Nordic Natural Beauty Awards 2022 were organized on the awards’ Instagram account on Thursday, October 27th, 2022. The competition was tight in all of the categories, proving that all the nominees are just incredible.
We wanted to take a deeper look at the awarded cosmetics and why they specifically make a great addition to anyone’s beauty routine. To avoid the list becoming one heavy manual (even though we know it would be a good one!), we divided the awarded cosmetics into seven parts. This post is all about HAIRCARE AND GROOMING.
Whether it’s about cleansing or hydrating the hair, taking care of the scalp, styling the hair, or taking care of the facial hair and beard, these following award-winning products will have you covered, naturally.

SAVIOUR IN A BUSY DAY
Luonkos – Refresh Uplifting Dry Shampoo
Refresh Uplifting Dry Shampoo of the Finnish brand Luonkos was awarded the title of Best Dry Shampoo. With its unique design, this sustainable multi-tasker also works as a hair powder, as well as a velvety fine dry shampoo. While effectively removing greasiness from the scalp, it also provides volume and hold. Containing organic ingredients, such as nettle, betaine, oat flour, and freshwater clay, it’s designed to strengthen hair, improve surface blood circulation, soothe the scalp and prevent hair loss.
“Refresh is a great example of a Luonkos product made according to circular economy principles. It contains, among other raw materials, Finnish birch bark powder, which has been saved from birch bark and other parts that go to waste from industrial side streams.”
“I really liked this product and the paper packaging too. The powder didn’t feel too sticky in the hair and the scent wasn’t too strong either.”
