We're Finalists in the Clean + Conscious Awards 2026!
05.28.2026Why being on this list means something.
Two of our products have been named finalists in the Clean + Conscious Awards 2026, and we wanted to take a moment to explain what that means, and why we care.
What are the Clean + Conscious Awards?
Founded in Australia in 2019, the Clean + Conscious Awards were created to celebrate safe, ethical, and socially responsible products. They're now in their eighth year, and what started as a small corner of the internet for conscious brands has grown into one of the most trusted product directories in Australia and New Zealand.
The thing that sets C+C apart is how seriously they take the process. Every product is initially reviewed in-depth by their Head of Research and Education. Finalists then send additional products for hands-on testing by the expert panel, reviewed under real-life conditions. It's not a vote. It's not a submission form and a badge. It's nan assessment by people who know their stuff.
The awards exist to honour brands with a purpose, to do things better, and to connect them with an audience who shares those values.
Our two finalists.
Milk Maker is up for Best Breastfeeding + Nipple Care. Breastfeeding support is an area where the quality of ingredients really counts. You're formulating for women navigating one of the most demanding seasons of their lives, and Milk Maker was built with that in mind: high-strength, evidence-backed, and nothing unnecessary. Getting recognised in this category by an independent panel of experts is exciting!
Hydrate⁴ is up for Best Performance Supplement. Four essential electrolytes, sugar free, no artificial additives. The performance supplement space is noisy and often full of compromise, big claims, and questionable ingredients. Hydrate⁴ was always about doing it differently: high-strength nutrition, simplified. Being recognised as a finalist in an awards programme built around clean and ethical formulation. That's the goal.
The bigger thing we're part of.
More brands are choosing to do things differently, and it's exciting to be part of that movement. The C+C Awards exist to make that easier to see, connecting conscious consumers with brands they can actually trust.
We're proud to sit alongside brands doing this work properly. Grateful to the C+C team for continuing to shine a light on it.
Winners are announced on the 2026 Finalists page soon.
