Brought to you by our sister title Nutraingredients.com the industry awards honours the best and brightest in ingredients, products, companies, people and projects across the food supplements industry.
New categories for the beauty industry
This year, due to the ever-growing crossover between the nutraingredients and the beauty industries, the awards will introduce a special new category dedicated to beauty-from-within.
For the 2025 awards, there are three new categories that are especially relevant for the cosmetics industry.
- Product of the Year: Beauty from Within in association with CosmeticsDesign-Europe
- Marketing Initiative of the Year
- Ingredient of the Year: Botanical
The new beauty-focused Product of the Year category will celebrate innovation in ‘inside-out’ beauty from any category – be that skin care, hair care to nails or general all-rounders.
For this, the judges will assess how the product meets specific market needs and consumer demand, as well as looking for solid evidence of scientific efficacy.
There are also three other categories that beauty businesses can enter too. These are:
- Ingredient of the year – Beauty from Within in association with CosmeticsDesign-Europe
- Innovation in Women’s Health Award
- Plus, the Editor’s Award for sustainability initiative of the year
The beauty-specific Ingredient of the Year category looks for that ‘x-factor’ ingredient based around tailored nutritional solutions to maintain and enhance skin, nails and hair.
The ingredient must be in the formulation of a finished product that’s commercially available in Europe and for this category, the judges will look at how the ingredient meets specific needs and ensure it’s based on trusted scientific testing.
“Sets it apart from the competition”
According to Nikki Hancocks, Editor of NutraIngredients-Europe, winning a prestigious NutraIngredients Award will set your company apart from the competition, attracting new clients and customers.
“Many companies inform us that being able to promote their finalist or winner status in their B2B and D2C communications, makes a massive difference when it comes to building the confidence of clients, partners, investors and consumers,” she said.
The entries for the 17 different categories are open now and will close on Monday 3 February 2025. There is also a special early bird discount until 13 December 2024.
The winners will be announced at a party on 21 May in Barcelona.
