Gold
Lyonsleaf, Hot Cloth Cleansing Revitalising Kit
Components: Beauty Balm, Two muslin cloths, face flannel.
As a ‘stocking filler’ introduction to Lyonsleaf, this is just perfect: a hot cloth cleanse with their legendary beauty balm has converted many to a new way of cleansing, and we suspect many will be following suit this winter when the chill starts to bite!
Silver
AEOS, Starter Kit Blue
Components: 3ml sample sizes of Cleansing Oil dé-Maq, Dew Facial Wash, Gentle Cleansing Lotion Blue, Gentle Exfoliant Blue, Energising Conditioner, Refreshing Hydrating Mist, Realive Serum and Enriching Moisturiser Blue.
Such an affordable collection of some of AEOS’s finest products, including former Free From Skincare Awards Gold Winner Realive Serum, and multiple previous medalling Cleansing Oil dé-Maq. Brilliant way to trial-before-buying, and beautifully and elegantly presented in slide-out box and sleeve.
BeeInspired, Christmas Cracker
Components: Age Embracing Face Cream, Cuticle & Nail Balm
The cracker is such a simple but effective idea, we’re surprised not more brands are doing it! Never mind: Alison is, and this is a nice duo in a compact format in which you may only expect to find one, not two, products … so that’s an added bonus! (And if you like the cracker idea, but want different contents, Alison can do this for you … See the previous Gold winner in the Free From Gift Awards 2020 here.)
Crazy Rumors, Festive Mix (4 lip balm assorted set)
Components: 4 lip balms, with a festive theme!
Judges really liked seeing a very small-sized stocking filler which might not ‘fill’ a stocking much physically, but packs a lot of punch in terms of Christmas cheer and bold personality, so will do so ’emotionally’! — and still coming in at a very affordable price, well under £20. Flavours are Cinnamon Bun, Hot Cocoa, Gingerbread and Peppermint Twist, and we just couldn’t think of any recipient who wouldn’t be happy with this festive, fun and cheering gift, which can always be shared if four are just a few too many! Simply delightful.
Bronze
Lyonsleaf, Natural Skincare Solutions 04
Components: Unfragranced Beauty Balm, Zinc & Calendula Cream, Muslin Face Cloth, Face Flannel
A compact but fully packed box of two Lyonsleaf favourites — which between them have won multiple medals at the main Free From Skincare Awards over the years. The thoughtful addition of two (different) cloths really elevate this to a ‘proper’ gift, which works well as a stocking filler. Ideal for the Lyonsleaf fan, or anyone with sensitive skin in need of a fragrance-free treat.
