Per the awards, it was found that 74% of Canadian shoppers appreciate when companies make products more environmentally friendly.

When it comes to personal care and beauty, ‘gentleness on skin’ tops the list of “consumer requirements, and the top-rated innovations delivered through effective and natural ingredients.”

Three in five customers feel that store brands are just as good as brand names and many are willing to pay more for a new product if it is better than what was available before.

  • Food & Beverage – Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP Sweet Chili Puffs
  • Health, Beauty, Personal Care, & Kids – Centrum Tropical Fruit MultiGummies
  • Household Care & Pet – Air Wick Vibrant
  • Home Goods & Footwear – Dyson Big+Quiet Formaldehyde
