Australia’s most innovative producers in the natural health space have been lauded with top honours at this year’s inaugural 2022 Naturally Good Awards.
Held at Sydney’s ICC on 3 June, at a gala cocktail event, a multitude of exhibitors applied for the awards, which were then whittled down to the most outstanding nominees.
Winners included Beter Confectionary for Best Food Product, Angove Naturalis Organic for Best Beverage Product, and Ethique for Best Beauty & Cosmetics Product.
Naturally Good Product Manager, Sinead Kavanagh, said the quality of entrants was outstanding.
“We wanted to recognise the products and brands that are moving and shaking the industry in a celebration of all things natural, organic and healthy,” she said.
“The level of innovation and dedication that all the nominees have displayed is simply outstanding and is a reflection of just how far the industry has come.
“We hope in the years following this particular part of the expo grows and grows, as becoming an award winner may be the industry stamp that accelerates organic growth for recipients.”
