The John Bell & Croyden Anniversary Award

Luxury skincare brand SEABODY has been unveiled as the winner of the prestigious John Bell & Croyden ‘Anniversary Award’ launched in celebration of London’s iconic luxury pharmacy’s 225th anniversary to find the next big beauty brand.

The innovation-led Irish brand has pioneered a unique collection of luxury oceanic based food supplement and skincare products that utilise ocean plants from the Irish Atlantic coastline. They exclusively use organically certified, sustainably cultivated, and hand-harvested seaweeds from the Wild Atlantic Way, employing zero-waste clean technologies to extract potent bioactive ingredients. Their packaging choices are equally eco-conscious, featuring infinitely recyclable glass, forest steward certified paper, and biodegradable inks.

In a fiercely competitive contest, SEABODY surpassed nineteen other innovative beauty, health, and wellbeing brands that had secured coveted spots on the shortlist. The brand's co-founder, Dr. Helena McMahon, is dedicated to creating high-efficacy, clean-label products, with sustainability at the heart of their mission.

Quote from Dr. Helena McMahon about winning the award:

“Winning the John Bell & Croyden award is such a huge honour for Seabody. As a science led brand

with full commitment to positive impact, beauty and wellness, quality and efficacy, there is huge

alignment between our brand’s ethos and values and that of John Bell & Croyden.”

SEABODY’S skincare products have been biodesigned, based upon a deep knowledge of skin health and bioactive to create high efficacy products, which are all nature based, vegan aligned and deliver a luxury sensory experience. The Glycan Enrich Moisturiser, the tech-powered brand’s first product to reach hero status, is an ultra-nourishing, hydrating product, enriched in Maraderm ™ super concentrate in addition to key actives such as vegan omegas, ceramides, squalane and niacinamide.
