We were absolutely over the moon to win the award for 'Best Organic Beauty Brand' in the Marie Claire Sustainability Awards 2024.
The Marie Claire awards celebrate ground-breaking products, innovative business models, and leaders truly going to extra mile to build a better tomorrow. For over three decades, Marie Claire have been championing brands who walk the walk and talk the talk when it comes to safeguarding our future on this precious planet.
With each year that passes, the importance of living more sustainably becomes more vital - and, with this in mind, they rigorously judge every entry to make sure the companies and products that have come out tops are ones you can trust.
Who? Born from the founder’s decade-long work with local communities in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuadorian Amazon and Peru, Nunaïa is a superfood skincare brand built on the understanding of helping not hindering ancestral land and resources.
Why? The brand uses a regenerative skincare business model, strengthening its entire supply chain using ethical sourcing. It has several certifications, including COSMOS Organic, Leaping Bunny and vegan.
“Nunaia has shown itself to be a real pioneer when it comes to being a sustainable brand. Its use of innovative mycelium packaging – which is completely compostable – is great,” says Tracey. “It has committed to getting its fabrics GOTS-certified (Global Organic Textile Standard), meaning they will undergo pesticide residue and other chemical testing to ensure the materials really are ‘organic’.
“It has also had some strong social impacts and is committed to making a positive impact in the regions it sources its ingredients from, going above and beyond what other companies might do,” she continues. “A real stand-out brand when it comes not just to a commitment to organic, but an all-around commitment to making the world a better place.”
