It’s been a while since we last blogged, and we’re going to ease ourselves in to a new season of activity ahead of 2027 with a very short post — announcing our brand new Fragrance Free Awards.
After putting the Free From Skincare Awards on temporary hiatus in 2025, following 14 brilliant years, we spent much of 2026 setting up and establishing our new feedback service, offering consumer perception trials and at-home product testing for beauty and household brands and their products, called The Beauty Testers.
But we also used the period as ‘thinking time’ from an Awards perspective.
The full story is a long one, but ends with the setting up of an awards scheme to recognise brands who make products for consumers who need to avoid one, many or all fragrances in their cosmetics and household products — and to help those people find the best products for their needs.
And if you want to know that story, rather than repeat it here now, we’ll urge you to check out our free-to-read article in Beauty Folio Magazine, where we give you the lowdown on our thinking, rationale and plans.
We open in early January, and hope many of you choose to follow us on social media and support our journey!
