Congratulations to all of this year’s top kind-to-the-planet Eco Awards winners!
These are the highest-scoring brands and products designed and packaged to intentionally lighten the load on our fragile planet across health & beauty, home and self-care.
We’re delighted to honour these award-worthy heroes.
From plastic-free favourites like Aermeda’s shampoo-on-a-rope, to plantable seed packaging… a perfect example being Kyrra’s lovely organic Freyr candle with its 100% plantable packaging and outer sleeve made from recycled paper blended with British Wild Flower Seeds.
Kudos, too, to packaging innovators like:
– Twelve Beauty x Sulapac (Twelve’s Stellar Aura Bronzing Cream in a biodegradable Sulapac “jar”)
– Elate’s great always refillable mascara (refills made from sand-blasted glass with an aluminium cap)
– Together Health’s compostable earth-friendly pouches
– Black Chicken Remedies’ award-winning eco conscious deodorants and refillable hand and body soap.
Not forgetting…our best brand new discoveries of 2026!
Such as? Saint Olio’a beautiful natural aromatic non-toxic home cleaning + aromatherapy collection and the brand’s beautiful perfume oil “Viola” in an equally beautiful bottle💜 (see below).
A heartfelt thank you to all of the brands doing the right thing to help make a difference in our already plastic-choked, toxin-heavy world.
AND COMING SOON…
