The awards are shifting in order to take place at Natural Beauty & Spa, part of Natural & Organic Products Europe, at ExCel, London, on Monday 23 April 2018.
“The Natural Beauty Retail Awards are designed to recognise and celebrate the importance that a great retail experience plays in growing the organic and natural beauty market,” say organisers, Natural Beauty News, of the event’s aim.
“The new event will also recognise the best new beauty products launching on to the market, as it will incorporate the beauty categories of the Natural & Organic Products Awards.”
Launchpad
Carol Dunning, event director of Natural & Organic Products Europe, says the new awards are set to make a strong addition to the show’s lineup, offering companies a ‘launchpad’ for products.
“We’re delighted to welcome the Natural Beauty Retail Awards to the show. The exhibition is the launch pad for so many fabulous new natural and organic beauty products,” she says. “To celebrate the retailers who stock these products at the event where the industry truly comes to together each year, is a perfect fit.”
Entries
Retailers are invited to enter products here. All entries will then be judged by a panel of industry experts. Categories include: Best Department Store, Best Retail Chain, Best Supermarket, Best Branded Store, Best Online Retailer, and Best Independent Store. The closing date for entries is 19 January 2018.
Previous winners include; Debenhams, Holland & Barrett, Waitrose, Neal’s Yard Remedies, Beauty Kitchen, Content Beauty & Wellbeing, and Lovelula.com
Dominic Roberjot, publisher of Natural Beauty News, says: “We created the Natural Beauty Retail Awards as there was nothing which recognised the vital role retailers play in bringing natural and organic beauty brands to consumers.
"To be able to celebrate great retailers and the brands they are ultimately stocking in one place, was too good of an opportunity to miss.”
