Responsible Beauty Awards

RESPONSIBLE BEAUTY AWARDS

The CEW Responsible Beauty Awards, sponsored by Givaudan for the 15th year, recognise a beauty product, brand or product line that has most significantly moved towards the goal of improved sustainability. The Awards aim to encourage steps towards greater sustainability within the beauty industry. Eligible beauty products or product lines must be currently available at retail in the UK.

The award has evolved into 2 categories as follows: The ‘CEW Responsible Beauty Award for Excellence‘ to reward brands that are consistently performant in sustainability and the ‘CEW Responsible Beauty Award for Innovation‘ to recognise strong product innovation e.g. in packaging, ingredients, formulation, life cycle, usage etc.

The application form remains the same and our independent panel of expert judges will decide the winners of each category. We should like to emphasise that each entry is judged by the application itself so make sure all your efforts are carefully captured on the form to give yourself the maximum chance of success.

 

REHAB, WINNER OF THE 2025 RESPONSIBLE BEAUTY AWARD FOR INNOVATION

Winning this award is a huge moment for us. As a small team, we pour so much care into creating high-performance formulas that are better for both people and the planet. Innovation and sustainability are the foundations of REHAB., principles that guide every decision we make. So, having that recognised within the industry is incredibly special. It inspires us to keep pushing forward and evolving what responsible beauty means today.
