Nourish Beauty & Skincare Awards 2026
Launched in 2024, the Nourish Beauty & Skincare Awards extend our commitment to holistic wellness beyond what we consume to what we apply to our skin. Our independent panel of qualified nutrition professionals evaluates products that genuinely enhance skin health—combining cosmetic excellence with functional benefits backed by science and clean formulation.
Our focus is on natural, functional beauty and skincare products that deliver specific benefits beyond basic cosmetic improvements through active, proven ingredients. We celebrate innovations that enhance both aesthetic appearance and skin health, backed by scientific evidence and clean formulation.
The 2026 UK Nourish Awards are now closed.
The USA Food & Drink Awards opens July 6, 2026 – exclusively for US brands.
