The Green Parent Natural Beauty Awards - Winners 2025
BEST SKINCARE
BEST CLEANSER
GOLD Peppermint Cleanser, £26 seilich.co.uk
“A brilliant way to start my day - I've been feeling a bit groggy in the mornings recently, and this gentle, refreshing peppermint cleanser wakes me up and leaves me feeling revived after my morning shower. I'll definitely be buying this one again (even my partner has started using it during his morning shower, too!).” Charlotte H
SILVER Eucalyptus & Lavender Cleansing Balm, £32.99 whiterabbitskincare.co.uk
BRONZE Gentle Cleanser & Make-up Remover - Oil to Milk, £25 annefortin.co.uk
BEST DAY MOISTURISER
GOLD Age Defying Multi Peptide Cream, £40 evolvebeauty.com
“I am really enjoying using this cream. At first I thought it was slightly heavy for daytime but the richer texture is good for ageing skin and I have continued to use it both day and night. My skin felt very soft. There was an improvement in the appearance of my skin. It has a gorgeous smell of mandarin. I prefer this type of dispenser as you can easily see how much you have left and simply take the required amount from the jar without wastage. The packaging is environmentally friendly.” Pat L
SILVER Rejuvenate Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid Cream, $86 naturalzestskincare.com
BRONZE Nourishing Light Moisturising Day Cream, £28.99 22skincare.com
BEST EYE CREAM
GOLD Simply Refine Overnight Super Serum, £34.67 justbenatural.co.uk
“I try to incorporate some face massage and yoga into my daily routine and this serum is great for that. It's like an oil and makes massaging around my eyes so easy and relaxing. A little goes a long way. I love using it. It doesn't have a scent, or at least hardly noticeable.” Hester VH
SILVER Hyaluronic Eye Serum, £19 evolvebeauty.com
BRONZE Pure Eye Cream, $41 zenzorganicshop.com
BEST FACE MASK
GOLD SICILIA - Green Clay & Lemon Mask & Scrub, £29 casamencarelli.co.uk
“This is a dry powder type mask that you can mix either with water, floral water or, as the brand suggests, honey. Once it is all mixed up, you can use it as a mask or scrub. When I used it as a scrub I found that it worked really well to remove any dry skin cells and excess oils. My face felt smooth and fresh after use, ready for a mask or moisturiser. After the use as a mask my skin felt very clean and pores minimised without feeling any tightness as that can sometimes happen after using clay masks. Really pleased with the result using it either way.” Laura L
SILVER Rose & Shine Face Mask, £8 elstreesoaps.com
BRONZE Dead Sea Mineral Mask & Brush, £40 thedeadseaco.com
BEST FACIAL OIL
GOLD Rose and Sandalwood Facial Serum, £14.95 shaloahskincare.co.uk
“Oh my goodness! I fell in love with this product from first sniff! And it really is super special. It left my face feeling gorgeously soft, my skin just drank it up. I started using it every morning before I put my make-up on and the moisture lasted all day. The smell is absolutely heavenly. It feels like a very decadent treat but is an amazingly affordable oil. I will definitely be purchasing from this company once this one has run out and am looking forward to trying their other oils.” Lucy C
SILVER Meadow Face Oil, £52 seilich.co.uk
BRONZE Multivitamin Clarifying and Brightening Facial Oil, £35 mybemora.com
BEST FACIAL SCRUB
GOLD Divine Facial Polish, $46 naturalzestskincare.com
“This is a lovely polish and unlike any other scrubs I have tried in the past, truly an option for those amongst us with sensitive skin. The polish itself is made out of finely ground rosehip seeds and deeply hydrating organic plant oils. It gently sweeps away dull, dead skin cells and I genuinely felt my skin loving it, with the oils nourishing the skin at the same time so after rinsing off, I simply dabbed the water away and felt my skin more polished.” Evelyn K
SILVER Flower Petal Deep Cleanser + Mask, £35 theorganciapharmacy.com
BRONZE Face Smooth Nourishing Polish, £22 tropicskincare.com
BEST NIGHT MOISTURISER
GOLD Green Tea and Avocado Radiance Night Cream, £21.50 shaloahskincare.co.uk
“This is a nice, thick feeling cream and it feels very gentle on the skin. My skin felt moisturised after using it, and I would estimate this is may be a great one for sensitive or oily skin because while it feels thick at the time, once rubbed in it feels surprisingly light. I really enjoyed using this cream and appreciating the thick creamy texture. I used it in the day under makeup for this reason and it sat really nicely. I think it's also a good price for a lovely night cream.” Hannah V
SILVER Moon Cream – Waterless Botanical Overnight Treatment, £54 starseednatural.com
BRONZE Wonder Balm, £45 franchineyoung.com
BEST SERUM
GOLD Virajati Illuminate Facial Serum, £39 moksa.co.uk
“I adore the smell of this product, it has a real spa like smell to it. I used a few drops in my hands to apply to my face and so meant my hands feel the benefit too. My skin felt instantly hydrated and glowing and continued to feel moisturised. The glass bottle is really pretty and I enjoy using a dropper to dispense the product.” Stacey T
SILVER Pure Face Serum, $67 zenzorganicshop.com
BRONZE 3B Blue Elixir Bio-Retinol Face Oil Serum, £23.99 beautycleanseskincare.com
BEST TONER
GOLD Rose Floral Facial Toner, £15 luvmyoil.co.uk
“This was a firm favourite! I looked forward to splashing this on each morning and feeling instantly refreshed. The smell was gorgeously rich and I felt thoroughly hydrated whenever I used it. Over multiple uses my skin felt brighter and plumper. A real crowd pleaser of a toner and a great price. Lovely sleek bottle and fun pink label. The wooden top was a great addition.” Catriona G

