Shopping for genuinely clean beauty just got a whole lot easier. The Clean + Conscious Awards has unveiled the winners of its 2026 Beauty + Body Awards, but this year's announcement comes with something particularly useful for anyone trying to navigate the increasingly crowded world of clean beauty: a brand-new online directory and hub bringing all of the award-winning products together in one place. The new Beauty + Body Awards Category Hub has been designed as a discovery destination where you can browse this year's Gold, Silver, Bronze and Editor's Choice winners across skincare, natural makeup, body care, haircare, natural fragrance, SPF, deodorant, period care, beauty tools and more. Rather than just giving you a list of winners, each product has its own dedicated page where you can dig deeper into the product and the brand behind it, including its sustainability credentials, ethical practices and social impact. You'll also find genuine hands-on reviews from members of the Clean + Conscious Awards Expert Panel, making it considerably easier to understand why a particular product earned its place. Before products even reach the judging panel, they're assessed across their ingredients or materials, sustainability, ethical practices and social impact. Those that meet the Awards' criteria then progress to hands-on testing by a panel of 90 experts from Australia and New Zealand, who spend four weeks evaluating products across quality, performance, innovation, sustainability and overall impact. The launch also marks a new chapter for the Awards themselves. Rather than revealing hundreds of winners in one enormous annual announcement, the 2026 Awards Season will unfold across four dedicated releases. Beauty + Body is first, with Food + Nutrition, Baby + Kids and Home + Style still to come. Each announcement will be accompanied by its own Category Hub, gradually creating an incredibly handy directory for discovering products that have been independently assessed for more than what's written on the front of the packaging. Now in its eighth year, the Clean + Conscious Awards was created to help consumers cut through marketing claims and find products that balance performance with safer ingredients, ethical practices, sustainability and positive social impact. For founder Emily Fletcher, giving each category its own moment - and creating a place where consumers can continue discovering the winners afterwards - was a natural next step. "Our new Awards Season allows each Awards category to have its own dedicated moment in the spotlight, giving consumers more time to discover exceptional products and the inspiring brands behind them," Fletcher says. The 2026 Beauty + Body Awards Hub is now live, so if you're looking to clean up your beauty cabinet or simply want a trusted place to discover some of the best clean and conscious brands available in Australia and New Zealand, you've now got a great place to start.
