A few exciting nominations are still unfolding

Clean + Conscious Awards 2026

FINALIST, Multiple Categories

The Clean + Conscious Awards celebrate products that are safe, ethical, sustainable and socially responsible.

A Message from Our Founder, Sophie.

When I started Seed & Sprout, I never imagined how far this little idea would grow. What began with a single lunchbox has blossomed into a full range of products that touch almost every part of daily life, from the kitchen to personal care and beyond.

Seeing our work recognised through these awards is incredibly humbling, but the real win is what they represent - a community of people who care. None of this would be possible without our passionate team who pour their hearts into every product, and without you - our community - who continue to support, share, and choose better every single day.

These awards aren’t just ours; they belong to EVERYONE who believes that small changes can make a big difference. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping turn what was once just a dream into something truly meaningful.
