HBA attendees vote for their winning Beauty & Personal Care products
For the first time attendees of the event, which happened in the last week of June, voted for their favorite new product from industry supplier that were on display at the on-site new product showcase.
Ultimately more than 150 products were submitted to the new product awards, by a range of global beauty and personal care manufacturers, all hoping to platform their most innovative or ground-breaking designs.
Four products were chosen from the list of submissions, each representing novel packaging design, or formulation, and several of which also managed to tap into new niches or trends.