PREGNANCY PRODUCTS
BEST PREGNANCY BATH PRODUCT
GOLD Rinse & Retreat Sensitive Body Wash, £10 tropicskincare.com
“I really like this body wash which is specially formulated for use during pregnancy. I am being cautious of what products I use while pregnant so it's been great to use a product that I can trust won't irritate my skin in any way. The smell is lovely and fresh and so nice in my morning shower, and my skin feels really soft and nourished afterwards and stays that way throughout the day.” Abby R
BEST BREAST CARE
GOLD Kit & Kin Breast Balm, £11.99 kitandkin.com
“This product is an absolute must for any new mum. It's labelled as a nipple balm but can be used for use on baby or any area with dry skin. Really soothing balm, that is gentle on the skin but does the trick and I won't be without it on my coming breastfeeding journey. I love that you can keep it on after application, no need to have to think about wiping it off before feeding again.” Abby R
SILVER Nipple Treasure - Post Nursing Moisturiser, $19.99 bellytreasures.com
BEST PREGNANCY MASSAGE OIL
GOLD Balmonds Scar & Stretch Mark Oil, £20 balmonds.co.uk
“This is a great multipurpose scar oil that has a heap of lovely botanical ingredients included. I love the versatility of this oil and have been using it on my growing pregnant bump, as well as some dry patches of skin I have on my hands. The smell is lovely and it soaks in easily and keeps the skin nourished for a while. It doesn't feel greasy after applying which is great.” Abby R
SILVER Elixir Radiance-Boosting Omega Oil, £30 tropicskincare.com
BRONZE NausyBelly- First Trimester Soothing Blend With Bracelet, $35.99 bellytreasures.com
BEST MAKE UP
BEST BLUSHER
GOLD Mineral Blusher, £9 honeypieminerals.com
“I loved using this product. It's a really flattering colour and looked great on, it gave me a fresh glow and even my children noticed when I was wearing it and said I looked a bit less old! It's very easy to use and a little goes along way so it's good value for money, it's a lose powder so it's easy to build and blend and the colour worked well for day and night time. I felt confident wearing it and it didn't irritate my skin at all.” Amy M
BEST CONCEALER
GOLD Mineral Concealer, £9 honeypieminerals.com
“This is really lightweight and blends in beautifully, and it’s not chalky or cakey at all. I dusted the tiniest bit over my red patches on my cheeks post-cleanse. Before using my foundation, it genuinely took the edge off without making me look weirdly green or ghostly. It just tones things down in a really natural way. Also, it doesn’t irritate my skin at all which is a massive win, because my face gets a bit dramatic over anything too harsh. Plus, the ingredients are super clean, which is always a plus. It’s great to know that it’s another brand using reusable, recyclable and refillable packaging too. Basically—if you’re on the fence about green correctors, this is a great one to try. Subtle but effective.” Emma S
SILVER Undercover Skin-Enhancing Concealer, £22 tropicskincare.com
BEST EYE SHADOW
GOLD Golden Goddess Eye Shadow Palette, $55 domebeauty.com
“This is such a fun product for nights out or parties! It has a great selection of shades, from more natural tones to brilliant sparkles. The shades can be quite subtle if just applied by finger or deep if using a brush. They are lovely and luminous and feel soft on my skin. They last well and wouldn't need reapplying.” Elizabeth C
SILVER Natural Mineral Children’s Play Makeup Kit, £25.95 thenaturalplaymakeupcompany.co.uk
BEST FOUNDATION
GOLD Liquid Radiance Adaptogen Serum Foundation, £38 tropicskincare.com
“This is a beautiful soft, slinky foundation that looked great on. It glided on effortlessly. I tried it with a brush to build layers but preferred applying it with my fingers. It’s quite subtle and not at all heavy, it covered my skin evenly and my skin felt soft and smooth after using it. It's has a nice scent and so easy to use and apply. It was easy to remove at the end of the day and didn't clog my pores like my regular foundation does. I was really impressed that it had so many natural ingredients in it too.” Amy M
SILVER Mineral Foundation, £15 honeypieminerals.com
BRONZE Classic Foundation, £49 englishmineralmakeup.co.uk
BEST LIPBALM
GOLD Lemon & Lime Lip Balm - Lemonade, $18.99 NZD yesorganics.nz
“Sunny, happy, light, bright, beautiful lip balm. The colours, the feel, the everything. Love it. Same quality of goodness as the rose hip one that they make and it’s silky, smooth and deeply moisturising. Such a great product. This is a great company. ‘Made with love and care in NZ’ it says, and I can really feel that. A product that exudes love and goodness.” Lila R
