CEW Reveals Beauty Awards Winners for 2025

The Supplier's Award for Ingredients & Formulation presented by NYSCC went to Algaktiv Exometics G.

The CEW Beauty Awards honored this year’s standout beauty products, brands and industry leaders who propelled the global beauty industry forward.

The highly anticipated 2025 event—held on Nov. 11 in NYC—brought together top executives, founders, retailers, suppliers and tastemakers in support of CEW’s mission to empower and advance women through excellence and innovation.

The program culminated in the winners’ luncheon, marking the finale of CEW’s year-long series of signature events and initiatives spotlighting progress across every sector of the industry.

“This is so much more than an awards ceremony,” said Carlotta Jacobson, President of CEW. “The CEW Beauty Awards are an opportunity for the industry to gather and celebrate the very best of what we do. The room is buzzing and electric. Together, we connect as a community and applaud those who are setting new standards, driving innovation, and embodying the shared values of CEW members.”

This year’s program crowned 37 winners, selected from more than 270 finalists across categories including skincare, makeup, fragrance and haircare.

As the only beauty awards program powered by industry peers through a rigorous and trusted selection process by CEW’s Finalist Nominating Committee – comprised of a diverse group of executives, entrepreneurs, industry insiders, editors and social influencers – the CEW Beauty Awards represent the industry’s highest honor and ultimate recognition in beauty.
