Léonia wins the Cosmébio trophies against the cosmetics giants
The Cosmébio Trophies: a reward for the best players in organic cosmetics
The origin of this project? The professional association Cosmébio. With its 519 members, this organization is known and recognized for its oversight of organic cosmetics through a charter of values and demanding specifications. The association upholds strong ethical values regarding the environment, social commitments, and responsible communication: a priority for the sector, especially today to address the rise of greenwashing.
This season, out of the 519 brands participating in Cosmébio, 24 were selected to enter the competition. Several products competed in four categories : " Contribution to the Ecological Transition," "Sustainable Innovation," "Start-Ups," and "Support and Development of Sustainable Sectors."
In total, 160 judges evaluated the products. Selected by Cosmébio, the panel of testers is composed of professionals (beauty professionals, distributors, buyers, etc.), consumers, and influencers specializing in organic cosmetics. Product evaluations are carried out at home, using online questionnaires. To form an objective opinion of the products, the tests are conducted over time, with one product per week.
The winners of the 2021 Cosmébio Trophies
This year, the young organic cosmetics brand Léonia, launched only in 2019, has won two trophies on its own: a first in the history of the Cosmébio Trophies.
Léonia White Tea Face Serum, winner of the Cosmébio trophies in the “Young Growth” category.
The White Tea Radiance Booster & Antioxidant face serum easily made it onto the podium of the best organic cosmetics 2021-2022 in the “Young Shoots” category. It unanimously won over the panel of judges with its effectiveness, its packaging and its fragrance.
The judges noted its effectiveness from the very first uses: a healthy glow, hydrating, smoothing, and radiant effect. A serum that evokes softness, sensuality, and femininity through its White Tea fragrance.
The jury's opinion
"I loved it! A fluid, second-skin texture, a product that smells wonderful! Perfect for both day and night. The skin feels rested. I have no complaints, I love it."
"I am very satisfied with the quality of the product. It is very comfortable to wear, moisturizes the skin for a long time while leaving it with a radiant complexion!"
"I find this product very chic and high-quality, I'm delighted to have tried it. My skin really appreciated it. White tea has real benefits for the skin. My skin is radiant with beauty. I recommend this product."
A word from the founder Eva Corfmat
"This award is a real recognition for our work, our standards and confirms our know-how in offering products that are organic, effective, ethical, and that meet the expectations of women. […] I have a special thought for our 100% female Vietnamese cooperative that picks our precious organic white tea every spring. A big thank you to our co-creators, to the R&D team who do a fantastic job on the formulas and thank you to our local partners for their quality work and their daily commitments."
Léonia White Tea Face Cream, winner of the Cosmébio trophies in the “Support and development of sustainable sectors” category.
Léonia Moisturizing Cream was voted the favorite in the "Support and Development of Sustainable Sectors" category. It unanimously won over the panel of judges with its effectiveness, luxurious and elegant packaging, sensorial appeal, and its solidarity approach with the women's producers' cooperative in Vietnam.
The jury's opinion
"My skin appreciated it; it seemed better hydrated, less dull, and in better shape. This treatment was a very nice surprise."
"I'm simply won over by this cream. It's a real pleasure to apply it every day, it smells good and absorbs very easily. My skin is beautiful! Soft! I didn't know about white tea, but I'm more than delighted with it."
“I love this cream, every evening after my day at work it comforts me, reminds me of the smell of holidays and my childhood.”
A word from the founder Eva Corfmat
"This "Support and Development of Sustainable Sectors" award means a lot to me because it highlights the work of our 100% female Vietnamese cooperative. Our producers handpick our organic white tea from wild tea bushes, a meticulous job that requires a great deal of skill. Thanks to our collaboration with the cooperative, we fund community projects such as building new roads, planting trees, and providing schooling for our producers' children."
