Why being on this list means a lot.
We're incredibly proud to share that three San Margo products have been named finalists in the 2026 Clean + Conscious Awards.
- Bakuchiol Super Elixir Facial Oil – Best Natural Retinol / Bakuchiol
- Glorioso Botanical Intimate Oil – Best Intimate / Sexual Wellbeing
- Extraordinaria Firming Body Oil – Best Postpartum Support
For a young New Zealand brand, it's an honour to be recognised across three different categories by one of Australasia's leading conscious beauty awards.
What are the Clean + Conscious Awards?
Founded in Australia in 2019, the Clean + Conscious Awards recognise products that combine efficacy with responsible formulation, ingredient integrity and ethical business practices.
Unlike popularity contests or consumer voting awards, entries undergo an independent judging process that considers product performance, ingredients, sustainability, innovation and overall consumer experience. Finalists are then evaluated by an expert judging panel through hands-on product testing.
For consumers, the awards provide confidence that shortlisted products have been independently assessed against a rigorous set of criteria. For brands, they represent recognition that extends beyond marketing claims.
Why these nominations matter
One of the things we're most proud of is that each finalist represents a different area of modern wellbeing.
Bakuchiol Super Elixir Facial Oil
Finalist - Best Natural Retinol / Bakuchiol
Our award-winning facial oil combines clinically backed bakuchiol with ceramides, CoQ10 and Totarol™ to deliver visible anti-ageing results while remaining gentle enough for sensitive skin.
Glorioso Botanical Intimate Oil
Finalist - Best Intimate / Sexual Wellbeing
Created to bring luxurious, evidence-led care to intimate skin, Glorioso helps support hydration, comfort and the skin barrier during everyday life, pregnancy and menopause.
Extraordinaria Firming Body Oil
Finalist - Best Postpartum Support
Developed to deeply nourish skin through periods of change, Extraordinaria combines antioxidant-rich botanical oils with CoQ10 and squalane to support skin elasticity, hydration and comfort before, during and after pregnancy.
More than clean beauty
Since day one, we've believed consumers shouldn't have to choose between beautiful products, clinically backed ingredients and thoughtful sustainability.
Every San Margo formulation is fragrance-free, microbiome-conscious and dermatologically certified for sensitive skin. They're created to be a pleasure to use while supporting skin health through every stage of life.
Being recognised across skincare, body care and intimate care tells us we're moving in the right direction.
We'll be eagerly awaiting the winners announcement and are incredibly grateful to the Clean + Conscious Awards team for recognising our products.
