No.12 in UK natural beauty industry’s Top 25
Dr Mark Smith, Director General of NATRUE, has been voted No.12 in this year’s ‘Who’s Who in Natural Beauty’, published in the autumn issue of Natural Beauty News. Editor Rosie Greenaway commented: “This year’s Who’s Who is proof of a solidarity I witness every day in our industry – a shared vision for beauty which is being championed by pioneers and newcomers alike. Of course, each finalist will celebrate their individual successes, and rightly so, but to see so many prominent names working synergistically to advance the market is truly heart-warming. It’s evidence of what a progressive time this is for the sector – mainstream beauty had better watch its back!”
On hearing the news Mark commented: “It is a proud moment to receive the news that NATRUE is once again in the Natural Beauty Top 25 for the third year! NATRUE was created to protect the authenticity of natural and organic cosmetics, and in being selected we would like to thank all those who expressed their interest, who voted, who promote transparency daily, and in doing so salute those who share an unbridled passion for our beloved sector as we do.”
