Natural Solutions 5th Annual Beauty with a Conscience Award Winners released

EAGAN, Minn. - Dec. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about the content of personal-care products applied to their bodies. However, the sheer volume of products available combined with the current lack of transparency offered by the majority of products commonly leaves most conscientious consumers feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. To help individuals make the best selections for meeting their personal-care product needs, Natural Solutions magazine (www.naturalsolutionsmag.com) has announced the winners of its fifth annual Beauty With a Conscience (BWAC) awards.

Hazardous impurities may exist in more than 80% of products currently on the market, according to The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. With this in mind, Natural Solutions’ BWAC awards play a significant role in identifying high-quality products free of carcinogens, toxins, fragrance, or contaminants for consumers.

This year's BWAC awards recognize 52 products by over 30 companies known for producing products that are safe, effective, and of the highest quality. Choosing the best of the best from the myriad of personal care products in the marketplace is not an easy task. The product awards are divided among a range of categories such as skin care, hair care, lip balms, anti-aging products, bar soaps, body lotions and oils, hand creams, and shower gels.

The editors at Natural Solutions—along with noted health writers and experts—have picked their favorite personal care products based on ingredients, uniqueness, popularity, reader feedback, and product reviews. The winners have been organized into an easy-to-use directory, creating an ultimate guide to natural personal care products. Readers can review this year's Awards in the December/January 2014 print issue of Natural Solutions or online at naturalsolutionsmag.com.

"I always look forward to the BWAC issue, when we share these award-winning products with our readers," says Dick Benson, Editor in Chief. "Chosen not only by experts, but with feedback from the people who actually use them, they truly represent the best in natural personal care products today."

This program has been very popular among readers and manufacturers, as well as independent natural product retailers. Retailers have noted that the BWAC awards can help increase sales by raising brand awareness and by acting as a catalyst, encouraging readers to try new products. “Educating consumers about safe, effective products is a significant part of Natural Solutions’ mission,” says Benson. “With consumers increasingly voicing concern about the quality of the products we apply to our body, we believe the BWAC award program is a valuable benefit to our readers.”
