Best newcomer wellness brand or range launched Jan 2022 to March 2023
Gold: Love Liposomal Ltd Liposomal Magnesium, £31.99
“Liposomal supplements offer a greater degree of bioavailability – I especially love the magnesium, it tastes great, the bottle is chic and so many of us need more magnesium these days as in times of stress we burn it up faster," says judge Poppy Delbridge.
Silver: Luna Daily, £10-£18
Bronze: The Herbtender, £30-£35
Best natural deodorant
Gold: Glossier Deodorant, £18
“A natural winner, I put it on first thing in the morning at 6am and it still lasted at 6pm at night after a day of workouts.

Gold: Feel Multivitamin, one off £33.90/subscription, £16.95
“This was a clear winner for clean, high-quality ingredients in good doses with no bulking agents, clear messaging on the website and value for money. It’s more than a standard multi, with phytonutrients such as spirulina, plus turmeric, reishi mushroom, antioxidants, liver support and ingredients that help the absorption of other nutrients. Great for nutrition newbies and anyone looking to support all-round health,” says, judge Daniel O’Shaughnessy.

Bronze: Savy Wellness Daily Hero, £49
Best eco hero product, range or brand
Gold: Bramley Compostable Refill Pouches, £14
“Bramley’s easy-to-use Refill Pouches could be a blueprint across the industry for how to offer refills in a convenient way for the consumer and sustainable way for the brand. Bramley’s refill system makes things doable, so long as customers realise they can't bulk buy their refills in advance as the packaging will quickly begin to break down – which of course it’s meant to! The brand's formulations are 100 per cent natural which gets a thumbs-up from me," says, judge Jasmine Hemsley.

Bronze: Ovum Early Detection Pregnancy Tests, £19
Best classic wellness brand or product

Best product for mood
Gold: Tea & Tonic High Spirits Body Oil, £39
“High Spirits Body Oil has active botanicals fortified with adaptogen super herbs which are of adequate potency to have an effect on your mood. Because of the fatty acids, it makes your skin look lovely - so you not only get an olfactory boost but a visual one as well. The act of massaging it into your skin gives an oxytocin (the love hormone) boost too. The olfactory nerve goes straight to the emotional centres of the brain. Of all the products this boosted my mood the quickest,” says judge Dr Tara Swart.

Bronze: Nest New York Wild Mint & Eucalyptus Diffuser, £56
Best 40+ or menopause wellness product
Gold: Peep Club Instant Relief Eye Spray, £15
“Low oestrogen causes dryness everywhere, and so many women suffer from dry eyes. If you are squeamish about eye drops or just want something really convenient and portable this is great. You just spray it on your eyelids to moisturise the skin and the eyes themselves. It instantly gets rid of that grittiness. I have one in my handbag and one next to my bed” says, judge Emma Bardwell.
Silver: Modibodi Sensual Hi-Waist Bikini Moderate/ Heavy, £22.50
Bronze: Issviva x Joylux Device, £299
Best for energy
Gold: Montgomery + Evelyn Energy Me, £19.50
“A really well thought through blend for mood and energy, this contains amino acids for making neurotransmitters that regulate mood. I like the addition of a probiotic as your gut health is linked to mood and energy via the gut-brain axis. It has B vitamins that convert food to energy and that deplete in times of stress. I like the sincerity of the supplement made by a British psychologist who uses nutritional therapy as part of her practice,” says judge Rob Hobson.
Silver: Hayo'u Method Body Drummer, £38
Bronze: Beauty Pie For Jugglers, typical price £60 members' price £22
Best CBD product (topical or ingestible)

This has 1000mcg of CBD bottle, which is a good strength for most people - and you can tailor your dose depending on how many drops you use,” says judge Charlotte Faure Green.
Silver: Manuka Pharm High Strength CBD Oil With Manuka Honey 1000mg, £25
Bronze: Dreem Distillery Night Drops, £160
Best destress helper
Gold: Oskia Moon Salts, £68

Silver: Wuka Wear Period Pants, £12 - £24.99
Bronze: Vella Women’s Pleasure Serum, £59
Best home wellness scent or home scent accessory
Gold: Nest New York Himalayan Salt & Rosewater Diffuser, £56
“Not just a scent but a stylish room accessory too. Sometimes diffusers look like they should be in the loo, but feels curated both in optics and aroma. The scents throw really well across the room, they don’t feel synthetic or headache-inducingly strong. You get a lot of bang for your buck too,” says judge Madeleine Spencer.

Best collagen supplement

Bronze: Dose & Co Pure Collagen Peptides, £26.99
Editor's picks
Gold: M Powder Peri-Boost, £63.75
“This is more than simply a well-formulated health powder, it’s the chance to be part of an entire community of women and experts navigating the perimenopause and menopause, pooling wisdom and offering support with online workshops and events. Peri-Boost was one of the first wellness products to own the term 'perimenopause' and help this little-understood life stage become part of the mainstream conversation,” says GTG Editorial Director, Victoria Woodhall.
