Since 2022, I’ve had the incredible honor of serving as a CEW Beauty Awards Judge for the Ingredient Category. It’s been a privilege to work alongside some of the most knowledgeable and passionate professionals in the beauty industry, diving deep into the cutting-edge innovations that shape the products we all know and love.
As judges, we get a front-row seat to the latest ingredient breakthroughs hitting the market. From revolutionary actives to sustainable sourcing techniques, every submission brings something new to the table. But what I love most are the thoughtful discussions we have about each innovation’s true merit—how it performs, its potential impact on the industry, and the science behind the magic.
Being part of this process has not only deepened my appreciation for the art and science of cosmetic formulation, but it’s also been an inspiring reminder of how innovation continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in beauty. It’s more than just judging—it’s about celebrating the creativity and hard work that drives our industry forward.
