You should read this prospectus, the information incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference in this prospectus, and any applicable prospectus supplement and related free writing prospectus carefully before you invest.

We are registering the Shares for resale pursuant to the Selling Holder’s registration rights under the Subscription Agreement.

We provide more information about how the Selling Holder may sell the Shares in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution.” While we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Holder pursuant to this prospectus, we will receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants for cash. We have paid or will pay the fees and expenses incident to the registration of the Shares for sale by the Selling Holder. We will not be paying any underwriting discounts or commissions in any offerings pursuant to this prospectus..

We are an “emerging growth company” and a “smaller reporting company” under the U.S. securities laws and as such, have elected to comply with reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and may elect to comply with reduced public company reporting requirements in future filings.

The Class A Common Stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on The New York Stock Exchange at the market open on June 6, 2023.

The Company is a digital-first, sustainability-oriented consumer products innovator specializing in the development and sale of household, personal care, beauty and other consumer products with an environmental focus. In the United States, the Company sells its products through two channels: a direct-to-consumer platform at www.grove.co and its mobile applications, where it sells products from Grove-owned brands and third parties, and the retail channel into which it sells products from Grove-owned brands at wholesale. The Company develops and sells natural products that are free from the harmful chemicals identified in its “anti-ingredient” list and it designs form factors and product packaging that reduces plastic waste and improves the environmental impact of the categories in which it operates. The Company also purchases environmental offsets that have made it the first plastic neutral retailer in the world, and its goal is to be “Beyond Plastic” (its standard which indicates the best-available solutions in either zero plastic, refillable or reusable products containing minimal plastic) across its site by the end of 2025.

The Company was originally known as Virgin Group Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“VGAC II”). VGAC II was a blank check company incorporated on January 13, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On March 25, 2021, VGAC II consummated an initial public offering of 35,000,000 units at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, and a private placement with VG Acquisition Sponsor II LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (“Sponsor”) of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at an offering price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant. Each unit sold in the initial public offering and private placement consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant. On April 9, 2021, the underwriters of the initial public offering notified VGAC II of their intent to fully exercise their over-allotment option. As such, on April 13, 2021, VGAC II sold an additional 5,250,000 units, at a price of $10.00 per unit, and sold an additional 700,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, at $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant. Following the closing of the initial public offering and overallotment sale, an amount equal to $402,500,000 of the net proceeds from the initial public offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the trust account. Each such number of units and Private Placement Warrants and prices per unit and per Private Placement Warrant in connection with the initial public offering reflects pre-Reverse Stock Split values.

On June 16, 2022, as contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 7, 2021, as amended and restated on March 31, 2022 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among VGAC II, Treehouse Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of VGAC II (“Merger Sub 1”), Treehouse Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned direct subsidiary of VGAC II (“Merger Sub II”) and Grove Collaborative, Inc., a Delaware public benefit corporation (“Legacy Grove”), consummated the merger transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, whereby (i) Merger Sub I merged with and into Legacy Grove, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub I ceased and Legacy Grove became the surviving corporation (the “Initial Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of VGAC II (the “Initial Merger”) and (ii) immediately following the Initial Merger, and as part of the same overall transaction as the Initial Merger, the Initial Surviving Corporation merged with and into Merger Sub II, the separate corporate existence of the Initial Surviving Corporation ceased, and Merger Sub II continued as the surviving company and a wholly-

owned subsidiary of VGAC II (such transactions, the “Merger” and, together with the Domestication (as defined below), the “Business Combination”). Immediately prior to the closing of the Merger (the “Closing” and such date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”), VGAC II changed its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware by deregistering as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and domesticating and continuing as a public benefit corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”). In connection with the Business Combination, VGAC II changed its name to Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with Grove Collaborative, Inc. being the accounting acquirer and VGAC II as the acquired company for accounting purposes. Accordingly, all historical financial information presented in the consolidated financial statements represents the accounts of Grove Collaborative Inc.

