Just Be Natural's Simply Nourish Face Moisturiser has won Silver in the Leave on Face Care category at the twelfth annual Free From Skincare Awards.

It also scooped a Bronze medal in the overall Free From Achievement Award which covers all 16 categories from body care to cosmetics.

The Europe-wide Awards were founded to encourage and reward manufacturers of skincare products that are 'free from' many of the allergens, preservatives, additives and fragrances associated with skin sensitivities, allergies, and ethical, environmental and health concerns.

Just Be Natural Founder Louisa Pini had more than one reason to celebrate - winning the awards on her wedding day! "I'm delighted to have won these prestigious awards. The announcement coming on my wedding day as I sat down to dinner made it even more special. The overall Free From Achievement Award is a real honour. As a small indie brand I'm thrilled to be recognised alongside world renowned premium green beauty brands. I developed the Simply Nourish Face Moisturiser especially for those with more sensitive skin and I'm so proud to read what the product testers had to say..."

"It is indeed extremely nourishing...it promises soothing, softening, toning and reduced appearance of fine lines and I feel it delivers fantastically... I think it's a fantastic little understated powerhouse of a product that absolutely does what it says on the jar."

You can find Just Be Natural products at www.justbenatural.co.uk, at Wallington Farmers market on the 2nd Saturday of the month and in The Natural Way, Banstead, Surrey. For the full set of results, see the Awards' website at www.freefromskincareawards.co.uk
