With the tagline 'Natural skincare with upcycled ingredients', Upcircle is a brand to watch because over the last few years, there has been some pretty incredibly products launching and today I am sharing two of them with you.
From candles and scrubs to bath salts and face masks, there is now a Shampoo Crème and Face Cleanser being added to the product line-up and they are like nothing else you will have tried.
The Shampoo Crème (£19.99), which comes packaged in a glass jar making it refillable, this shampoo crème is a hybrid of liquid and solid so its concentrated formula is said to deliver 3 times the washes of a liquid shampoo, which in turn means there is less waste than a shampoo bar usually due to the last slithers of the shampoo bar often being wasted.
As you might expect, this Shampoo Crème is a 100% natural shampoo with upcycled pink berry extract and alongside it you have Coconut Oil, Rosemary Oil, Grapefruit Peel Oil, Lavender Oil, Cedarwood Bark Oil, Clove Oil and Peppermint Oil, all of which come together to provide nourishment and it also works to protect against frizz and hair breakages.
As this Shampoo Crème is a concentrated paste, you don't need very much product at all. The key to using this product is to ensure your hair and scalp is wet through and then all you need is a very small amount to massage into your scalp and hair and it lathers really easily leaving your hair and scalp feeling so lovely clean and refreshed.
The second product is the Face Cleanser (£19.99) with Oat Powder and Aloe Vera and again, this product has been designed in a pump action bottle to make it much easier to dispense and use.
This gentle formula is also enriched with powerful yet natural ingredients, including upcycled oat powder, soothing aloe vera, nourishing jojoba oil, and hydrating shea butter which works to repair and restore the skin’s moisture barrier as it cleanses the skin. Suitable for all skin types, this everyday vegan facial cleanser.
Dermatologically approved, this cleanser is luxurious and it leaves your skin soft and smooth to the touch. I have been using this as a morning cleanse for weeks now and it is a delight to use.
If you are ready to switch up your hair and skin care and want to be plastic free, environmentally friendly and give back, then Upcircle has an amazing story to share.
