"I am so thrilled that Solglo® by United Beauty won Tanning Product of the Year, especially being up against such strong and prestigious competition. It is brilliant to know that our customers are behind us and recognise what we are trying to achieve with the brand. It has been incredibly hard work re-launching Solglo®, involving months of consumer testing and a huge amount of investment to manufacture the solutions in-house in the UK. The buzz when we came back to the office was fantastic - everyone at United Beauty is so proud, we all knew we had an amazing product, and to have it recognised within the industry is just a huge boost. I really feel that this is just the start for Solglo®, cited as an emerging brand, we now know that the sky's the limit!"
