Delicious Living Magazine Announces 2012 Beauty & Body Award Winners

BOULDER, Colo.  - Delicious Living magazine, a trusted health and wellness resource for more than 25 years, announces the winners of its third annual Beauty & Body Awards. 

Delicious Living initiated the awards to educate consumers—increasingly interested in health and sustainability—on high-performance natural personal care products that also support their ethos.

“This year, the awards are more inspiring than ever, demonstrating that responsible business practices and innovative, efficacious products can earn our trust and ultimately transform the personal care industry,” said Jessica Rubino, beauty editor of Delicious Living magazine. “We wanted this year’s categories to truly reflect a growing movement toward natural living, not just highlight cool products.”

The winning lineup includes standout products in key categories such as skin, hair, and nails, as well as cosmetics manufacturers that prove leadership, advocacy, and industry influence.

To determine the winners, Delicious Living’s editorial team assessed products and companies that exhibited at Natural Products Expo East and/or West, factoring in certifications, sustainable business practices, research-backed ingredients, efficacy, industry longevity, and more.
