New Aerosol of the Year Award |
Judges Comments: It is a sensuous experience when you use it, and it’s not greasy or dripping like an oil would be.”, “A beautiful creamy foam, you only need a tiny amount and the fragrance is pleasant but subtle, not overpowering like other products.” and “The effect on the skin is visible, and when you apply it, it’s a pampering experience.”
Runner Up: Volcke Aerosols UK Ltd - Dry Foam Shampoo for Dogs
Judges Comments: There are many spray products for pets, but none of them in a foam.”, “I would definitely try it on my dog.” and “People care more and more for their pet as a family member, it’s good that the company has thought about that and extended the range of dry shampoos to cover them too.”
Highly Commended: Church & Dwight UK Ltd - Batiste Leave-In Dry Conditioner
Judges Comments: Hair is much smoother and soft to the touch.”, “It’s a good complement to the existing range, but it can be used on its own.” and “Easy to apply, much quicker than the traditional conditioner which needs to be rinsed off.”
Aerosol Packaging Award |
Judges Comments: “From the point of view of visual impact, it is a game-charger.”, “It opens up so many different opportunities.” and “You can have the product on a lower shelf and still attract the shopper’s attention.”
Sustainability Award |
Judges Comments: "It really addresses and solves an issue that hadn’t been tackled before.”, “There is a minimal amount of gas left in each pack, but it’s environmental impact is significant especially looking at the millions of
units used.” and “The network of return points (pharmacies and hospitals) makes it easy for the user: as they collect the new inhalers, they can drop off the empty ones. It is likely that most empties will be captured.”
Runner Up: PRECISION - Stylish 52 Actuator
Judges Comments: "It addresses the problem of how to recycle aerosols caps, which are usually mixed plastics, by making the whole thing out of one material but still maintains a similar spray performance.” and “The idea that making the cap shorter saves material is so simple, but so effective.”
Highly Commended - Salvalco - Mentholatum Deep Freeze & Deep Heat
Judges Comments: "They have completely eliminated the LPG propellant, so they innovate mechanically to ensure a good spray, but also reformulated the content to keep its properties.”, “It actually works better than the original version… probably because there is more active ingredient dispensed.” and ”The can is visibly smaller, so there’s also less material used, reducing the carbon footprint, but not so much smaller to put consumers off when placed on the shelf.”
Process Safety & Training Award |
Judges Comments: It’s not a groundbreaking innovation, but small things can make a difference.”, “It looks at the human element of the process.” and “It engages the staff and makes them feel they can make a difference, so they become vested in both process and outcome.”
Aerosols in Action - Photography Award |
