JustBe Botanicals First Skincare Awards
There are moments in building a small business that you never forget. For JustBe Botanicals, March 2014 was one of them.
We received our first ever skincare award wins: two Ultimate Natural Beauty Bible Awards for the Eye Makeup Remover and Cleansing Balm.
The Ultimate Natural Beauty Bible is published as a beautiful hardback book, the go-to guide for discovering the very best in natural skincare, created by leading beauty experts Josephine Fairley and Sarah Stacey. To find JustBe Botanicals in its pages, sitting alongside brands including ESPA and Elemis was such a highlight.
What The Beauty Bible & Judges Said
JustBe Cleansing Balm
"A new range to is of artisan aromatherapy products made in Scotland. It's 100 per cent natural, but not organically certifies (N.B. JustBe's Eye Makeup Remover also did well on page 81.) Coconut oil, coconut butter and beeswax feature and there;s a lovely fragrance from pure geranium and petitgrain essential oils. And yet another muslin cloth..."
The recognition came from real testers, people who had used the products every day for a month and written their honest responses. These are their words:
"Perfect for my difficult, dry skin, leaving it refreshed, cleansed, clarifies but not tight or dry"
"I simply love this, I feel like I'm having a nice facial every time I apply the warm cloth to my face. Will buy from now on."
"Smelt like walking through an English cottage garden: pleasant to inhale at night."
JustBe Eye Makeup Remover
"From an artisan aromatherapy brand that's new to us, created by Scottish aromatherapist (Gail Bryden), this soft balm-like remover is designed to be squeezed onto a damp cotton pad before gliding over the eyes."
"The balm texture makes all the difference: very efficient at removing eye makeup, and it almost felt like I was pampering my eyes; luxurious indeed."
"This remover, in its hygienic pump, has become a favourite of mine, it's almost like an eye treatment in itself."
Two Products That Started an Awards Journey
These two wins were the beginning of something that has never really stopped. The Eye Makeup Remover has gone on to become our most awarded product, recognised by the FreeFrom Skincare Awards, the Beauty Shortlist and the Beauty Awards with OK! Magazine. The Cleansing Balm was later featured in Vogue's All Star Glamour issue and has been endorsed by Caroline Hirons, one of the UK's most trusted skincare voices.
Both products are still loved and made with the same natural ingredients.
With Enormous Gratitude for the Support
To everyone who supported JustBe in those early years, who tried the products, left reviews and shared the word, these first awards belong to you as much as they do to us. You are the reason they were noticed.
