It gives us great pleasure to announce that after months of judging and scrutinising the best of the best of the wellness world, the results of the Get The Gloss Wellness Awards 2026 are finally here. And we can honestly say, this year’s winners are the most impressive lineup we’ve ever seen.
If you’ve ever stood in the supplement aisle feeling utterly lost, wondered whether that pricey collagen is actually doing anything, or spent far too long asking ChatGPT, which natural deodorant won’t let you down, these are the wellness buys you need to know about.
As always, we recruited an exceptional panel of 21 experts – nutritionists, personal trainers, gynaecologists, menopause doctors, aesthetic experts and wellness journalists — to be our judges, many of whom are members of our Gloss Book directory. These are all people who know their stuff, who understand the science, and who will ensure only the best make the cut.
And now the gold, silver, bronze and finalist badges have been awarded. If you missed the online ceremony, you can watch it below. Each category features a video from the relevant judge, revealing why their winner stood out from the many entries in their category. The winners are announced in the order listed below.
What do we do with all our testers?
Rest assured, nothing goes to waste! We give our testers to our one-woman charity funnel, presenter and playwright Matilda Velevitch. She supports women facing migration issues and cultural barriers to entering the workforce through charities such as Care For Calais, which looks after people stuck in the asylum processing system with access only to the very basics.
She worked out that these women needed not only the basic toiletries, but training and work placement, so she created a plant-based social enterprise Nine Kitchens, loved by the likes of musician Brian Eno, LVMH and numerous NGOs, to do just that in the hospitality industry. To date, Get The Gloss has funded 18 intensive training places to help participants gain catering and hospitality qualifications to start their working lives in the UK, via the Awards’ entries product sales. If you need event catering, please check out Nine Kitchens – their meals, cooked by refugees using authentic recipes from their home countries, are delicious.
If you’re a winner or finalist, please download your free-to-use badge and tell your community of your triumph. Tag us in #gettheglossawards @getthegloss, and we’ll share the love. Congratulations all!
THE 2026 FINALISTS CATEGORIES:
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Tom Smith, hair stylist: “A healthful reimagination of two staple supplements, collagen and creatine, with the barriers to entry and compliance cleverly removed by making them ultra-accessible and transparent. These are powders that you can easily add to any hot and cold drink – I throw them into my coffee and I’m done! I love the simple scoops and clear jars too.”
Best classic wellness brand or product
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Lisa Oxenham, beauty director, writer and content creator: “Neal’s Yard Remedies didn’t just join the wellness conversation but has helped shape it over decades, since its launch in 1981. In terms of integrity and sustainability leadership, it was well ahead of its time. I currently can’t get enough of its Wild Rosehip Beauty Balm – it’s so luxurious and calming, I apply it to my face five times a day!”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Jasmine Hemsley, sustainability wellbeing expert: “A beautiful example of sustainability in practice, the Hayo’u Facial Brush blends traditional techniques with responsibly sourced natural materials for powerful yet ultra-gentle skincare. Handcrafted by highly skilled visually impaired artisans, it’s a sensuous wellness tool designed to last a lifetime.”
WINNER’S MENTION: WINNER’S MENTION:Says judge Olivia Falcon, beauty journalist and founder of The Editor’s List: “Built by women for women with a strong slant on sustainable materials, these running slippers are super comfortable, supportive and put a spring in your step.”
WINNER’S MENTION: WINNER’S MENTION:Says judge Dr Raj Arora, GP and aesthetics expert: “Correxiko stands out in this category as it’s an ethically sourced marine collagen powder, with a foundation in gastroenterology. It’s priced fairly and flavourless, so easy to use and to stick with for great results for skin, joints and gut health.”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Dr Jessica Halliley, aesthetic doctor: “I can’t tell you how long this self-heating eye mask stays warm because I dropped off so quickly after putting it on! It’s incredibly relaxing. The heat and the calming aroma help ease tired eyes and facial tension, and – at under £4 – it’s a total bargain. Clever.”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Gudiya Dagur Patel, nutritionist and health coach: “A considered mix of the nutrients women need every day for energy, immune support and general nutrition. Easy to mix, tastes good, and the price is highly competitive for the sheer number of top-quality ingredients.”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Dr Christine Hall, aesthetic doctor: “This addresses the commonest deficiencies – vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, and iron, with evidence-based wholefood ingredients that are easily absorbed, which is what a good supplement should do.”
Best non-tech wellness or fitness product
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Caroline Idiens, personal trainer: “I was really impressed at how this silk pillowcase protected my hair and skin while I was sleeping. My hair is prone to damage but I’ve noticed less breakage as a result.”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Nadia Alibhai, osteopath: “I loved this because as soon as I put it on, my skin just drank it up, but also left it feeling so soft and smooth with no oily or greasy residue. The quality of the ingredients is amazing, it doesn’t contain any nasties, and it’s a brilliant accessible price point.”
