These 'insider' awards are voted on by members of the cosmetic industry's networking organisation each year - and here are some of the products which scooped a CEW Award, at the recent so-glamorous lunch... Because who better to judge the beauty industry’s innovations – fledgling brands and duh-why-didn’t-anyone-think-of-it-before beauty must-haves – than the industry’s own? Who’s truly qualified to decide which brands deserve classic status – and perhaps elevating to the Beauty Hall of Fame? Bottom line: who’s got a more informed perspective on the entire beauty universe than its own movers and shakers? That’s why the CEW(UK) Awards are so influential - and here’s how those insiders voted, in 2015… (For a full run-down of the winners and runners-up, visit the YOU Magazine website here...

The Eco Beauty Award Sponsored by Givaudan Melvita Apicosma Soothing Cream Melvita’s commitment to sustainable beauty has earned this French brand (a ‘sister’ to L’Occitane) an Eco Beauty Award before. But it was a true packaging innovation which impressed the judges - experts in sustainability – who gathered at CEW UK’s HQ to debate the eco-virtues of this year’s entries: a clever pump, which prevents air from getting to this multi-tasking ‘three-honey nectar balm’. Beyond that, this certified organic winner – which triumphed over a haircare range that uses waste coffee grounds, and British-based Pai skincare – for the first time harnesses UHT technology (yes, just like your daily pinta). The result? No need for preservatives. It happens to be hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skins – but its gentle-on-the-planet credentials swung it, for Apicosma. £30 for 40 ml
