Discover Ethical, Handmade Skin Care...
Founded by siblings William and Anna Brightman in 2016, UpCircle has evolved from creating a single product to offering a whole range of pioneering beauty solutions.
If you’re unsure where to start, give the much-loved Coffee Face Scrub a go – you can choose a Citrus, Floral or Herbal blend. UpCircle’s face coffee scrub is a natural exfoliator which gently buffs away dead skin cells, paving the way for a smoother, clearer complexion. Exfoliating has other benefits too, like unclogging pores, enhancing radiance and help other products penetrate deeper into skin to deliver better results.
For those seeking spicier options, the Chai Soap Bars are a must. The Chocolate Charcoal Chai Soap Bar, for example, is great for detoxifying and brightening both your body and face. It contains cocoa to improve circulation and activated charcoal to draw out toxins. Simply apply with water to create a creamy, rich lather – and let it work its magic.
All of the brand’s products are handmade in the UK. What’s more, they’re all organic, vegan and cruelty-free.
Did you know? Over 6 million tonnes of food are wasted every year in the UK alone. Knowing that by-products of the food & drink industry have so much offer still, the brand is determined to sourcing and repurposing them into effective serums, toners, and much more.
