Ethical Cosmetics Initiatives

Te Protejo has launched its first 'Cruelty Free Awards' in Chile, recognizing cosmetics brands that prioritize ethical, sustainable, and animal-friendly practices. The initiative features four categories -- 'Sustainability,' 'Innovation,' 'Plant-Based,' and 'The People’s Favorite' -- celebrating products that combine conscious formulation with creative impact. Entries will be reviewed by a panel of industry experts, including sustainability consultants, retail executives, and vegan certification leaders, with winners announced on November 28.

Sponsored by major Chilean retailers like Salcobrand, Preunic, and Farmacias Ahumada, the Cruelty Free Awards aim to raise awareness about cruelty-free beauty and reward companies leading positive change. Winners will receive visibility across Te Protejo’s communication channels and opportunities for retail partnerships, reinforcing ethical consumption within the Latin American cosmetics market.

The Cruelty Free Awards position Te Protejo as a significant catalyst in Latin America’s ethical beauty movement. By connecting brands, retailers, and consumers through recognition and visibility, the awards encourage greater industry transparency and commercial adoption of cruelty-free standards.
