Collinge & Co is certainly a name to keep an eye on, just last November it won The Design One in Tribu-te’s The Big One Awards and now this… In the 2023 Veggie Awards Collinge & Co won gold for its vegan, cruelty-free Gentle Shampoo. We applaud! And that wasn’t all Collinge & Co picked up; we hear the brand won five awards overall- a superb effort indeed. Let this inspire you to prioritise sustainable haircare this year.
Haircare Awards
Collinge & Co awards include the highly respected Gold award in the Cruelty-free Haircare category for the Collinge & Co Gentle Shampoo. The brand also won Silver for the Cruelty-free Haircare category with the Collinge & Co Purple Shampoo, Collinge & Co Lightweight Conditioner, Collinge & Co Hair Treat, and Bronze for the Collinge & Co Blow Dry Lotion.
About Collinge & Co
Andrew & Liz Collinge, founders of Collinge & Co, used their expertise to develop a nurturing haircare brand with high-quality ingredients. The goal: To create high-performing haircare with a social conscience. In line with this, all products are PETA approved, cruelty-free, made in the UK and feature vegan ingredients.
Sarah says…
Sarah Highfield, columnist for Natural Health Woman, Om Yoga Magazine and travel journalist at Health & Wellbeing UK, says, “The Collinge & Co shampoo is extra gentle so perfect for anyone who likes to wash their hair daily. The shampoo lathered up into a light frothy foam, which didn’t dry my hair out or irritate my sensitive scalp. It is sulphate-free and contains UV filters, so it protects my colour and helps to retain moisture. I loved the fresh, citrusy scent, which is super invigorating and perfect for helping to wake me up in the mornings. This is my new go-to shampoo!”
Charlie Collinge
Managing director and co-founder of Collinge & Co, Charlie Collinge, says, “We are delighted that Collinge & Co Gentle Shampoo has been judged Gold in the Cruelty-Free Haircare category of the Veggie Awards 2023. And that other products from the range have been recognised with Silver and Bronze awards. From the outset of creating the range, we have committed to using vegan ingredients and are against testing on animals. Our professional-performance haircare products were developed in collaboration with our salon stylists and clients. We’ve used kind ingredients, to boost moisture, lock in colour and wake up condition. Gentle Shampoo is one of our most popular products; it is versatile and receives fantastic feedback – we are very excited for it to be officially recognised by the Veggie Awards.”
