| The Free From Skincare Awards, now in their thirteenth year, aim to celebrate the best in ‘free from’ skincare products — cosmetics ‘free from’ some of the many ingredients which consumers need or want to avoid, be it due to health issues, skin allergies, ethical concerns, environmental issues, religious sensibilities, personal preference, or other reasons.
The Awards are part of the Free From Awards family, which includes the Free From Food Awards. The Awards — which open annually in mid January — are entirely independent and all entries are subject to a rigorous testing and judging process, culminating in the announcement of a Shortlist in May, and the Winners in June. The Awards are widely promoted through their Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts. To find out more about getting involved, start at How to Enter.