Pursuant to the closing of the Business Combination, VGAC II filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a Charter and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which VGAC II was domesticated and continued as a Delaware corporation, changing its name to “Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc.”.

On June 5, 2023, the Company effected the Reverse Stock Split. Unless otherwise indicated, all share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. The Class A Common Stock trade on the NYSE under the symbol “GROV” and the Company’s Public Warrants may be quoted and traded in the over-the-counter market under the symbol “GROVW,” respectively.

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the JOBS Act) was enacted in April 2012 with the intention of encouraging capital formation in the United States and reducing the regulatory burden on newly public companies that qualify as emerging growth companies. We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the JOBS Act. We may take advantage of certain exemptions from various public reporting requirements, including the requirement that we provide more than two years of audited consolidated financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and that our internal controls over financial reporting be audited by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Sarbanes-Oxley Act). In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until those standards apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We have elected to use the extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (1) are no longer an emerging growth company and (2) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of (1) December 31, 2026; (2) the last day of the fiscal year during which our annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more; (3) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities; and (4) the end of any fiscal year in which the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the end of the second quarter of that fiscal year.

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our common stocks held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the end of that year’s second fiscal quarter and our annual revenue exceeds $100 million during such completed fiscal year, or (ii) the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million,

Pursuant to that certain previously disclosed Subscription Agreement, dated as of August 11, 2023, by and between the Company and the Selling Holder (the “Subscription Agreement”), on August 11, 2023, we issued and sold to the Selling Holder (i) 10,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a purchase price equal to $1,000 per share, which are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) the Common Warrants to purchase 1,579,778 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price per share of $6.33, on such additional terms as are further described in that certain previously disclosed Warrant to Purchase Common Stock, dated as of August 11, 2023, and (iii) the Penny Warrants to purchase 20,905 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price per share equal to $0.01, on such additional terms as are further described in that certain previously disclosed Warrant to Purchase Common Stock, dated as of August 11, 2023.

The foregoing description of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement and the securities issued in connection therewith is qualified in its entirety by referenced to the applicable agreements, filed as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 14, 2023, and the Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Investing in our securities involves risk. You should carefully consider the specific risks discussed or incorporated by reference into the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all the other information contained in this prospectus or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including those discussed above under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in subsequent filings, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus. These risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the SEC in the future or by a prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering of our securities. These risks and uncertainties are not the only risks and uncertainties we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently view as immaterial, may also impair our business. If any of the risks or uncertainties described in our SEC filings or any prospectus supplement or any additional risks and uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline and you might lose all or part of your investment.

The Selling Holder will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholder for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Stockholder in disposing of the securities. We will bear the costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, including all registration and filing fees, NYSE listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm.

This prospectus relates to the possible offer and resale by the Selling Holder of up to 6,340,019 shares of our Class A Common Stock, which consist of (i) 4,739,336 Series A Conversion Shares, (ii) 1,579,778 Common Warrant Shares and (iii) 20,905 Penny Warrant Shares, each as were issued in connection with certain agreements between us and the Selling Holders that were previously disclosed by us. For additional information regarding the Shares being offered by the Selling Holder pursuant to this prospectus, see “Summary—Description of Transactions Issuing the Shares to the Selling Holder” above.

The Selling Holder may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the Shares set forth below pursuant to this prospectus. When we refer to the “Selling Holder” in this prospectus, we mean the person listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Holder’s interest in the securities of the Company listed in the table below after the date of this prospectus such that registration rights shall apply to those securities.

The following table is prepared based on information provided to us by the Selling Holder and Schedules 13D and 13G filed with the SEC. It sets forth the name and address of the Selling Holder, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the Selling Holder may offer pursuant to this prospectus, and the beneficial ownership of the Selling Holder both before and after the offering. Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. A person is a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or “investment power”, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days of September 6, 2023. We have based percentage ownership after this offering on 30,376,285 shares of Class A Common Stock as of September 6, 2023. In calculating percentages of shares of Class A Common Stock owned by the Selling Holder, we excluded the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Selling Holder’s Warrants because they are not exercisable until the Warrant Exercise Date and, therefore, the Selling Holder will not acquire beneficial ownership of such Warrants within sixty days.

