While the final deadline isn't until September, submit your entry(ies) to the Cosmetics & Toiletries (C&T) Allē Awards before Aug. 24, 2023, to be included (with your permission) for free in the awards "sneak peek" in the Cosmetics & Toiletries (C&T) Nov./Dec. issue. The feature will highlight your company name, submission title and a brief description just for participating!
The C&T Allē Awards, presented by the magazine and parent company Allured Business Media, bring behind-the-scenes ingenuity in cosmetics and personal care R&D into the spotlight. The Allēs honor the scientific discipline, formulating skills, resourcefulness and creativity of innovators across the cosmetics R&D process — from active and base ingredients, chassis/blends and finished formulas (indie, mass and prestige), to testing methods and tools, commercial devices and digital technologies (B2C and B2B).
See the awards page for additional information.
