Biteable Beauty Awards WINNER!

Biteable Beauty Winner's AwardHot on the heels of our recent success in the Beauty Shortlist awards, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve gone all the way in the Biteable Beauty Awards! Our gorgeous Siam Roots Skin Conditioner with Lemongrass & Ginger recently WON the best body oil category – and we couldn’t be happier!

Biteable Beauty is an award-winning blog dedicated to natural and organic products across the beauty, health and lifestyle sectors. It is run by Rebecca Goodyear, who also owns a boutique PR agency specialising in natural products. Well respected as an industry expert and thought leader, she has featured in the Who’s Who of Natural Beauty list for the past four years. She certainly knows her stuff and her opinions really count.

What a beauty

 

Siam Roots skin conditioner blends four organic oils – jojoba, sweet almond, grape seed and sesame – with the typically Thai scents of lemongrass, ginger and plai to create a deeply hydrating skin oil with a fresh, uplifting scent. 98% of the total ingredients are organic, and the product has been certified by COSMOS.

Other winning brands include Bodhi & Birch, JĀSÖN and Green People, so we are in excellent company and are very proud that our small indie brand is getting the recognition it deserves in the UK!

Shave Oil makes finals of Beauty Shortlist Awards

Shave oil - finalist in the Beauty Shortlist awards

Although well established in Thailand and southeast Asia, the Siam Botanicals brand is relatively new to the UK and the EU, where the natural skincare industry is growing rapidly. A few months ago, we decided to put our head above the parapet by entering a couple of our top-selling products into the Beauty Shortlist Awards. The Beauty Shortlist is one of the UK’s top beauty blogs, so it was a good opportunity for us to increase awareness of our products and reach more potential customers who are interested in natural and organic skincare.

All the winners were announced last week – see the full list here – and we were thrilled to discover that our Gentlemen of Siam Shave Oil had been made a finalist in the ‘Best Shaving Product’ category!

We’re giving ourselves a little pat on the back – and we might even pour ourselves a nice glass of something fizzy!

OK, so we didn’t win an actual gong – this time – but for a newcomer entering awards in the UK for the first time, it’s a real achievement to make the shortlist, especially when other entrants include such mega brands as Liz Earle (owned by Walgreens Boots Alliance), REN (owned by Unilever), Neal’s Yard (founded in 1981) and Weleda (which is represented in over 50 countries).

We’re keen to build on this important breakthrough – and we have some exciting plans in the pipeline, which include another foray into the world of awards and an industry event. Watch this space for details…!
