Five months. That's all it took.
We've just received news that al.ive skin has won two Prevention Beauty Awards in the Clean and Green category.
First in Line Silky Gel Cleanser: Best Gel Cleanser
Always Refined Exfoliating Essence: Best Exfoliating Toner
Honestly? We're still processing it. Five months from launch to award-winning feels surreal.
What this means to us:
When you spend months obsessing over getting a formula exactly right, testing, adjusting, testing again, you do it because you genuinely believe it matters. You believe people will feel the difference between something made quickly and something made right.
But there's always that whisper of doubt. Will anyone actually notice? Will they care that we chose the harder ingredient? Did we delay the launch to perfect the texture?
These awards answer that question. Industry experts noticed. They cared. And that validation? It's everything.
Why these products won:
First in Line Silky Gel Cleanser removes makeup and impurities without disrupting your skin's natural balance. Australian Native River Mint and Flannel Flower extracts calm and revitalise, while jojoba esters and glycerin maintain hydration. Your skin feels clean, soft, and comfortable, never tight or dry.
Always Refined Exfoliating Essence uses lactic acid to gently resurface skin, smoothing texture and enhancing clarity. Tasmanian Pepper Berry extract soothes, while TeraCeutic™ Ferment extract boosts radiance for a brighter, more luminous complexion.
Both are unapologetically clean: palm oil free, cruelty free, vegan, Australian made. Formulated to prove that clean and high-performance aren't opposites.
What's next:
These awards aren't a finish line. They're confirmation we're building al.ive skin the right way. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just relentless focus on creating products that work.
To everyone who tried al.ive skin when we were brand new, who trusted us, who shared your results, this win is yours too.
Now, if you've been curious about what all the fuss is about, well... the experts have spoken.
