Formerly known as Organic Monitor, Ecovia Intelligence hosts several regional and international events, including the Sustainable Cosmetics Summit and the Sustainable Beauty Awards.
Sustainable Beauty Awards categories and judges
This year, of course, the Sustainable Beauty Awards was a virtual event—but no less significant for the winners and runners-up.
Sustainable Beauty Awards were given in 5 categories: New Sustainable Product, Sustainable Ingredient, Sustainable Packaging, Sustainability Pioneer, and Sustainability Leadership.
Cosmetics Design Editor Deanna Utroske was invited to serve on the 2020 Sustainable Beauty Awards jury and share remarks at the awards event. Other jury members this year include Sahota and several other industry insiders seen in the video version of the awards event (linked farther down the page).
