Since its inception, well over a decade ago, Jo has had the honour of judging a very special award within the annual CEW Awards: the Givaudan Responsible Beauty Award – in fact, it’s two awards, one for Excellence and one for Innovation.

Earlier this spring, Jo gathered again with fellow judges – natural beauty devotees/industry experts Wren Holmes, Lisa Oxenham, Aisling Connaughton, Amarjit Sahota and Teresa Flint-Rojas, led by Givaudan’s Maxine Canham – to decide on this year’s winners. They dipped, they dabbed, they assessed the scents – because product experience is important, as well as sustainability and social responsibility – and the winners will be announced at a swanky lunch on 19th June 2026.

As in previous years, we were able to take away a full set of products from the judging session to offer to our readers. This is a brilliant curation of truly exceptional beauty creations – many of which we’ve written about here in the past – and we’re delighted that ONE lucky reader will be sent all of the shortlisted products (which of course include the hush-hush winners!), from Beauty Bible HQ.

• UpCircle Face Moisturiser with Vitamin E (normally £22 for 60ml) – from a brand which specialises in taking waste (but perfectly good) ingredients, to create effective products for face, hair and body – including this lovely skin treat.

• Infiniment Coty Encore Une Fois (normally £250 for 100ml eau de parfum) – the fragrances in the biotech-led Infiniment line (which you can find at Liberty) are showcased in revolutionary, recyclable packaging – not a square inch of cellophane in sight – and smell sublime, in this case a heavenly, intense amber-vanilla.

• Wildsmith Skin Hydrating Light Cream (£90 for 50ml) – from one of our own fave natural beauty brands, waving the flag for sustainability not just with its ingredients, but packaging which is actually compostable.

• Parudeesa Deodorant (£14) and Bamboo Trinket case (£20) – an innovative, all-natural way to stay fresh, with a skin-friendly soft deodorant that lives (between uses) in this bamboo case.

• Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil (£35 for 45ml) – this Antipodean brand was shortlisted for the second year in a row, embodied here by a silky, skin-loving facial oil that nourishes, brightens and plumps.

• Weleda Skin Food (£15.95 for 75ml) – the green glow-giver that so many people we know swear by (and which we ‘prescribe’ all the time), it just so happens that Weleda is celebrating its 100th birthday, this year.

• NYITA Celestia Extrait de Parfum (£70 for 5ml) – another second-timer, chosen for its farm-to-flacon sourcing policy, and for showing that it’s possible to create a 100% natural scent that smells divine, and lasts on skin.

To enter, simply fill in the form below – and do check out the shortlisted products, before the closing date – all shining examples of how cosmetics be ‘greener’ and more sustainable, without having to make a single beauty compromise.
