Your Chance to Shine ... Enter the 2026 Universal Beauty Awards Now

We’re thrilled to announce that entries for the 2026 Universal Beauty Awards are officially open. If you’ve launched a beauty product recently, whether it’s skincare, haircare, makeup, or wellness, this is your chance to get the recognition your brand deserves.

At the Universal Beauty Awards, we celebrate creativity, quality, and innovation across the beauty industry. We welcome brands big and small, from indie startups to global names. Our goal is simple: to shine a spotlight on products that genuinely make a difference.

What Are the Universal Beauty Awards?

The Universal Beauty Awards were created to give beauty brands a platform to showcase their best work. Every year, an independent panel of industry experts carefully tests and judges the entries based on real results, innovation, and overall value.

We cover a wide range of categories to reflect the diversity of today’s beauty market, from skincare and haircare to makeup and wellness products. Past winners have included some amazing names like Molton Brown, Rituals, Ole Henriksen, Avon, and L’Oréal Professionnel, alongside rising indie brands that are making waves.

Why Enter the Universal Beauty Awards?

We know how competitive the beauty world is, and sometimes it’s hard to stand out. That is where awards like these come in. Winning or even being shortlisted can open doors, boost your brand’s credibility, and help you connect with customers who value quality.

Even if you don’t win, just being part of the awards shows you’re serious about your craft. It’s a chance to get valuable feedback from experts and to be featured in our promotions and press coverage.

• Skincare: cleansers, moisturizers, serums, masks

• Haircare: shampoos, conditioners, styling tools
