First Light® Tree Essence Collection Announced as a Finalist in the 2026 Clean + Conscious Awards
We are delighted to share some very special news.
The First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® Tree Collection – The Personal Power Set has been announced as a finalist in the 2026 Clean + Conscious Awards in the Spiritual Wellness Product category.
The Clean + Conscious Awards celebrate brands and products across Australia and New Zealand that are helping to create a healthier, kinder and more sustainable future. Their finalist selection process recognises products that demonstrate excellence not only in quality and performance, but also in health, sustainability, ethics and social responsibility.
To have the First Light®Tree Collection recognised in this way is an honour — and a beautiful acknowledgement of the power, intelligence and healing support of New Zealand’s native trees.
A Sacred Collection for Personal Power
The First Light® Tree Collection – The Personal Power Set contains seven native New Zealand tree essences, each one corresponding to one of the seven major chakras.
The First Light® tree essences work at the level of the chakras, helping to balance, strengthen, protect, energise and clear these important centres of life force, personal power and spiritual connection.
When our chakras are balanced and supported, we can feel more grounded, more empowered, open-hearted and connected to who we truly are.
This is why the Tree Essence Collection is known as the Personal Power Set.
Why This Recognition Matters
Spiritual wellness is no longer something that sits quietly on the edges of wellbeing.
More and more people are recognising that true wellbeing includes not only the body and mind, but also the emotional, energetic and spiritual aspects of who we are.
The Clean + Conscious Awards’ Spiritual Wellness category celebrates products that support this deeper dimension of self-care. The official 2026 finalist list includes the First Light® Tree Essence Collection – The Personal Power Set alongside other conscious spiritual wellness products.
For First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand®, this recognition speaks to something we have always known and honoured: nature is one of our greatest healers and teachers.
The native trees of Aotearoa New Zealand are some of the most ancient on the planet. When taken in the form of First Light Flower Essences of New Zealand® tree essences, they offer gentle yet powerful support for those seeking greater balance, inner equilibrium and personal power.
