Inika co-founder and CEO of the brand’s parent company, Truth in Beauty, Miranda Bond said of the win: “We are beyond thrilled to have Purely Bronzed win this award for innovation from the 2009 Organic Expo. We knew that this product would generate excitement, being the world’s first certified organic body bronzing mousse, but to win an award before the product has even hit the shelves is so exciting. We are constantly striving to break boundaries in bringing breakthrough natural products to market and are looking forward to extending the range further with a number of exciting new product launches over the next 12 months!”
Trophies will be presented to the winners at the opening of the 2009 Organic Expo on Friday 24 July.