We cannot advise you as to whether the Selling Holder will in fact sell any or all of the securities set forth in the tables below. In addition, the Selling Holder may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time and from time to time, such securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act after the date of this prospectus. For purposes of the below tables, unless otherwise indicated below, we have assumed that the Selling Holder will have sold all of the securities covered by this prospectus upon the completion of the offering.

(1)Represents 4,739,336 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Series A Preferred Stock, but excludes the 1,600,683 shares underlying the Warrants. The Certificate of Designation of the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants include certain provisions that prevent the Selling Holder from converting its shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting its shares of Series A Preferred Shares on an as-converted-to-Common Stock basis or exercising its Warrants, as applicable, to the extent such action would result in the Selling Holder beneficially owning or voting in excess of 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding Class A Common Stock. Volition Capital Advisors IV, LLC is the general partner of the Selling Holder. The managing members of Volition Capital

Advisors IV, LLC are Lawrence Cheng, a member of the Company’s board of directors, Sean Cantwell and Roger Hurwitz (collectively, the “Managing Members”).

The address for the Selling Holder is 177 Huntington Avenue, 16th Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

The Shares covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Holder. We are not selling any shares of Class A Common Stock under this prospectus, and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares by the Selling Holder pursuant to this prospectus or any accompanying prospectus supplement. Upon exercise of any Warrants by payment of cash, however, we will receive the exercise price for the portion of any Warrants being exercised. The term “Selling Holder” includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest selling Shares received after the date of this prospectus from the Selling Holder (including the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus) as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market price or in privately negotiated transactions at privately negotiated prices. The Selling Holder may sell its Shares by one or more of, or a combination of, the following methods:

•in “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;

To the extent required, this prospectus may be amended or supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution. In connection with distributions of the Shares or otherwise, the Selling Holder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of Shares in the course of hedging transactions, and broker-dealers or other financial institutions may engage in short sales of Shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the Selling Holder. The Selling Holder may also sell Shares short and redeliver the Shares to close out such short positions or sell the Shares through lending such Shares. The Selling Holder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Shares offered by this prospectus, which Shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The Selling Holder may also pledge Shares to a broker-dealer, other financial institution or any other person or entity, and, upon a default, such broker-dealer, other financial institution or other person or entity may effect sales of the pledged Shares pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Holder may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell Shares covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use Shares pledged by the Selling Holder or borrowed from the Selling Holder or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use Shares received from the Selling Holder in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions may be an underwriter and, in such event, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, the Selling Holder may otherwise loan or pledge Shares to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the Shares short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

In offering the Shares covered by this prospectus, any broker-dealers who execute sales for the Selling Holder may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such cases, any profits realized by such broker-dealers on the resale of the Shares purchased by them and the compensation of any broker-dealer earned on the resale of the Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions.

We have advised the Selling Holder that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of Shares in the market and to the activities of the Selling Holder and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Holder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Holder may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the Shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

At the time a particular offer of Shares is made, if required, a prospectus supplement will be distributed that will set forth the number of Shares being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name of any underwriter, dealer or agent, the purchase price paid by any underwriter, any discount, commission and other item constituting compensation, any discount, commission or concession allowed or reallowed or paid to any dealer, and the proposed selling price to the public.

The Selling Holder may agree to indemnify the underwriters (and may also agree to indemnify broker-dealers and other agents), their officers, directors and each person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against certain liabilities related to the sale of the securities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Additionally, we and the Selling Holder have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We have agreed with the Selling Holder to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been sold and (2) the date on which all of the shares required to be registered for resale by the Selling Holder may be immediately sold to the public without limitation, restriction or condition (including any current public information requirement) pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
