Sian Louise Colson, founder and formulator of Obvs Skincare, said: "Being a finalist in both Best Pregnancy and Baby Product and Best Organic Moisturiser at the BOOM Awards 2025 is an absolute honour.
"I created Obvs Skincare after struggling with my skin post-IVF and miscarriages, so to now see our products recognised like this – especially alongside giants like Neal’s Yard Remedies and Odylique – is truly special."
The winners will be announced on July 10.
