We’ve been a little quiet around here for a reason. 👀 Behind the scenes, our analysts, experts and consumer testers have been putting this year’s Best of the Year Awards submissions to the test in the real world — inside their kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms, on planes, roads and trains, at parks, playgrounds and picnics, and anywhere else the brands, products and services that entered the awards show up in everyday life. It’s detailed, meaningful, time-consuming work. Real-world testing. Trying. Evaluating. Assessing. Taking notes. Asking questions. Recording results. Verifying. Clarifying. Then checking, double-checking, triple-checking. And we’ve been deep in it, but we see the light and we have some truly extraordinary winners on deck. Just a few more days, then we can’t wait to reveal this year’s award recipients, backed by independent judges and verified subject-matter experts. Keep watching this space. 👀 The 2026 Best of the Year Award winners… 🥁🥁🥁 🏆 COMING SOON 🏆 #bestoftheyear #bestoftheyearawards #trustedrecommendations #awards #consumerproducts

Kinda chic to finally introduce ourselves. 👋 We’re Birnur, Rachel and Laurie — longtime colleagues, friends and the founders of Best of the Year Media — and we are just getting started here. 🚀🚀🚀 We believe in testing no matter what, working with experts, and making recommendations we can stand behind. With integrity, clarity and evidence. And we’re building a new kind of media company to do just that. It's not always easy, and it's definitely not glamorous but it's refreshing to know we’re on the right path. And we’re here to remind you anyone can start over at any point. Even you. Even if it's scary, Even if you didn't choose it. Even if you have to take a leap of faith. That net will show up. Believe us. It does.

It’s GO time! ✅ Sometimes you have to believe the sky is the limit. ✅ Sometimes you have to bet on yourself. ✅ Sometimes you have to say yes, even when it’s scary. ✅ Sometimes you have to imagine the Best Case Scenario (to borrow from @lizplosser’s movement). ✅ Sometimes you have to take your own advice. ✅ Sometimes you have to shake up the status quo. ✅ Sometimes you just do it (right, @nike @nikewomen @nikenyc!? 😉) Even when you don’t feel ready, especially when you don’t feel ready. Even when it’s not perfect, especially when it's not perfect. Welcome to my next chapter: @bestoftheyearmedia 🏆🏆🏆 Hope you check it out and follow along. Can’t wait to hear what you think. Let’s do this! 🚀🚀🚀 #startup #media #awards #bestoftheyear A #kindachic post before it was kinda chic. 😉

Photodump from the last few days in NYC at hashtag #SCC79 Scientific Meeting by @societycoschem with the Independent Beauty Association (@independentbeautyorg). I was facilitating IBAStudio, collecting educational soundbites for IBA’s social channels and doing some impromptu science-communication coaching with attendees. Important work, and I’m so happy to be a part of it! Being an independent science communicator on social media, especially when your work focuses on debunking misinformation (probably especially if you’re a woman on these platforms), can be pretty isolating. The past few months have been some of my most draining online, with increased pushback and harassment (directed at me and Michelle Wong, PhD) for addressing uncomfortable topics. When popularity, algorithms, and sponsorships reward visibility over integrity, it becomes harder, but even more necessary IMO, to keep showing up. I don’t think people always realize how much this dynamic is eroding high-quality, independent science communication. NYC was a bit of a reset. Connecting with scientist peers, hearing that others share my values, and learning how my scicomm work has mattered to people was genuinely cup-filling. To everyone who stopped by to share their support for what I do, thank you and it meant a lot to me! TBH I’ve been feeling frustrated with the cosmetics industry lately, particularly around how little priority is often given to accessible, high-quality information. Too often, money trumps truth, even when misinformation is likely already harming long-term business outcomes. I’m grateful to have found my people who also care deeply about this problem. I’m especially thankful for the Independent Beauty Association, who I’ve been working with for about four years now on their online scicomms. Watching them take meaningful steps to address these challenges from a trade-association level has been legitimately inspiring. With Akemi Ooka PhD now in the CEO role, supported by Meredith Petillo (IBA’s regulatory VP), two of the most brilliant people I know, I’m excited to see where they take this next. Thank you to the IBA for seeing this problem, and also seeing me.
