How Judging Works

Each submission to the Beauty Innovation Awards is carefully reviewed and evaluated by an independent panel of experts. Our goal is to identify the most innovative, effective and forward-thinking products, services and companies that are driving progress in the beauty industry.

Evaluation Criteria

All entries are judged based on the following criteria:

  • Innovation – Does the entry represent a unique advancement or original concept?
  • Performance – How well does the product or solution deliver on its promise?
  • Functionality – Is it designed with user needs and experience in mind?
  • Aesthetics – Does the entry reflect thoughtful, attractive and modern design?
  • Impact – How does the innovation improve beauty routines, outcomes or access?

Submissions are not judged against one another. Each entry is evaluated on its own merit based on the criteria above.
