Entry Opens for the Health and Beauty Trends Awards 2026: Participate and Win!

Exciting News: Entries Open for 'Karada ni Ii Koto Awards 2026'

We are thrilled to announce the commencement of entries for the "Karada ni Ii Koto Awards 2026" starting today, June 1st! Hosted by Central Medience Co., Ltd., which operates the health and beauty-focused web media "Karada ni Ii Koto," this prestigious award aims to recognize truly beneficial products and services for women’s health.

What are the 'Karada ni Ii Koto Awards'?

The "Karada ni Ii Koto Awards" is an initiative dedicated to acknowledging products and services that have been certified as genuinely beneficial for health. Each entry will undergo scrutiny and assessment by our editorial team, readers, and health professionals, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation. Criteria for selection include usability, enjoyment in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and reliable functionality of the products.

Winning products will gain visibility on our website and official social media channels, further enhancing their credibility.

Discovering the Next Big Trends

The awards serve a dual purpose: they not only evaluate products but also unveil and promote prevalent health and beauty trends of the year. Recent years have seen entries reflecting growing consumer awareness in areas like gut health, sleep care, femcare, menopausal support, protein supplementation, and mental wellness. These trends act as vital indicators of the health and beauty industry's latest developments.

In 2025, the award was given to "Cacao Beaute" by Meiji Co., Ltd., which has since been highlighted in various marketing and promotional activities, including packaging and in-store displays, as proof of its trustworthiness.

This year's award selection process will take place over approximately six months, concluding with the announcement of winning products on December 16, 2026, via a special website on "Karada ni Ii Koto". Companies have until June 30, 2026, at 23:59 to submit their entries, and we encourage enthusiastic participation!
