Clabane Skincare has received the Quality Excellence Award for Most Preferred Skincare Products in East Africa at the sixth East Africa Brand Quality Awards, held at Hotel Africana in Kampala on October 16, 2026.
The awards recognise brands and business leaders across nine countries in the region. According to the organisers, winners are selected through public voting and an independent market survey reviewed by a jury of experts.
The recognition comes as Clabane expands its skincare range, with the company focusing on formulations it says are designed to address the needs of African skin.
Muhammad Bashir, the company’s chief operating officer, said the brand remained committed to product development and continuous improvement.
“We are always innovating to meet the standards and needs of African skin. Our focus is on continuously improving and developing skincare solutions that respond to our consumers’ needs while maintaining our commitment to quality,” Bashir said.
Clabane’s latest addition is the Glass Skin Orange Peeling Lotion, an evening skincare treatment marketed to help leave the skin feeling smoother, softer and refreshed.
The product draws inspiration from the glass skin trend, which emphasises a clear, smooth and luminous complexion.
According to the company, the formulation combines vitamin C and citrus-derived ingredients with skin-conditioning and hydrating components, including glycerin, betaine, aloe vera and jojoba oil.
Clabane says the formulation has been used in its clinical setting on hundreds of patients over the past two years, with excellent observed tolerability. However, the company’s statement did not provide independent clinical findings or detailed study results to substantiate the claim.
The lotion is intended for evening use once or twice a week, according to the company’s guidance. Clabane advises users to follow the product instructions, conduct a patch test before first use and apply sunscreen every morning.
The award adds to Clabane’s visibility in East Africa’s competitive skincare market, where brands are seeking to attract consumers through product innovation, quality assurance and formulations tailored to local preferences.
For the company, the recognition and launch of the new lotion form part of its broader product development strategy.
However, the award’s significance as an indicator of consumer preference depends on the voting methodology, survey sample and assessment criteria used by the organisers.
As Clabane continues to expand its product portfolio, independent evidence of product safety, performance and consumer satisfaction will be important in supporting its quality claims and strengthening consumer confidence.
