The Society of Cosmetic Chemists’ Green Star Award recognizes a green, sustainable formulation developed during the past 12-month period.  The submission deadline for this year’s competition is July 13.

Winner(s) will receive an award certificate, honorarium, and complimentary SCC membership for one full year, and will also be invited to accept their framed certificate award on-stage during the SCC’s 78the Annual Scientific Meeting & Showcase, December 11-13, 2024.

The submission must be a commercialized product. Submissions will be reviewed by a committee of formulation and ingredient experts who will make their determination based on the Green Star Rating, a classification system developed by industry professionals designed to allow the formulation chemist the ability to maximize the natural component in products. The higher the Green Star™ rating, the “greener” the product. Award determination is governed by the Committee’s assessment of the product’s: novelty; level of innovation in formulation; creativity in fulfilling the marketing claims; efficacy using “green” ingredients; and packaging sustainability. 

Previous winners include Alexis Forbes-Moorehead (2023), Peyton Munoz (2021), Samantha Guertin (2020), Cynthia Johnson (2019), Chaz Hudak (2018) and Daniel Joutard (2017).

Winner(s) will be notified on or about October 1, 2024. The Committee’s decision is final.
