Delicious Living Magazine Announces 2017 Beauty & Body Award Winners

BOULDER, Colo. (Jan. 24, 2017) Delicious Living magazine, a trusted health and wellness resource for more than 32 years, announces the winners of its eighth annual Beauty & Body Awards. Delicious Living initiated these awards to educate consumers on the claims and benefits of natural beauty and body care in a market increasingly saturated with new products and-and often conflicting-natural and green claims.

"This year's award winners are leading a growing movement in the beauty industry: a shift toward products that support environmental sustainability and consumers' health," says Jessica Rubino, senior beauty editor of Delicious Living magazine. "These companies were founded on that mission, and their innovative, efficacious products prove that nontoxic ingredients can deliver high performance."

To determine the winners, Delicious Living's editorial team called on manufacturers to nominate products for consideration. More than 200 products were tested and judged based on efficacy, ingredient integrity, and social and sustainability efforts, but only 24 were tapped as winners within their categories.
