The Glow 100 · 2026 annual list
100 products. One Glow verdict.
The highest-scored beauty, grooming, wellness and skin-tech products of the year.
Across skincare, makeup, hair, SPF, fragrance, body, devices and men's grooming — the 100 products that earned their place. Ranked, scored, and actually worth talking about.
Quick answer
The Glow 100 is Glow.com.au's editorial ranking of the best beauty, wellness, grooming and skin-tech products of 2026, scored using the Glow Score framework. Independent, not paid.
The Glow Score
The framework, not the flattery.
The Glow Score is our editorial ranking system for products that deserve attention. We look at how a product performs, how strongly the brand holds its category, how much demand it generates, whether people come back for it, and whether it actually deserves the hype. Scoring is editorial, not paid. No brand can buy a position.
