These sponsor-free, ad-free international awards celebrate the most-loved natural beauty, baby, natural health and eco home products created by ethical brands, tested by experts.

This year’s global panel included lead judges Katie Hill, founder of eco living magazine My Green Pod distributed digitally and quarterly with The Guardian to over 6 million readers, Holly Spierings, creative director of Australian natural makeup brand Eye of Horus and New York based makeup artist and wellness consultant Denise del Russo (Marie Claire, Teen Vogue, Essence Magazine).

The results of the  9th Free From Skincare Awards were also announced this week, on Tuesday 21st July 2020. This followed a long judging process which included a rigorous month-long assessment by four experienced skincare testers, and concluded with round-table expert judging sessions. Pure Lakes Skincare were congratulated again, with the silver award in the Hand, Nail and Footcare category. 

The Panelists said the product was a  “Perfect scent for a hand product … rich, luxurious and calming … Absorbs into skin really well … My hands are the smoothest they have ever been … Definitely improved after a month … My hands are quite hard-working and have had some rough and hardened patches, which have now softened thanks to this … Have bookmarked the Pure Lakes website to buy again … It’s perfect”

These Europe-wide Awards were founded to encourage and reward manufacturers of skincare products that are ‘free from’ many of the allergens, chemicals, additives and fragrances associated with skin sensitivities, allergies, and ethical, environmental and health concerns something that Pure Lakes have always had deeply rooted in its foundations since commencing business in 2006.

Claire Mckeever, Owner of Pure Lakes said “We are on a high having won these incredibly prestigious awards. During lockdown we decided to donate our Hydrating Hand Balm to NHS teams throughout Cumbria because we knew how effective this product can be on dry hands, most especially those that are continually washed and sanitised, and wanted to do our bit to help. It is truly wonderful for this amazing product to be recognised not just once but twice in a week.”

They make their products in small batches and supply shops and hotels throughout the Lake District, and beyond.
