This is the fourth year of the Labelling Award.
It was launched with the intention of rewarding brands which demonstrate excellence in labelling — be it in communicating ingredients in correct formats, instructions for use, suitability (eg skin type / age), allergen guidance / responsible ‘free from’ statements (if used) and other key information such as certifications and claims — all of which are particularly important to skincare consumers who live ‘free from’ lives. Eye-catching design is also credited.
