A moment to celebrate: blossom & beau recognised with a Vegan Choice Award and Junior Design Awards 2026 shortlist

Every small milestone feels like a big moment here at blossom & beau. From the very beginning, our mission has been simple: to create gentle, effective and beautifully designed personal care products that help young girls feel confident as they grow.

So, when our brand started receiving recognition from the industry, it felt incredibly special, not just because of the awards themselves, but because it showed that the idea behind blossom & beau was resonating with others too.

A Vegan Choice Award win!

Firstly, we’re absolutely thrilled to share that blossom & beau has been recognised with a Vegan Choice Award - the most prestigious award in the vegan industry - for our Dazzling Diva natural roll-on deodorant made just for girls. 

The Vegan Choice Awards champion vegan products, eateries, and services that are contributing to positive change for the planet, its animals, and people.

When we created our natural deodorant for girls, we wanted to make choices that reflected what matters to many families today: kindness, care and consideration for the world around us. Our Dazzling Diva natural deodorant was created to be vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, dermatologically tested and gentle on young skin.

Here is what Louise Jane, CEO of The Vegan Choice Awards had to say about blossom & beau:

"blossom & beau has officially perfected the first-deodorant milestone! This exciting rite of passage deserves a product that delivers, and the ‘Dazzling Diva’

roll-on is the ultimate choice. I still remember the endless label-reading and frustrating store visits when my oldest daughter was around nine—a struggle I could have entirely skipped if this wonderful brand existed back then.

"This exceptional roll-on provides the perfect, gentle introduction to daily hygiene. And, thanks to its premium, long lasting performance, it doesn't just look after young skin—it is sure to remain a trusted, must-have staple through the teen years and well into adulthood too.

"Free from harsh chemicals, this deodorant offers a safe, reliable solution for

sensitive, delicate skin. It proves that a formula can be incredibly gentle while staying tough on odour, keeping busy girls fresh through active school days, sports, and everything in between. Another reason to love Dazzling Diva? It works with the body, not against it. Instead of blocking crucial sweat glands with aluminium, it uses diatomaceous earth to absorb moisture. This smart ingredient choice supports the body's natural functions while effectively keeping wetness at bat. It is a true win-win: parents will appreciate the natural formulation, and young girls will genuinely want to use it.

"The thoughtful roll-on design ensures a smooth, mess-free glide that allows children to handle application completely independently. What truly guarantees it will be an instant hit, however, is the sweet, fresh, and fun Parma Violet and Peony scent! In all, blossom & beau has delivered a truly spectacular product—if you are looking for an effective, and empowering choice for your daughter, this is the perfect go-to. In fact, it is so good you will be tempted to steal it for yourself!"

Winning a Vegan Choice Award for our natural deodorant feels like a wonderful acknowledgement of the thought and care that goes into every part of our sustainable deodorant brand, from the ingredients we choose to the way we design products that feel fun, age-appropriate and empowering.

For us, being vegan isn’t just about what’s inside the bottle. It’s about creating a brand with values at its heart and making choices that we can feel proud of as parents, too.

Best Tween/Teen Toiletries Collection: Shortlisted for the Junior Design Awards 2026

We were also incredibly excited to be shortlisted for the Best Tween/Teen Toiletries Collection in the Junior Design Awards 2026, an award that celebrates the very best in products, design and innovation for children and families.

From the very start, we knew that blossom & beau needed to feel different. When our founder Amanda first had the idea for the brand after struggling to find a suitable deodorant for her young daughter at a purse-friendly price point, she saw a gap in the market. There were products for adults, but very little designed specifically with tweens and young girls in mind.

That’s why design has always been such an important part of our journey. We wanted to create something that felt exciting and positive, a natural deodorant that a young girl would actually want to use, while giving parents confidence that they were choosing something gentle and thoughtfully made.

Being shortlisted for the Junior Design Awards was a lovely reminder that the little details matter. From our colourful packaging to our carefully considered formulas, every element has been created with girls and their families in mind.

More than just awards

Of course, awards are wonderful, and we’re incredibly grateful for this recognition, but what means the most is knowing that blossom & beau is helping families through an important stage of growing up.

Starting deodorant can seem like a small thing, but for many girls it’s one of the first steps towards developing their own puberty hygiene routines, independence and confidence. We want to make that moment feel positive, natural and even a little bit exciting.

From one mum’s lightbulb moment to a growing brand loved by families, every achievement reminds us why we started.

Thank you to everyone who has supported blossom & beau so far, whether you’ve shared our story, tried our products, or simply cheered us on from the sidelines. We can’t wait to see what comes next.
