Free From Skincare Awards

About Us

The Free From Skincare Awards, now in their fourteenth year, aim to celebrate the best in ‘free from’ skincare products — cosmetics ‘free from’ either animal-based ingredients, or fragrances / fragrance allergens, or food allergens, or artificial ingredients, and perhaps some of the other sensitisers or occasionally and personally problematic ingredients which some consumers may need to avoid, be it due to health issues, skin allergies, ethical concerns, environmental issues, religious sensibilities, or personal preference.

The Awards are part of the ‘Free From Awards’ family, which includes the Free From Food Awards. and the new Free From Living Awards, which debuted in 2024.

The Awards — which open annually in January — are entirely independent and all entries are subject to a rigorous testing and judging process, culminating in the announcement of a list of Finalists in May, and the Winners in June.

The Awards are widely promoted through their Instagram, Facebook and X accounts.
