enzyme cleanser & Phytoessence Biocosmetics Face Cleansing Oil, launched in 2015 by former aesthetician LEILA AALAM with the mission of providing high quality yet affordable beauty products free from unnecessary chemicals. Beuti products were an immediate hit and Kate Middleton even took care to include their products while packing her hospital bag as she prepared to give birth to little Louis -read the blog here: https://beutiskincare.com/the-duchess-of-cambridge-uses-elixir-whilst-giving-birth/ The Pomegranate glow 3 in 1 enzyme cleanser is a fantastic product which in addition to being an excellent cleanser, also functions as a facemask when left applied for 5-10 minutes. The fermented Pomegranate acts like a gentle glycolic acid which exfoliates and cleanses skin while rose clay while Copaiba Balsam soothes and protects against inflammation. Beuti were hugely deserving winners in this category of beauty awards despite facing a lot of competition from other high-quality brands. Do check out their website where you can order online and access a list of stockists throughout the UK, USA and Europe - https://beutiskincare.com/shop/ That’s all for now but please stay tuned for more spotlights on worthy winners from our most recent awards over the coming days and weeks. We love sharing more information with you about our winners and their stories! |
