Welcome to better skin and a better planet!
We're UpCircle, a sustainable beauty brand that uses leftover natural ingredients to create high-performing skincare, haircare & accessories.
Where Did The Idea Come From?
Anna, co-founder: I was inspired to start UpCircle five years ago when I learned that coffee shops were paying to have their waste coffee grounds disposed of in landfills. As an aspiring makeup artist, I knew that coffee had great skincare benefits - especially the caffeine! So, I decided to repurpose coffee grounds into sustainable skincare products. We now collect coffee grounds from hundreds of coffee shops across the country, and we're looking for more!

🌟 PLUS - Save 20% every time you refill your UpCircle skincare!
When we discovered that more than 500,000 tonnes of coffee grounds in the UK alone are sent to landfill, me and my brother Will started collecting coffee from different cafes across London and transforming them into skincare products.
Now, 6 years later, we have saved 350 tonnes of coffee and rescued other ingredients from the argan, tea, juice, olive, date and wood industries.
We became the #1 upcycled beauty brand in the UK, backed by dermatologist and celebs, and we've proved the world can be circular, affordable and effective!
