Clean Beauty and Clever Packaging: Meet the 2026 Global Green Beauty Awards Winners

What goes into a beauty product matters. So does the packaging it arrives in.

The 2026 Global Green Beauty Awards recognised both, with winners spanning clean skincare, makeup and haircare alongside refillable products, recycled materials and plastic-free formats. For anyone exploring this year’s results, these categories offer plenty to discover.

A spotlight on ingredient innovation

The ingredient categories brought another set of discoveries.

Organic Bioactives’ OceanDerMX® KānuBright™ received Gold for Most Innovative ‘Green’ Ingredient. M. Carya’s Calendula & Pecan Cleansing Oil took Silver, with Nu Skin’s Epoch Glacial Marine Mud receiving Bronze.

Elsewhere, Caremare’s Rhodophyta Aloe Vera Shield Day Cream won Gold for Best Aloe Vera Product. HAVLÍK APOTÉKA’s Angelic Face Cream received Gold in both the Best Shea Butter Product and Best Honey Based Product categories.

These are distinct awards, recognising different ingredients and approaches rather than treating every formulation as the same.

Packaging deserves its own spotlight