SILVER Nature's Lip Balm Eucalyptus, £8 gemsnaturalskincare.com
BRONZE Nourishing Lip Oil, £15 luvmyoil.co.uk
BEST LIPGLOSS
GOLD Lip Saviour - Colour Enhancing Lip Oil, £30 delilahcosmetics.com
“It’s not often that you find a beauty lip product that uses a zamac tip. It glides effortlessly over the lips and gives a soothing application that's both functional and indulgent. Not only does it bring out your lips’ natural colour, but can also be paired over your favourite lipstick or balm for a glossy look. The formula itself has lots of nourishing ingredients like argan oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, and castor seed oil, which left my lips feeling soft and hydrated. This is a luxurious, eco-conscious addition to any beauty routine. It’s costly, but goes the extra mile to provide a touch of hydration and colour if you need it.” Emma S
BEST LIP STICK
GOLD Velvet Tint Stick, £9 nirvananatural.co.uk
“This certainly feels velvety and applies smoothly and evenly. The tint is light enough to give my cheeks a lovely glow and makes my lips look noticeably deeper - it accentuates the natural tone. It has gentle fragrance that reminds me of chapstick! The cardboard tube is small, convenient to use and totally recyclable.” Elizabeth C
BEST MASCARA
GOLD Mesmerise Mascara, £22 love-ethicalbeauty.co.uk
“What a delightful find - this mascara has truly impressed me and has become a standout in my makeup routine. Made in the UK and formulated with clean ingredients, it allows for a guilt-free beauty experience. The wand features fine bristles, making application effortless and precise, with minimal clumping or mess. What I appreciate most is how easily it washes off at the end of the day - no excessive rubbing or harsh removers required. My eyelashes also seem to genuinely respond well to it; I’ve experienced no stinging, dryness, or irritation, which can be an issue with many conventional mascaras.” Evelyn K
BEST TINTED MOISTURISER
GOLD Natural BB Cream + SPF15, £20 love-ethicalbeauty.co.uk
“A great BB cream for when you don't want to use a moisturiser. It offers a good coverage which is buildable and keeps skin moisturised. Bonus points as it has SPF! A little goes a long way.” Jo C
BEST HAIRCARE
BEST CONDITIONER
GOLD Rosemary Revitalising Conditioner, £11.95 weleda.co.uk
“I love using hair conditioner, and I apply it to my ends after every wash. I love the smell of this conditioner. This conditioner makes my curly hair feel soft, but not limp, and it gets any knots and tangles out, which is important for me, because I don't actually brush or comb my hair.” Hester VH
SILVER Rose Geranium & May Chang Solid Conditioner Bar, £8 elstreesoaps.com
BRONZE Caffeine + Rosemary Conditioner, £27.99 awakeorganics.co.uk
BEST HAIR TREAT
GOLD Treatment Conditioner, £16 hairyjaynehandmade.co.uk
“This conditioner smells lovely and is a light cream, which does not leave the hair heavy. A little goes a long way which is promising. It smells lovely too. It is recommended to use on the ends of the hair and can be left overnight as well. My hair has felt healthy and clean since using this product, reducing frizz and dryness and is good value for money.” Cath S
SILVER Drops of Thirst, £17.99 droughtsecret.com
BRONZE Let's Bond Leave-in Treatment, £14.99 lovenoughty.com
BEST SHAMPOO
GOLD Strength and Shine Shampoo cream, £16.49 nylahsnaturals.com
“The shampoo cream smells of a tropical punch and is very creamy. It lathers really well and definitely tamed my wild curly hair. It’s very moisturising as my hair has got dryer as I've aged. My hair is softer after drying my hair. This has been a great find, will be buying this again.” Shahida A
SILVER Eco Warrior Nourishing Shampoo Bar, £5.50 littlesoapcompany.com
BRONZE Shampoo bar for sensitive scalp, £11.60 mollia.ro
BEST STYLING PRODUCT
GOLD Mane Tamer, £13.99 lyonsleaf.co.uk
“The wax melted easily in my palms and didn’t feel sticky or greasy. It was very easy to work it through my dry frizzy curls and I was really impressed with the results – defined, bouncy and hydrated curls that lasted much longer between washes than usual. I've used Lyonsleaf skincare products before so was excited to try a hair product. The jar is a handy size and perfect for popping in my bag to smooth my curls if they get frizzy. The neck of the jar is plenty big enough to allow your fingers to scoop out some of the wax. The jar is easily recycled.” Catherine J

