I started Naturally COS with a simple, non-negotiable belief: that what you put on your body should be as pure, honest and nourishing as what you put in it. Every formula we create is handcrafted on the Gold Coast with certified organic ingredients, free from sulphates, parabens and synthetic nasties — not because it’s trendy, but because I believe it’s the only way to do it properly.
So when independent industry experts agree? I won’t pretend I’m not over the moon.
I’m incredibly proud to share that Naturally COS has taken out two major wins at two of the beauty industry’s most respected award programs in 2026 — and both are for our haircare range.
🏆 Award #1: Prevention Australia Hair Awards 2026
Best Moisturising Conditioner — Natural Haircare Category
Winner: Hair Boost Conditioner
The annual Prevention Australia Hair Awards are the most credible guide to the best hair products for women 35+ Prevention Australia — and that matters to us enormously, because our community is full of women who have spent years navigating a beauty market that hasn’t always served them well. Women who are done with products full of empty promises and synthetic shortcuts. Women who want results from ingredients they can actually trust.
To be recognised in the Natural Haircare category as Australia’s Best Moisturising Conditioner is a validation of everything I’ve poured into this formula.
Our Hair Boost Conditioner was formulated to do one thing exceptionally well: deeply nourish and restore the hair shaft without compromising on the purity of what’s inside the bottle. It’s built around cold-pressed Certified Pure Organic Argan Oil, which delivers vitamins, minerals and antioxidants directly to the hair to strengthen and restore. Fairtrade Shea Butter from Ghana locks in moisture, while Aloe Vera brings natural shine and Jojoba Oil — which closely mimics the scalp’s own natural oils — conditions without heaviness.
Botanicals like Rosemary Leaf Extract, Lavandin Grosso and Rose Geranium round out a formula that doesn’t just smell divine — it actively supports a healthier scalp environment and stronger, more resilient hair over time. It’s especially loved by curly girls, and by anyone dealing with dry, damaged or over-processed hair that needs genuine repair rather than just a cosmetic fix.
The Hair Boost Conditioner is also formulated to work in perfect harmony with our award-winning shampoo — more on that below.
🏆 Award #2: The Beauty Shortlist Awards 2026 — 15th Anniversary Edition
Best Daily Shampoo — Haircare Category
Winner: Intense Hydrating and Clarifying Shampoo
The Beauty Shortlist Awards were launched in 2012 and consistently champion green beauty pioneers — focusing on transparency, efficacy, ethics, excellence and sustainability. This year marks their special 15th anniversary edition, making it the strongest and most competitive year in the awards’ history. Each product is judged purely on its own merit— there are no industry politics, no paid placements, no shortcuts to a win. Products are tested by an expert panel over a four-month window, and the results speak entirely for themselves.
To be named Best Daily Shampoo in this context — in a year the organisers describe as the most competitive yet — means the world to us.
Our Intense Hydrating and Clarifying Shampoo was designed from the ground up to challenge the assumption that effective cleansing requires harsh chemicals. It’s sulphate-free, cruelty-free and built on an Aloe Vera Juice base — not water — which immediately sets it apart from the vast majority of products on the market.
Ginger Root acts as a natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, soothing the scalp while stimulating blood flow to support healthy hair growth. Petitgrain helps regulate sebum production and clears product build-up. Witch Hazel calms an inflamed, itchy scalp and tackles dandruff. Rose Geranium naturally restores the scalp’s pH. And botanicals including Bergamot, Frankincense, Lemon Oil and Cinnamon Bark deliver a scent experience that genuinely rivals any conventional product — without a single synthetic fragrance molecule in sight.
We recommend the double-cleanse method: the first application loosens excess oil, dirt and build-up; the second lifts and removes it entirely, leaving the scalp truly clean and the hair refreshed. It’s a ritual, not just a wash.
A Winning Combination
These two products were designed together, and they work best together. The Shampoo and Conditioner Combo is one of our most loved offerings — a complete haircare system where every ingredient in the conditioner is chosen to complement and extend the work the shampoo has already done at the scalp level.
Both are formulated with Distilled Mount Tamborine Water — pure, clean, and a world away from the standard tap water or cheap purified water used in mass-produced haircare. Both are free from sulphates, parabens, silicones and synthetic fragrance. Both are cruelty-free and crafted with certified organic ingredients right here on the Gold Coast.
What These Awards Mean to Us
I founded Naturally COS from a very personal place — a conviction that clean beauty shouldn’t be a compromise, and that Australians deserved access to products that were genuinely good for them and genuinely effective. These awards don’t just recognise two products. They recognise that philosophy. They affirm that you don’t need aluminium, sulphates, synthetic fragrance or parabens to create haircare that wins on the world stage.
To every customer who has trusted us with their hair, their skin and their family’s wellbeing — this recognition is as much yours as it is ours. Thank you for believing in clean beauty alongside us.
