On 21st April, Event Director Melina Viking and Digital Content Manager Sharna Waid headed to the Organic Beauty Awards (organised by NOC Sweden) in Stockholm. Melina and Sharna were invited to have a stand alongside the awards to help promote the Natural Beauty Show and help meet new retailers and influencers in Stockholm. Melina was also invited to present an award on stage.

On their stand, the team ran a competition where visitors had to blind test a range of essential oils to win a VIP ticket to attend the Natural Beauty Show (or a spot in the new influencer programme). Sharna commented, “The ‘SMELL TO WIN’ Competition was a huge success and helped with important networking.”  

For the 5th year running, Natural Beauty & Health Show sponsored the award for the Best New Product category at the Organic Beauty Awards. The shortlisted brands were Maria Åkerberg, Whamisa, Organics By Sara and Wise. And the winner was….
