UpCircle Beauty
UpCircle Beauty are a family run company whose mission is to transform ingredients that would otherwise be discarded (like coffee grounds, chai spices, fruit and olive stones, and chamomile stems), into natural, organic beauty products. They are plastic-negative and remove more ocean-bound plastic than their packaging uses, and instead opt for recyclable materials like glass, aluminium and cardboard. They also offer a Return + Refill Scheme, that is available on over 90% of their skincare range – simply return your empties and they’ll refill them and send them back to you!
