Global Green Beauty Awards: While We Wait for 2025 Results, Let’s Look Back at 2024’s Winners

The 2025 Global Green Beauty Awards have now closed for entries, and with another year of strong participation — over 650 entries once again — the green beauty space continues to thrive. With winners due to be announced on June 23rd, the anticipation is building.

While we wait for the 2025 results to go live, it’s the perfect time to look back at some of the standout brands and products from last year’s 2024 Global Green Beauty Awards — a year that set the bar high for innovation, sustainability, and ethical beauty.

Highlights from the 2024 Global Green Beauty Awards

The 2024 edition celebrated the best in clean and conscious beauty across a wide range of categories. Here are a few of the standout winners:

• Rehab. took home four Gold Awards, including Best Green Haircare Brand, with products like their plastic-free shampoo sheets and Vital Hair Brush, which impressed with both design and environmental credentials.

• Amanda Caroline won Best Packaging Using Recycled Materials for its Haute Rose Cleanse — a beautifully formulated product featuring Kaolin clay and prebiotics in consciously created packaging.

• Dr. Organic made a strong impression with 13 wins, including Gold for Best Essential Oil (Eucalyptus Pure Oil) and Best Natural Nail Product (Tea Tree Nail Solution).

• Coco & Eve earned the Editor’s Choice Award for its Like A Virgin Shampoo & Conditioner, free from sulfates and silicones, and praised for both performance and sustainability.

• BYROE secured Gold as Best Zero Waste Beauty Brand, showing leadership in packaging reduction and transparent sourcing.

• Rituals won four Golds for its Ritual of Karma home fragrance line, with standout products like their scented candles, fragrance sticks, and room sprays.

• Velettà was recognised for its Bioactive Illuminating Serum, which won Gold in Best Natural Skincare Product, and its Intensive Hydrating Treatment, which won Silver.

These brands demonstrated that it’s possible to deliver high-performance beauty products while making environmentally responsible choices at every stage — from formulation to packaging.

The Rise of Eco-Friendly Makeup in 2025

One of the most significant industry shifts in 2025 is the growing momentum behind eco-friendly makeup brands. Consumers are looking beyond just ingredients — they're seeking packaging that’s refillable or recyclable, brands that are vegan and cruelty-free, and makeup that’s as good for the planet as it is for their skin.

As a result, makeup categories in the 2025 awards saw fierce competition, with brands introducing compostable lipstick tubes, refillable eyeshadow palettes, and low-waste packaging innovations. This trend is expected to grow even more in the 2026 edition.

Why Choose the Global Green Beauty Awards?

Unlike commercially driven award programs, the Global Green Beauty Awards put sustainability, innovation, and ethical values at the heart of every category. While many UK awards — such as the CEW UK Beauty Awards — focus on market impact and industry insider voting, the Global Green Beauty Awards offer a platform for brands that lead with purpose and conscious design.

It’s not just about what the product does — it’s about how it’s made, sourced, and packaged.

What’s Next: 2026 Global Green Beauty Awards

The 2026 Global Green Beauty Awards will open for entries early next year, offering even more opportunities for brands making meaningful environmental progress to gain recognition.

With categories spanning everything from zero-waste beauty and refillable makeup to vegan skincare and sustainable wellness, the awards continue to grow in scope — reflecting the fast-moving world of green beauty.

Why These Awards Matter

Being shortlisted or winning a Global Green Beauty Award is more than a badge — it’s a powerful form of third-party validation in a crowded and competitive market. The awards are widely covered across beauty media and digital channels, and winning brands are often featured in green beauty roundups, trade press, and influencer content.

It’s an excellent opportunity to grow awareness, trust, and customer loyalty — especially among today’s environmentally conscious consumers.
