Meet the Winners of the 2018 Eluxe Awards

By Diane Small

It was a greatly anticipated and carefully planned event, but the Eluxe Awards were tough going this year – there were more brands and categories than ever to choose from, our People’s Choice vote garnered so many votes it made our site go down for a bit, and to top it all off, our editor got called to South America just weeks before our awards event, so she thought it’d be best to cancel it.

Nonetheless, this year’s Eluxe Awards attracted unprecedented interest and have ended up bestowing honours on seriously worthy brands. Which brands you ask? Just look at our 2017 winners, below!

Many thanks to our fabulous judges: fashion designer Andrea Brocca, TV personality Vanessa Rae; young entrepreneur, TED talker and Oprah favourite Maya S. Penn; Bespoke Black Book editor Lady Charlotte Lynham, major beauty influencer Britanie Faith, international top model and green fashion advocate Daniela Christiansson, and of course, our editor, Chere Di Boscio.

For more information for next year’s event, to attend as a guest, or to nominate a brand, please email here, or just keep your eyes on Eluxe next autumn!

Best natural hair products: Tabitha James Kraan

“I find that the quality of Tabitha James Kraan’s products are extraordinary! I especially love the Scented Organic Hair Oil. The unique signature scent is addictive with essential oils of rose, neroli and lemon. It’s one of my favourite hair oils of all time!” – Britanie Faith.

Best organic beauty brand: AEOS

“I love how AEOS puts a great deal of thought and effort into cultivating the environments, ecosystems, and energies that go into the creation of the end product. They really handle their resources with care, and that adds to the experience the consumer gets.” – Maya S. Penn

Best eco luxury travel agency: The Kind Traveller

“I love when a brand not only offers a superior service, but when they give back to social causes, it’s a win win for me. The Kind Traveler is a socially conscious agency (the first of it’s kind), that allows the traveler to give a $10 nightly donation to a local charity that positively impacts the neighborhood where you are traveling to. They refer to themselves as the ‘Give + Get’ hotel booking platform.” – Britanie Faith
