Meet the 2026 BELLA Beauty Awards Winners
From innovative skin-care formulas and transformative hair essentials to standout makeup, fragrance and beauty technology, the 2026 BELLA Beauty Awards celebrate the products that captured our editors’ attention—and earned a permanent place in our routines.
This year, our honorees are divided into three distinctions:
Category Winner: The leading selection within its category.
Beauty Icon Winner: A brand recognized for an exceptional collection rather than one individual product.
Editor’s Pick: A standout product our editors believe deserves special recognition.
After reviewing and experiencing this year’s submissions, we are thrilled to introduce the official 2026 BELLA Beauty Awards honorees.
Hair
Beauty Icon Winner: Ella Bella
Ella Bella is our 2026 Hair Beauty Icon Winner. The brand submitted an extensive selection of styling tools and keratin-infused hair-care products—and we loved the collection as a whole.
From its versatile black-and-rose-gold styling system and interchangeable attachments to its Keratin Hair Mask, Keratin Argan Oil Vitamins A, E & B5 and Keratin Hair Repair & Protection Spray, Ella Bella delivers a complete approach to styling and hair care.
Rather than selecting only one product, BELLA is recognizing the entire Ella Bella Hair Styling + Keratin Collection.
Editor’s Pick: Privé Vanishing Oil
Lightweight finishing products can make all the difference, and Privé Vanishing Oil earned its place as our Hair Editor’s Pick.
Created to deliver shine without weighing down the hair, this sleek finishing oil is an effortless addition to a polished styling routine.
Skin Care
Beauty Icon Winner: Purdori
Purdori is one of our two 2026 Skin Care Beauty Icon Winners.
The brand submitted a complete assortment of products from its vibrant turquoise Ro-Ice+ collection, including serums, toners, creams, cleansers and targeted eye treatments. The cohesive collection impressed us enough that choosing only one product did not feel right.
Purdori is being recognized for its complete skin-care experience and distinctive collection.
Beauty Icon Winner: Saranghae
Saranghae joins Purdori as a 2026 Skin Care Beauty Icon Winner.
Its beautifully coordinated blue collection includes products created for cleansing, toning, moisturizing and targeted treatment. Saranghae’s thoughtful presentation and complete approach to skin care made the entire collection worthy of recognition.
Editor’s Pick: Inner Glow Sol Defense
Inner Glow Sol Defense is our Skin Care Supplements Editor’s Pick.
These dermatologist-developed dietary supplement gummies feature polypodium and niacinamide. The product represents the growing connection between beauty, wellness and the rituals that support skin from within.
Editor’s Pick: Beverly Hills MD ProRetinol Age Rewind X3 and Lift + Firm Sculpting Cream
Beverly Hills MD submitted two products that stood out together: ProRetinol Age Rewind X3 and Lift + Firm Sculpting Cream for Face and Neck.
Instead of separating them, BELLA is recognizing both products under one Skin Care Editor’s Pick distinction. Together, they represent a targeted approach to the appearance of smoother, firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
Editor’s Pick: Delavie Sciences LayerOne Clarifying Enzyme Cleanser
The LayerOne Clarifying Enzyme Cleanser by Delavie Sciences earned an Editor’s Pick for its focused cleansing and exfoliating approach.

Editor’s Pick: Colleen Rothschild Moisture Veil Daily Hydrator
Colleen Rothschild Moisture Veil Daily Hydrator is a beautifully presented everyday moisturizer created to deliver comfortable hydration with a soft, velvety finish.
Its elevated packaging and daily-wear appeal secured its position among this year’s Skin Care Editor’s Picks.
Editor’s Pick: DEINDE Line-Smoothing Eye Cream
The delicate eye area deserves focused care, and DEINDE Line-Smoothing Eye Cream caught our attention.
Presented in a distinctive emerald-green tube, this targeted treatment earns an Editor’s Pick for bringing a modern, design-forward sensibility to the eye-care category.
Editor’s Pick: Borghese Roma Fluido Protettivo Advanced Spa-Lift for Eyes
Borghese Roma Fluido Protettivo Advanced Spa-Lift for Eyes brings the brand’s sophisticated Italian beauty heritage to a targeted eye treatment.
Its frosted bottle, gold detailing and specialized positioning make it one of the most elegant additions to this year’s Skin Care Editor’s Pick lineup.
Editor’s Pick: Shoal Sea Cucumber Collagen Collection
Shoal submitted two complementary products: the Sea Cucumber Collagen Anti-Aging Cream and Sea Cucumber Collagen Rejuvenation Serum.
Because the products are designed to work as a coordinated collection, BELLA is recognizing them together. With clean white packaging and fresh green branding, the Australian-made duo earned a shared Skin Care Editor’s Pick.
Editor’s Pick: Stem Natural Intelligence ReGlow
ReGlow by Stem Natural Intelligence joins this year’s Skin Care Editor’s Picks.
Presented as a coordinated bottle-and-box set, the streamlined product reflects a clean, clinical-meets-luxury approach to modern skin care.

Body
Tools Winner: Silk’n 7 Hair Removal Device
The Silk’n 7 Hair Removal Device is our 2026 Body Tools Winner.
The sophisticated at-home system includes the main device, multiple treatment attachments, a razor and a travel case. Its versatile design and comprehensive assortment make it a standout body-care tool.
Editor’s Pick: Dewsy Down Deep HA Body Serum
Body care deserves the same ingredient-conscious attention as facial skin care, and Dewsy Down Deep HA Body Serummakes that philosophy feel effortless.
Featuring five essential ceramides and four types of hyaluronic acid, this fragrance-free body serum earned its position as our Body Editor’s Pick.
Makeup
This year’s Makeup submissions represented three different parts of the beauty routine: lips, lashes and complexion. Rather than naming one overall winner across unrelated product types, BELLA is recognizing all three as Editor’s Picks.
Lips Editor’s Pick: Shiksona Lip Butter
Available in a range of flattering shades, Shiksona Lip Butter combines lip color with a glossy, conditioning presentation. Its versatile shade assortment earned it our Makeup Lips Editor’s Pick.

Concealer Editor’s Pick: Milani Conceal + Perfect Blur Out Skin Tint Stick
The Milani Conceal + Perfect Blur Out Skin Tint Stick offers complexion coverage in a convenient, travel-friendly format with an inclusive range of shades.
Its versatility earned it our Makeup Concealer Editor’s Pick.
Fragrance
Winner: Billie Eilish Your Turn II Eau de Parfum
Your Turn II Eau de Parfum by Billie Eilish is the 2026 BELLA Beauty Awards Fragrance Winner.
The fragrance’s striking matte-black presentation immediately commands attention. Inspired by the form of stacked dominoes, the sculptural bottle and matching box feel bold, modern and collectible—making Your Turn II as visually memorable as it is distinctive.
