STORY OF THE FOUNDER
“I grew up in central Finland, surrounded by countless lakes and wild forests. Travelling and living around the world, I often found myself missing one essential part of the north – the calming and empowering nature.
The Nordic and Arctic nature is known to be full of powerful remedies due to the extreme weather year-round. For a long time, these ingredients have been the secret of the natural beauties of the north, but as the natural beauty trend is rising worldwide, I wanted to find a way to introduce the best Nordic products made and bring them finally to everyone’s reach. Also, the Nordic approach to beauty – simplicity – deserves to be noted in these hectic times.
The idea for Nordic Natural Beauty Awards grew strong during the summer of 2019. A combination of three main thoughts built the foundation for the awards – frustration towards the ongoing toxic cosmetics market, the massive growth of natural beauty brands in the north, and the need world is expressing for magical, yet natural beauty products.
Nordic Natural Beauty Awards 2020 was the first edition of the awards, and I am so excited to see the impact we keep making on the Nordic beauty producers’ businesses and in the world at large.
I believe that natural beauty is the ultimate beauty – and the ULTIMATE LUXURY – that the world is looking for in these very special times.”
– Satu Mäkinen, the founder of Nordic Natural Beauty Awards
