World Environment Day (05 June) isn’t just about planting trees or switching off lights, it’s about rethinking the way we live, consume and care for our bodies and our planet.

One powerful step we can all take is to choose sustainable, natural and eco -conscious products and services that support both personal wellness and environmental health.

Here are some inspiring examples of brands doing just that: offering clean, conscious alternatives that help us tread more lightly on the Earth.

Skincare that honours the Earth

Rhythm of Beauty, founded by holistic facialist and natural skincare visionary Louise Allen, takes a truly harmonious approach to beauty.

Rooted in the rhythms of nature and the wisdom of the moon cycles, Louise’s handcrafted seasonal and celestial skincare uses wild-crafted herbs and flowers, grown with reverence and love.

Products like the Celestial Rose Face Cream, infused with blue lotus, pearl and gold, are not only 100% natural but also packaged in elegant glass to retain freshness without synthetic preservatives.

It’s skincare that honours the Earth while nurturing your skin.

Eco by Sonya Driver, the Australian skincare brand making waves globally, offers products like the Serum of Plenty, crafted with vitamin C, organic daisy and hyaluronic acid.

This vegan, cruelty-free brand prioritises purity, sustainability and ethical sourcing, all while delivering results that speak for themselves.

Sustainable supplements

Health & Her offers targeted nutritional support through expertly formulated supplements like the Multivitamin for Women Taking HRT.

Its science-backed, stage-specific products reflect a commitment to efficacy and sustainability, using responsibly sourced ingredients and minimal packaging waste.

True Veda brings centuries of ayurvedic wisdom into the modern age with supplements like its Organic Bacopa Monnieri.

Known to enhance clarity, memory and calm, it’s also sustainably sourced, vegan and certified organic – proof that tradition and ethical innovation can go hand in hand.

Botanical wisdom

Nature Spirits Scotland taps into the subtle energies of plants with its Vibrational Flower Essences and Aromatherapy Mists.

Crafted in harmony with nature in the Scottish Highlands, these products capture the spirit of the wild and are designed to gently support emotional wellbeing while maintaining a minimal ecological footprint.

Bona Dea Naturals uses botanical wisdom to deliver gentle, effective care with its Feminine Oil Blend.

Made with ingredients like tea tree, calendula and lemongrass, this natural, dermatologist-tested product is a sustainable self-care staple that’s both soothing and Earth friendly.

For those seeking a toast without the environmental toll (or the hangover), Thomson & Scott’s Noughty AF range is a gamechanger.

The alcohol-free sparkling and still wines are crafted from sustainably grown grapes and low-sugar recipes, proving that celebration can still be conscious.

Platinum Awards 2025

These brands show that sustainability isn’t a trend – it’s a transformation.

Whether it’s skincare made in rhythm with the moon, supplements derived from ancient plants or wine without the waste, each small, mindful choice we make helps build a healthier future for ourselves and the planet.

All these brands have entered the Platinum Awards, which are now in their tenth year of celebrating the best in natural and eco products and holistic services.
