Clean Beauty Awards Opens 2025 Entries for 10th Anniversary Milestone

The Clean Beauty Awards, the premier event recognizing excellence in clean beauty, has opened its call for brand entries for the 2025 awards, marking a significant milestone as the awards celebrate their 10th anniversary. Organized by CertClean, North America's leading certification for safer skincare, the Clean Beauty Awards have played a crucial role in the clean beauty revolution over the past decade, helping consumers make informed choices and recognizing brands that prioritize health and sustainability in their products.

What distinguishes the Clean Beauty Awards is its rigorous judging process, where finalists and winners are determined by an external panel of over 70 clean beauty experts, advocates, and influencers rather than relying on popularity or a small internal team. This approach ensures a legitimate and unbiased evaluation of the products entered. Jenise Lee, CEO of CertClean, emphasized the importance of the awards, stating that their program is dedicated to demonstrating that clean beauty products truly deliver results while enhancing the credibility of the entire clean beauty industry and building consumer trust.

The call for entries opened on August 14, 2024, with early bird discounts available until October 1, 2024, and registration fees ranging from $129 USD to $199 USD per product depending on the registration period. Brands have until October 31, 2024, to submit their entries, with judging taking place from November 2024 to February 2025 and winners announced in March 2025. Interested brands can visit https://www.cleanbeautyawards.com for eligibility criteria and submission guidelines.

This year, brands can enter their products in 22 categories covering a wide range of beauty and personal care products including lipstick, eye care, mascara, nail care, perfume, body care, hair treatments, face creams, and more. The comprehensive list of categories reflects the diverse and growing clean beauty market, which has seen significant expansion since the awards' establishment in 2015. The 9th annual awards received more than 170 entries from Canada, the US, Europe, and throughout the Asia Pacific, demonstrating the global reach and importance of clean beauty validation.

As the clean beauty industry continues to expand, events like the Clean Beauty Awards play a crucial role in setting standards and recognizing excellence by highlighting products that are both effective and free from potentially harmful ingredients. The 10th anniversary not only celebrates a decade of progress but also looks forward to shaping the future of clean beauty as consumers become increasingly conscious of ingredients in their personal care products, with initiatives like these awards helping guide them toward safer choices while encouraging brands to innovate and improve their formulations.
