Who was crowned the best in beauty at the fourth annual Pure Beauty Global Awards ceremony?
Pure Beauty has celebrated the best in cosmetics from around the world in 2021. Our panel of experts – with some help from the editorial team – spent months whittling 631 products down to the worthy winners.
The Pure Beauty Global Awards 2021, now in its fourth year, enlisted the help of skin care guru and journalist Alice Hart-Davis, the Product Junkie founder Amaya Smith, IFRA UK Director Lisa Hipgrave and Jasmine Hemsley, sustainability expert and founder of food blog Hemsley + Hemsley, to select the winners from a total of nearly 800 entries from across 42 countries.
Alongside these industry heavyweights, fellow judges included beauty entrepreneur Brittany Brown, CPL Aromas perfumer Claudine de Vogel, NARS make-up artist Clayton Reid, hair care expert and editor Laura Husband, hairstylist and co-owner of My Hair Bar Lorraine Dublin and organic skin care expert Dr Pauline Hili.
From legacy brands to forward-thinking indies disrupting the beauty landscape, Pure Beauty only celebrates the best in the business. These chosen few are now part of an elite club that enables them to bear the Pure Beauty Global Awards logo, helping them to flout their credentials to buyers, distributors and consumers.
While we were once again unable to host our prestigious ceremony in-person this year, due to social distancing rules, yesterday evening, Pure Beauty announced the winners as part of a circus-themed digital ceremony hosted with charm and wit by RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Tia Kofi and held in partnership with online retailer eBay.
Now, onto the winners...
