Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) Celebrates The Year’s Best In Beauty
Cosmetic Executive Women (CEW) hosted its 25th annual Beauty Awards, recognizing the most creative and innovative products of the year. Winners in 46 categories were selected from more than 1,000 entries, representing more than 500 brands.
In its 25th anniversary year, the CEW Beauty Awards remain the only awards selected by experts who know the beauty industry’s best. Winners were ultimately selected by CEW’s Board of Governors and a select group of industry experts.
In response to the momentum of the wellness movement – now estimated to be a $4.2 Trillion global industry, with more than $1 Billion coming from beauty and personal care – CEW added new award categories for Beauty Wellness Supplements and Aromatherapy. The momentum from this wellness boom also contributed to the growth of Indies and Entrepreneurial brands. Of CEW’s 10,000 international members, an estimated 13% are now from Indie companies.
In partnership with Preen.Me, CEW added Rising Influencer Awards, which acknowledged up-and-coming influencers in Makeup and Skincare verticals.
“Innovation in the beauty space continues to grow, as does consumer demand for transparency. Consumers are interested in overall wellness, which has driven a great deal of this innovation,” said Carlotta Jacobson, President of CEW. “After 25 years, the CEW seal of approval continues to help consumers navigate the beauty aisles to make informed purchase decisions. As the only awards program selected by industry insiders, we provide winners with credibility and have become the industry’s most important recognition.”
Top trends identified within this year’s winners include the use of charcoal and cannabis as key ingredients and the growth of vegan and all-natural elements in products from supplements to skincare.
