The finalists for the 2019 Beauty Industry Awards are…

Our two judging panels – one for ingredients and one for finished products – have been working hard over the last few weeks to narrow down the field to just three finalists in each category, and the final decision is now here.

The 2019 Beauty Industry Award finalists shortlist meant that our six-strong judging panel had to sort through hundreds of entries to create this shortlist in each of the ten categories, reflecting the very best in ingredient and brand offerings from across the globe.

Below is the shortlist, which will be narrowed down to one winner for each of the categories that will be announced during our awards ceremony on the evening of Wednesday, April 3rd, ​ during the in-cosmetics Global event, in Paris, France.