Best longevity supplement
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Dr Paris Acharya, aesthetic doctor: “Primeadine helps to target the 12 hallmarks of ageing by creating autophagy, getting rid of damaged cells and recycling them (the same as happens in fasting) for all-over cellular renewal. This one packet is likely to last at least three months, making it competitively priced in this field. As it’s a tasteless powder, it’s easy to take the required half teaspoon a day.”
Best functional mushroom product
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Daniel O’Shaughnessy, nutritionist: “This is the standout entry in almost all criteria. The use of fruiting body only is important, since mycelium-on-grain products are common in this space and significantly dilute beta-glucan content. Triple extraction (water, alcohol, ultrasonic-assisted) is genuinely above the market standard and maximises availability. Soil Association certification is a meaningful third-party quality signal, not just a marketing badge. Miron violet glass and mycelium packaging show considered sustainability thinking rather than a token gesture.”
Best perimenopause/menopause support
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Dr Fionnuala Barton, menopause Doctor: “This stood out as a totally novel solution to a problem that I have experienced myself, and that comes up in clinic all the time, ‘where am I in my perimenopause journey?’ It provides personalised insights on how to support health and wellbeing across your cycle to help decision-making and optimise how you are feeling. It’s CE-marked and backed by high-quality research.”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Dr Christine Hall, aesthetic doctor: “Affordable, with a good number of clinically backed strains that are stable at room temperature for two years. It’s one that I’ve used for years myself, especially when travelling, and recommend it to my patients.”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Gudiya Dagur Patel, nutritionist and health coach: “A smart, targeted formula supporting gum and teeth health while helping to rebalance the oral microbiome. Convenient chewables you can use anytime that leave you with fresher breath. They’re handy as a mouth freshener too, before meetings and sudden plans out.”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Charlotte Faure Green, nutritionist: “Using HRT patch technology for slow and gentle delivery of caffeine and green tea extract provides sustained, clear-headed focus, clarity and cognition. Great for unmedicated women with ADHD and busy people juggling all life throws at us.”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Dr Jessica Halliley, aesthetic doctor: “This patch stood out because the transdermal delivery system is something a bit different. Most of us have a limit to how many vitamin and supplement pills we can take each morning and this method is also ideal for those with digestive issues. I was also impressed by the decent mix of immunity-supporting ingredients, including ginseng, echinacea and vitamin C.”
Best aromatherapy product/functional fragrance
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Alice du Parcq, journalist and fragrance expert: “Being honest, I didn’t think this would deliver, but just a couple of sprays delivered an amazing spa-like experience and powerfully scented the steam from the shower to fill the bathroom. The brand comes with decades of know-how and expertise, so I felt I could really trust this blend and the quality of the oils.”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Rob Hobson, nutritionist: “This was the most evidence-led entry – we know so much about the benefits of fish oils. It does one thing – and it does it really well. It contains a really meaningful dose of DHA, a structural component of the brain, so it supports cognitive function at a fundamental level. If you don’t eat oily fish regularly, this is a great addition to your diet.”
Best fertility, pre- and post-natal or hormone health product
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Dr Sophie Shotter, aesthetic doctor: “The key issue here is trust – if you’re relying on tracking your temperature for contraception, you need to know there’s robust science behind the algorithms. This app, which you can also use for ovulation tracking, has a CE mark so it’s certified as a medical device for contraception. And it’s a decent price for a year’s subscription.”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Nadia Alibhai, osteopath: “The scent of this inhaler (frankincense, vetiver and bergamot) instantly calmed me down, and I put it to the test in a few different scenarios. When I was struggling with brain fog, it brought me into a state of calm. I was on a stressfully overcrowded train, I took one sniff, and it was like it brought me away from the situation and into a different place. I also really liked the chic packaging; you can take it out of your bag wherever you are and not feel self-conscious.”
Best skin supplement or drink
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Anna Miller, aesthetics practitioner and life coach: “This is a standout, high-performance antioxidant supplement that supports collagen production and skin vitality from within, backed by clinical trials and with an advanced liposomal delivery system.”
Best topical or ingestible for hair health/growth
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Tom Smith, hair stylist: “An impressively innovative delivery system of microcirculation-stimulating ingredients, enhanced with a roller applicator. The refillable cartridge and fair price make this a thoughtful option for an instant scalp activation.”
