On Friday, 28th June, The 2024 CEW Beauty Awards winners were announced at the celebration lunch at The Londoner Hotel.
Hosted by Ateh Jewel, Award-winning journalist, diversity advocate, brand founder, and broadcaster, the ceremony saw a vast array of winning brands take to the stage to collect their coveted awards and receive the exclusive free-to-use CEW Beauty Awards Winners’ seal for their products.
Across 33 main categories and 12 Consumer Choice categories, CEW has recognised cutting-edge brands, including Byoma, OLAPLEX, Sol de Janeiro, Rare Beauty & Rehab and cult-favourites ELEMIS, The INKEY List, OPI & Neom Organics.Â
CEW UK is the largest global membership organisation in the industry, promoting and defining the British beauty industry and supporting businesses and individuals across the sector through its activities. Now in its 19th year, with title sponsors Amazon Beauty, Sainsbury’s, and Superdrug the CEW Beauty Awards remain the only awards voted for by professionals working within the sector and act as a true trend indicator.
The Responsible Beauty Award, sponsored by Givaudan, is now in its 13th year, with the award voted for by an independent panel of experts, including Josephine Fairley and Teresa Flint Rojas. This year, the judges selected Beauty Kitchen – Pure Source Collagen Serum as the winner of the ‘CEW Responsible Beauty Award for Excellence’ and ‘CEW Responsible Beauty Award for Innovation’. Never before has the same brand won both categories, and an indication of the extraordinary work Beauty Kitchen are doing.
Back for 2024 were the CEW Consumer Choice Awards – voted for by UK consumers and sponsored for the first time this year by Superdrug. These awards were introduced in response to demand and feedback from members and brands and feature 12 consolidated categories, including ‘Best New Skin Product’ and ‘Beauty Icon’. This year’s winners included Rehab for ‘Best New Brand’ and OLAPLEX – Volumizing Blow Dry Mist for ‘Best New Hair Product’.Â
Last year, CEW introduced the Amazon Beauty Breakthrough Award—a very special award to mark CEW’s long-standing partnership with Amazon Beauty. During April and May, in a joint campaign, the members of CEW UK and consumers across the UK had the opportunity to vote on the shortlisted Amazon Beauty Breakthrough Products, with the ELEMIS—Pro-Collagen Night Cream crowned the winning product.
Thank you again to all of the 220 brands who entered and the finalists and 2024 winners. Your participation and dedication have made the CEW Beauty Awards a great success, and we hope to work with you again next year.