BODY AND BATH AWARD WINNERS 2025
BEST BATH TREAT
GOLD Bath Soak, £29 inlightbeauty.co.uk
“Deep, nourishment, rich, earthy… Such a wholesome creation, beautiful herb constellation and general feel, it looks beautiful, and oh my, the scent. Quiets the mind, settles the emotions and nervous system, balances the inner world. Each time I use this beautiful product I receive such a healing. It feels like an ancient concoction, created by the wise women… nurturing from the earth. More than a ‘product,’ this is beautiful Medicine.” Lila R
SILVER Arnica Muscle Soak Bath Milk, £17.50 weleda.co.uk
BRONZE Harmony Bath Salt, £28 sesnara-rituals.com
BEST BODY CREAM
GOLD MotherSage Body Butter, £23.99 mothersage.com
“I absolutely love the smell, look and feel of this body butter. I find that some body butters can be quite greasy and they don't absorb very easily. This one feels very nourishing and buttery, but it spreads easily and gets absorbed by the skin very well. It also doesn't leave my hands sticky. After using some body butters, I find that I need to wash my hands before I can continue with the rest of my day, but not with this one! It’s pink in colour and I love a bit of pink. It just adds a little spark of joy to my morning routine. It makes my skin feel very soft.” Hester VH
SILVER Foot Balm, £15.99 lyonsleaf.co.uk
BRONZE Calming Butter, 317.99 droughtsecret.com
BEST BODY OIL
GOLD Nourishing Body Oil, £14 todburnsoaps.co.uk
“This body oil was a pleasure to use, it smells of lemons and herbs. For some reason it reminds me of Athens. The oil is so silky and soft and my skin loves it. My body feels so moisturised and smooth after using it. The effects are long lasting, the fragrance lingers on my body. I really love this and will be buying it again.” Shahida A

