Announcing Our 2011 Organic Beauty Talk Award Winners

We’re so excited to announce our first ever annual Organic Beauty Talk Award Winners in the categories of Skincare, Makeup, Body, Hair, Men, Children, Fashion, Home, and Pets since we launched in May 2011. At Organic Beauty Talk, we’re passionate about you knowing what’s in your products, caring what goes on your skin, and connecting you with brands that have the best organic, natural, vegan, and eco-friendly choices. This translates into us researching and trying hundreds of products throughout the year that are sent to us from around the world. Since we only review what we consider “best” or high performing products, our awards process was tough. But even amongst all of the great products that we get to experience, there were those that rose to the top and stood out amongst the rest. We feel fortunate and appreciative to work with some of the greatest organic, natural, vegan, and eco-friendly brands out there and are grateful for the opportunity to be entrusted with their products. Here’s our list of the best of the best. You’ll find some categories listed by individual products and some as a whole product line. You’ll also find a variety of price points (without sacrificing performance) as we stand by the belief that going organic and natural doesn’t have to mean breaking the bank (and we should know because we’ve done it for over 10 years).  We say thank you to all of the brands that we work with throughout the year for making such great sustainable products and of course, a great big CONGRATULATIONS to our 2011 Organic Beauty Talk Award Winners!
