And The Eluxe Awards 2024 Winners Are…
Best Up And Coming Ethical Brand
Congratulations to REMI!
This waterless beauty brand has so much going for it. Firstly, by removing water, the brand has minimised the size of their plant based products, while maximising the potency of the natural ingredients. Ultimately, the result is seriously reduced packaging and shipping.
We also loved the fact that the products are the result of regenerative farming methods.
If you’re wondering how their Moisturiser Stones work, it’s easy. Start by gliding one slowly around your eye area, then cheeks, lips and neck, to release the botanical oils. You can also use upward and outward motions as you would with a guasha stone to relax tension and promote lymphatic drainage.
Our Eluxe Awards 2024 judges said: Wow, imagine having a moisturiser that comes in the form of a crystal! It seems counter intuitive, but these are compact, innovative, beautiful products that work.
Best Vegan Skincare Brand
Congratulations to Baie Botanique!
Proving that a beauty brand can be luxurious and effective without testing on or killing animals, Baie Botanique’s skincare products deliver a healthy, glowing complexion using only top quality ingredients. But that’s not all! The brand is happy to take back any packaging to recycle it.
Their Baie Circular Recycling Scheme sends caps, pumps, bottles and other components of their packaging to a specialist recycler, Terracycle, who ensure nothing goes to landfill.
Our Eluxe Awards 2024 judges said: The fact that the founder of the brand will give you a free consultation makes this brand truly unique. It’s super easy to book online, too! But if you want some immediate recommendations, you can take their Skin Quiz in 2 minutes. I feel like the founder, Sophie, really cares about her customers. She even tries to keep prices on the lower side so everyone can access clean, potent skincare.
Best Ethical Brand of 2024
Congratulations to Fabric of Nature!
This fashion label simply couldn’t get more ethical! Fabric of Nature uses all-natural fabrics and dyes, such as those derived from eucalyptus leaves. Upcycled and recycled materials are also favoured, as the designer/owner, Tayla, deconstructs and reconstructs recycled denim and flannel that has been worn, faded and bleached from the sun. She makes each piece herself, by hand.
Our Eluxe Awards 2024 judges said: I love how Fabric of Nature demonstrates how found materials – be they discarded denims or eucalyptus leaves – can contribute to the creation of luxurious garments.
Best Sustainable Home Brand
Congratulations to Le Jardin Retrouve!
This family run, French luxury home brand creates candles, scented stem diffusers and pillow sprays. All fragrances are created using classic French perfumery, and 90 to 99% of their certified ingredients are completely natural, and ethically sourced, too.
The vegan brand also offers set of 24 beautiful oracle cards, with a guide to help you perform simple rituals at home. Each card is wonderfully illustrated with designs inspired by nature and gardens, and is named after a positive energy.
Best Ethical Fashion Brand
Congratulations to Green Embassy!
Green Embassy’s eco-fashion designs are 100% created by hand in Australia. Fabrics used are certified by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standards), the leading standards for quality assurance in organic textiles manufacturing worldwide.
Using traditional handmade techniques, these wearable pieces of art elevate slow fashion to a whole new level. In addition, the brand adheres to the highest levels of integrity around labour conditions, social justice and production practices.
Our Eluxe Awards 2024 judges said: There’s clearly a lot of thought and love that goes into these designs. It’s a shame that alpaca and merino wool are used though, as these can harm animals.
Too often sustainable brands lack style and are uninspiring.Thank you for making sustainable fashion NOT boring.
Best Vegan Brand Of The Year
Congratulations to The Organic Skin Co!
Obviously, we love that this skincare and cosmetics brand for men and women is based mainly on fully organic, plant based ingredients. But it’s also awesome thanks to its highly sustainable packaging! For example, we love their recycled aluminium tubes, bamboo caps, and compostable paper boxes. Wherever possible, the aim to avoid plastic, replacing it with glass, bamboo, and ecopulp.
Our Eluxe Awards 2024 judges said: Thank you for addressing “vegan washing”. It makes it much more difficult for buyers to find products that are vegan, sustainable, non toxic, and that actually benefit the skin.
The eco tips that pop up on the site are cute and useful for online shoppers. I love the one about finding a tailor to transform old clothing into something fresh and current, for example.