Best for digestive/gut health
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Charlotte Faure Green, nutritionist: “It’s a very well formulated product combining pre and probiotics with strains that are studied to make an impact on general health and with a delivery mechanism that ensures they get where they need to be – and the fact that it looks good on your shelf in its beautiful green glass, means you’re excited to reach for it every day.”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Anna Miller, independent nurse prescriber and coach: “An impressive formulation for cognitive support, with 500mg lion’s mane with 100% fruiting body, ginseng and omega 3, plus vitamins. I like that they are vegan, low sugar, with no artificial colours.”
Best wellness or fitness tech
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Dr Sophie Shotter, aesthetic doctor: “This is amazing tech for continuously monitoring your blood pressure and, given that cardiovascular disease is still the biggest cause of fatality, it’s a well-priced investment in your health. My husband uses the older version for managing familial hypertension – he has a genetic tendency to high blood pressure and can take this data to his GP. This new upgraded band is waterproof, so you don’t take it off to shower and then forget to put it back on again.”
Best wellness drink, drops or powder
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Daniel O’Shaughnessy, nutritionist: “This wins on genuine scientific differentiation. The bioavailability problem with standard curcumin is well established and micellar delivery technology genuinely addresses it. The 185x absorption claim is specific and traceable to published research on micellar curcumin formulations. ISO 22000 certification, independent heavy metal testing, UK lab formulation, and a 60-day money-back guarantee collectively signal a brand that understands accountability. The format is elegant, the dose is minimal (1ml), and the flavour range shows real thought about daily compliance. At £39 for what is a genuinely novel delivery system, the value holds up.”
Best health bar, snack or meal
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Rob Hobson, nutritionist: “This recipe box stood out because the meals have a strong balance of protein, fibre and wholefoods. I loved that some were ready in just 15 minutes and you get a recipe booklet to keep so it helps expand your cooking repertoire. Most people couldn’t afford to do this all the time (it’s £7-£10 per meal) but it’s ideal if you know you’re going to have a really busy week or you want to get back on track with your diet.”
Best for metabolism or weight management
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Dr Fionnuala Barton, menopause Doctor: “I’m impressed by this female-focused brand with a nutritionist at the helm with bioavailable ingredients. This comes at a reasonable price point; you only need three capsules a day, so it’s easy to fit into your routine and it works. It noticeably reduced my food noise, helped with satiety, and I had really steady energy throughout the day.”
Best female health product
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Tania Adib, consultant gynaecologist: “We should all be focusing on vaginal health in menopause and using some kind of energy-based device either in clinic or home goes a long way to maintaining vaginal health to prevent incontinence and other effects of dryness.”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Kerry Potter, journalist and Get The Gloss deputy editor: “This actually works – not always a given for natural deodorants – so I remained a B.O.-free zone, even at the end of a long day. The formulation is creamy but not greasy, the surprise inclusion of niacinamide means bonus skincare benefits and the genderless scents are so grown-up and chic. Plus extra points for the elegantly minimalist applicator.”
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Tania Adib, consultant gynaecologist: “The herby, woody mellow scent is particularly calming and soporific – a huge support for restful sleep. This is permanently by my bedside.”
Best bath or shower product
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Lisa Oxenham, beauty director, writer and content creator: “I’ve got a small baby, but on the rare occasion I get some time out, this is my go-to. Tisserand is the best of the best when it comes to aromatherapy. And this is the strongest all-rounder in the category, as you can use it in both the bath and shower, and it’s suitable for sensitive skin. The scent is truly calming and it left my skin really soft. And it’s accessible – £16 for a big 400ml bottle.”
Best home wellness scent or home scent accessory
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Alice du Parcq, journalist and fragrance expert: “I really like the presentation of this candle and the simplicity of the design and box, which feels very much in line with The Pig and Bramley. The scent projection was excellent, and the wax melted perfectly flat, which are two essential factors for a good candle!”
Best wellness book or journal
WINNER’S MENTION: Says judge Kerry Potter, journalist and Get The Gloss deputy editor: “I’m allergic to whimsical and wafty self-help books but this is something entirely different. From a straight-talking mindset coach (and former journalist so she can really write), this is the manual for navigating your way through the chaos and clutter of modern life. It’s her pragmatism that sealed the deal for me – Silverton recognises that life isn’t going to suddenly get less busy but she helps you work out what truly matters.”
Says judge Victoria Woodhall, Get The Gloss editorial director: “This is a smart fibre supplement that does so much more. It’s like nothing else on the market as it uses natural marine chitosan to bind to unwanted fat and gut toxins, it can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, it’s a weight management support and is full of antioxidants, as well as being anti-inflammatory. A genuine multi-tasker by a science-led, sustainable, female-founded brand that makes you feel good on the inside.”
