Best Clean Beauty of 2020—The Winners

Winners of the 2019/2020 CertClean Clean Beauty Awards have been unveiled. Read on to find out who they are!

Give your eyes a rest from reading all of those product labels, CertClean and 127 of my fellow clean beauty judges and I tried and tested some of the industry’s best across 21 categories. Below are those products that came out on top across skincare, haircare, makeup and more.

A whopping 371 products were entered the 5th Clean Beauty Awards, vying for the ultimate stamp of approval — the CertClean first, second or third place seal.

I had the honour of judging the best of the best from some incredible clean deodorants from conscious-minded companies, from around the world. It wasn’t an easy job, because each had attributes that performed incredibly well.

You may want to make way in your make up bag for these 63 superb beauty brands that put health and performance before anything else.

It is an honour to be part of, and associated with, this forward-thinking Awards program. If you have a clean beauty brand that you would like to submit for the 2021 Awards, please contact CertClean.

If you have your very own clean beauty brand favourite, please share in the comments.
