blossom & beau wins Bronze at the Junior Design Awards 2026 and is named a Business Buzz National Awards finalist

Some days on this journey feel pretty special, and this is one of them! We're thrilled to share that Dazzling Diva, our award-winning natural deodorant for girls has won Bronze in Best Tween/Teen Toiletries Collection at the Junior Design Awards 2026. And, we are also a Business Buzz Awards finalist.

Bronze at the Junior Design Awards 2026

The Junior Design Awards, run by leading children's title Junior Magazine, celebrate the very best in design, innovation and style for families. Our category, Best Tween/Teen Toiletries Collection, was judged by a panel of beauty editors, content creators and the Junior team, and we're so proud that our Dazzling Diva natural deodorant is featured on that winners' list alongside some brilliant brands.

The judges said that they loved the uplifting blend of Parma Violet and Peony, and described our deodorant as a well-researched, effective formula that would help young girls feel fresh and confident. They also picked out the vegan-friendly formula, the lack of drying alcohols and parabens, and the quick-drying, non-sticky finish, calling it a great first deodorant.

Here’s just some of the kind words judges had to say about our Dazzling Diva natural deodorant. 

"A thoughtful and practical product for a really important stage of growing up. This feels like a confidence-giving everyday essential, with natural credentials and age-appropriate positioning that would appeal to both parents and tweens navigating those first personal care routines."

Bridget Mackinnon, Content Creator

"blossom & beau is a great first deodorant to help tweens take ownership over their self-care routines. It’s delicately scented, dries quickly and doesn’t contain any antiperspirant actives."

Charlotte Jolly, Creative Director & Junior’s Contributing Beauty & Wellness Editor

"A really nice design that fills a gap... Intuitive design and easy to use. An excellent price point for a really useful product."

Sonia Haria, Beauty Director, The Telegraph 

You can read the full results on the Junior Magazine awards page.

“To see blossom & beau’s deodorant recognised by experts who really know their stuff, and for it to be called a great first deodorant, means the world to me,” says Amanda, founder of blossom & beau. “It's exactly what I hoped it would be: something a girl feels good about wearing every day." 

We're a Business Buzz National Awards finalist

And now for the second bit of news. blossom & beau has been selected as an official finalist at the Business Buzz National Awards 2026 in the Best Start-up Award category.

Entries to the awards came in from across the UK, and the finalist list in each category is limited to just five businesses, so we're delighted to have made it. On top of that, Business Buzz introduced a brand new honour this year, the Certificate of Merit, and we've been awarded it in recognition of our submission.

Starting a business around a school run and a seven-year-old's first deodorant has been an adventure, and one we couldn't have done without our customers, our local suppliers in and around Warminster, and the mums and dads who've trusted us with their daughters' first steps into personal care. 

You can see the full list on the Business Buzz 2026 Awards finalists page. We'll be at the ceremony with fingers crossed, and we'll let you know how the night goes!