SILVER The Ritual of Sakura Sugar Body Polish, £18.90 rituals.com
BEST DEODORANT
GOLD Natural Deodorant - Orange & Patchouli, £7.25 kutis-skincare.co.uk

SILVER Fragrance Free Crystal Deo, £5.20 urtekram.com
BRONZE Eucalyptus & Peppermint Solid Deodorant Stick, £8.95 weleda.co.uk
BEST HANDCREAM
GOLD Chamomile Hand Rescue Balm, £10 soapfolk.com
“This solid balm melts with the warmth of my hands, feeling slightly greasy at first, but it’s perfect for my very dry skin. I use it as an overnight moisture treatment, and it’s worked wonders. My hands feel nourished, and my dry, ragged cuticles are now much softer and healthier. I liked the different packaging, a folded over piece of cardboard, tied with twine, with a circular cut out where the tin sits. The tin and minimal cardboard packaging can be easily recycled.” Catherine J
SILVER Gem's Dry Skin Balm, £16 gemsnaturalskincare.com
BRONZE Calendula and Marshmallow Balm, £11.99 lyonsleaf.co.uk
BEST MENSTRUAL CARE
GOLD Eco Femme Organic Day Pad, £8.50 earthwisegirls.co.uk
“Love, love, love this pad!!! It's bright pink on one side for starters - my favourite colour! With a gorgeous stripy pink side too. So already feels like a fabulous treat to wear. It's also incredibly soft and velvety which is obviously super comfortable. The wings secure easily with a popper and it doesn't feel bulky. I wore it for a medium flow day and it was very absorbent. What's more it washed and dried really well too. This would make a great gift for a girl who had just started her periods, it's so pretty. I love the values behind this product too and the fact it's handcrafted in India with organic cotton. I would 100% buy from this company in future.” Lucy C

GOLD Body Wash, £10 tropicskincare.com
“This is a really lovely creamy body wash. It’s a joy to use. I left my shower feeling clean and moisturised. It looks beautiful, fresh yellow and bright, I would pick it up from the shelf in a shop to have a closer look. The body wash dispenses easily and is easy to use. It is recyclable through the Tropic Recycle Reward scheme.” Katy H

BRONZE Fragrance Free Body Wash, £7.40 urtekram.com
BEST SOAP
GOLD Travel Bar, £2.99 friendlysoap.co.uk
“This is a nice smelling bar of soap. It is a bit of a multi-tasker - can be used as a hand and body soap, shampoo or even for clothes! It has a light zesty smell that has been created using lemongrass, lavender, tea tree and peppermint essential oils. Some of them work as insect repellent so might protect you from mozzies too, not just keep you clean! Great for travelling as it will save space in the 'liquids bag'. Really liked that it foams up so nicely and that feels like a proper squeaky clean.” Laura L

BEST SUPPLEMENT
GOLD Organic Boswellia Serrata, £24.97 trueveda.com
“I was looking forward to trying these capsules as I have struggled with my joints for the last couple of months since I started peri menopause. I work in a primary school so I’m always on my feet and it was becoming very painful. After only a few days of using these capsules I started noticing a considerable difference to my joints - some days there was no aching at all. My joints feel more supple and I have better movement. This product has got me interested in trying other capsules in the range. I love that it’s completely natural and I’m now no longer having to use unnecessary painkillers. I will be purchasing more as soon as these run out.” Lyn S

“It's been so great to see my two-year-old genuinely excited about a skincare product - the Little Butterfly London face cream for kids has become a delightful and fun part of our daily routine. It has an easy airless pump dispenser which only needs to be pressed down and a little bit is dispensed, so nothing goes to waste. It is perfectly designed for little hands, making it easy for her to use independently. The cream itself is light and fruity-fresh, and has nourishing ingredients like rosehip, marula, and flaxseed oils. I appreciate that it's 100% natural, organic-certified, and clinically tested to be gentle on sensitive and eczema-prone skin such as mine and my daughter’s.” Emma S

BEST BUBBLE BATH
GOLD Kit & Kin Baby Bubble Bath, £9.99 kitandkin.com
“This stuff is so lovely! I've been using it on the kids (super gentle on their skin) but also using it myself and it's perfect for a chill bath AND even works great as a shaving alternative. It bubbles up nicely without being full of harsh ingredients, it smells really gentle and clean, and leaves skin feeling soft, not stripped. It's one of those products that just feels nice to use – no dryness, no irritation, just happy skin all round. My little one has super sensitive skin (and I struggle with eczema myself), so I’m always a bit paranoid when it comes to bath products. So many of them are packed with stuff that causes flare-ups or leaves skin feeling dry and tight, but thankfully not this one. This stuff is super gentle. Honestly, I even sneak some into my own baths sometimes when my skin is acting up.” Emma S
