Glow 100 questions, answered.

What is the Glow 100?

The Glow 100 is Glow.com.au's editorial ranking of the best beauty, skincare, makeup, hair, SPF, fragrance, wellness, men's grooming and skin-tech products. Each product is scored using the Glow Score framework — an editorial measure, not a paid one.

How are products scored?

The Glow Score is calculated across product performance, brand strength, customer demand, repeat purchase potential, innovation, packaging, price-to-value, cultural relevance, retailer credibility and category leadership.

Are these paid rankings?

No. The Glow 100 is editorially independent. Brands do not pay for inclusion or rank position. Glow may earn commissions from outbound retailer links, but no commercial arrangement influences a product's score or placement.

Do brands pay to be included?

No. Inclusion is determined by the Glow editorial team using market data, retailer signals, consumer search demand and brand performance.

How often is the Glow 100 updated?

The Glow 100 is published annually in May and refreshed quarterly with score adjustments, new entrants, and removals.

What categories are included?

Skincare, makeup, hair, SPF, fragrance, wellness, beauty devices, men's grooming, body and tan. Australian and international products are both eligible.

Can brands submit products for review?

Brands can submit products for editorial consideration through the Glow press desk. Submission does not guarantee inclusion or score.
