FOR HAIR & NAIL PRODUCTS CATEGORY WINS STREAMLINE BEAUTY INDIA PVT LTD (India)
With its multiple benefits – spanning enhanced shine, smoothness, and protection, acting as a gloss, leave-in conditioner, frizz controller, hydration sealer, and heat protectant, all while providing a glass-like finish – jurors pronounced this hair product as “[aligning] perfectly with current trends in glossy hair, lightweight styling, [protection,] and care.” Among the formula’s ingredients are raspberry seed oil to lock in moisture and shield from UV damage; jojoba oil to protect against heat damage; keratin to repair and restore hair’s natural structure; and collagen to boost hair strength and elasticity.
Developed with consumer insights and salon testing, the panel also pointed to the product’s proven claims. In third-party tests, the mist demonstrated a 62% increase in hair manageability; a 71% increase in hair shine; a 62% increase in hair smoothness; an 84% reduction in hair frizz; and an 80% reduction in hair dryness. The mist is designed for all hair types, and for use both at home and in salons. It can be used before styling, as a style finisher, or for a hair refresh. One juror billed the mist as an “interesting multi-use product [that] can replace many products, [in turn] saving time and being more sustainable.”
FOR SKIN CARE PRODUCTS CATEGORY WINS REWIND LAB (South Korea)
When assessing this sun protection stick infused with sebum-absorbing powders and antioxidant-rich green apple extract, jurors liked how it represented innovation both in the sun care and acne care categories, noting that it offers “unusually strong sebum control benefits.” Fusing long-lasting UV protection with a matte finish, the stick’s ingredients include quercetin-rich green apple extract to defend against free radicals and skin aging while the sebum-absorbing powders reduce skin oiliness by up to 122%.
And the stick’s mineral-based formula, with both titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, offers broad-spectrum SPF protection. The panel pointed out that the product captures “trendy ingredients, benefits, [and] usage matching [a] Gen Z attitude.” The stick offers a mess-free application, feels light and non-sticky on the skin, and is infused with a green apple fragrance. It’s also hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic and is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
FOR PERSONAL CARE, BODY CARE PRODUCTS, FRAGRANCE CATEGORY WINS BRAND501 Corp. (South Korea)
“Finally, the focus is on issues such as body acne [and] strawberry skin,” said one juror in praise of this skin-brightening body care product. The formula brings a skin care approach to body care with 99% high-purity kojic acid and turmeric extract which act together to even the skin tone rapidly and effectively.
The formula also spotlights a gentle exfoliating complex composed of the AHA citric acid and the PHA gluconolactone for safe resurfacing, while allowing the active ingredients of kojic acid and turmeric extract to penetrate deeper without irritation.
Indeed, jurors liked that the product combines “high potency ingredients in a mist format.” It’s also infused with a multivitamin blend of B complex, C and E vitamins to restore the skin barrier, smooth skin texture, and support lasting radiance.
The panel additionally appreciated the fine mist texture, calling it “convenient” and noting that it “[reaches] all body parts easily.” The formula, which is sprayed onto dry skin, rubbed in, then rinsed with water, combats dark spots, body acne, rough texture, and uneven tone in a single treatment. “A product that I can imagine I would easily…integrate in my day-to-day self-care ritual,” said one juror.
