In The Know is proud to celebrate the brands, products and people making an impact. Our 2021 Beauty Impact Award winners are products that are ethically created, use clean ingredients, feature inclusive shade ranges, promote accessibility and more.
Here’s the truth: There are a lot of beauty products out on the market. Nowadays, you may not want to weed through all the ads and hearsay to know what products are actually worth it and which are all hoopla. It’s been a busy year in beauty — from the increase of celebrity-driven product launches to the very real, very personal conversations around race and representation.
Despite 2020’s challenges, there are still brands that left an impact on the industry. Not just for a better today, but for a better tomorrow. Today and every day, we celebrate these brands. After all, we know beauty has the power to change the world. We’re not skin deep — we’re going deeper than that.
