Jayn Sterland, managing director of Weleda UK, has once again landed the top spot in the annual round up of the natural beauty industry’s most influential personalities.
Voted for by the natural and organic beauty industry, the hotlist – also known as the ‘Who’s Who’ in natural beauty Top 25 – provides an essential snapshot of the leading personalities driving the newest trends and best products on the market.
Voted number one for the second year running, Jayn Sterland has regularly appeared in the ‘Who’s Who’ top 25 since its launch in 2007. Jayn joined Weleda nine years ago and brought the original products she found in the Weleda archives, such as the iconic Skin Food, to the mass market. Appointed managing director of Weleda UK last year, she has transformed Weleda into a truly customer-focused business and regularly speaks about the value of authentically natural and organic cosmetics.
