Sliquid Wins Two Awards at the 2026 XBIZ HONORS in Hollywood
Sliquid is proud to announce that the company received two major honors at the 2026 XBIZ HONORS, held Sunday, January 11th at the Avalon Hollywood. The annual XBIZ HONORS spotlight outstanding achievements in the pleasure industry, recognizing career excellence and innovation in intimacy products.
Cynthia Wielgosz Elliott was named Businessperson of the Year, marking a significant milestone since stepping into the role of CEO in 2024. Under her leadership, Sliquid has focused on streamlining operations, strengthening partnerships, and reinforcing the brand’s long-standing commitment to quality, integrity, and innovation.
“I am deeply honored to be recognized alongside such an impressive group of individuals,” said Wielgosz Elliott. “This award reassures me that we are moving in the right direction. Our success is not the result of any one person, but the strength, dedication, and passion of the entire Sliquid team behind the brand.”
In addition, Sliquid Tsunami was awarded the XMA for Best Sex Lubricant, marking its second win in this category. The repeat honor further solidifies Tsunami as a trusted, go-to product for retailers introducing customers to premium, body-safe lubricants. Since launch, Tsunami has exceeded expectations in both product reception and sales performance, continuing to gain momentum across retail channels. Retailers not yet carrying the product are encouraged to consider adding it to inventory to meet growing demand.
“Tsunami winning the XMA for Best Sex Lubricant is both an honor and a pleasure, said Michelle Marcus, Sliquid VP of Global Sales. “We’re deeply grateful to our retailers, distributors, and industry peers for their continued partnership and belief in our vision. Together, we’re elevating intimate wellness around the world, one thoughtfully designed product at a time.”
The 2026 XBIZ HONORS ceremony was co-hosted by Sliquid’s own Erik Vasquez, adding a meaningful full-circle moment to the evening for the brand. With two wins highlighting both leadership and product innovation, Sliquid continues to reinforce its position as a trusted leader in intimate wellness.
