DETAILS

Most ceramide moisturisers are heavy creams. This one is a gel. It cools the second it touches your skin, sinks in with no film and no shine, and leaves nothing for your SPF or makeup to fight with. Ceramide comfort, without the cream.

At the heart of the formula are Ceramide NP and upcycled maca root peptides, sealed inside tiny lipid parcels rather than stirred loose into the gel. That's encapsulation technology: it shields them from light and oxidation, and delivers them with intention rather than at random. It's the reason a gel this light can carry ingredients this rich.

Underneath, nine water-loving ingredients hold hydration in three different ways. Glycerin draws water into the surface. Saccharide isomerate binds to the skin so hydration stays put instead of evaporating off. Upcycled myo-inositol helps skin cells manage their own water balance from within, and upcycled bilberry seed oil brings the softness a plain gel can't.

The cooling isn't menthol and it isn't a fragrance. It comes from an odourless ingredient that speaks to TRPM8, the receptor in your skin that senses coolness. No sting, no minty smell, nothing to bother reactive skin. Fragrance-free, but you'll still feel it.

Made for skin that changes. Designed with mature and hormonally fluctuating skin in mind: skin that runs warm, flushes easily, feels tight one day and can't bear anything rich the next. Whether you're navigating menopause or perimenopause, or your skin is simply oily, combination or different every week, this is the lightest way to wear ceramides.

Inspiring, upcycling, uplifting: three ingredients in this bottle have already had a first life. Bilberry seeds are rescued after the berries are used for their deep purple colour, myo-inositol is recovered from a sugar-production side stream, and maca root arrives via the food industry. Three ingredients, two lives.

Vegan, cruelty-free, formulated and made in the UK. No added fragrance. 95% natural ingredients. Housed in a glass bottle with a pump.

INGREDIENTS

95% NATURAL INGREDIENTS:
Aqua (Water), Propylene Glycol, Glycerin, Inositol, Polysorbate 20, Vaccinium Myrtillus Seed (Bilberry) Oil, Lepidium Meyenii (Peruvian Ginseng) Root Extract, Ceramide NP, Saccharide Isomerate, Mannitol, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Maltodextrin, Phosphatidylcholine, Cetyl Alcohol, Sorbitan Isostearate, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Methylpropanediol, Sodium Hydroxide, Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Hydroxyacetophenone, Caprylyl Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Phenylpropanol.

HOW TO USE

Apply morning and evening to clean, dry skin. Use one to two pumps and massage gently into the face and neck. Apply after your serum and before SPF. A gel spreads further than a cream, so you need less than you think. Patch test if your skin is reactive.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We're here to help!

What does UpCircle stand for?

UpCircle was founded on a simple (but ambitious) question: What if we could make skincare and haircare from things that would otherwise go to waste? Circularity - reusing, repurposing, reinventing - isn’t just part of what we do, it’s our everything. Our name. Our mission. Our reason for jumping out of bed in the morning. That’s why every UpCircle product is made with upcycled ingredients - from coffee and chai spices, to fruit peels, pulp and stones, to flower petals and stems. Ingredients that have had two lives. The first in someone else’s product. The second in ours. Our range is natural, certified Vegan, certified Cruelty-Free, certified Plastic Negative and we're a B Corp. All of our products are formulated without SLS, SLEs, parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, parfum and sulfates.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 14 day money back guarantee. If you are not happy with your products for any reason you have 14 calendar days (from delivery) to return them. Any items received back within this period will receive a full refund.

When will I receive my order?

We offer 24 or 48 hour shipping options at checkout. Orders placed by 12pm are usually shipped same day. Need something urgently? Send an email to hello@upcirclebeauty.com once you've placed your order and we'll do our best to help!

Do you have a packaging return scheme?

For five years, we ran a successful packaging returns scheme for 99% of our range. Customers would purchase refills, send back their empty packaging using a Freepost label, and we’d sterilise and refill them at our London warehouse. Since launching the scheme in 2020, we’ve invested heavily in growing it: hiring dedicated staff, covering return shipping, offering 20% off all refills, and ensuring it was widely accessible and promoted. Refills quickly became a big part of our customer care (30% of all customer care enquiries related to refills) and community - and we’re proud of the impact it’s had. However, as the scheme grew, so did the challenges. Many returned jars arrived unclean, smashed, with no information, incorrect jars were sent, or were over-packaged using lots of plastic, making safe, timely and sustainable processing increasingly difficult. Being UK-based also limited our ability to scale the system internationally. That’s why we’re evolving. We’re currently developing a new at-home refill system using biodegradable, plastic-free pouches - suitable for our full product range. It’s taken time to get the material just right, but we're excited about a promising solution in testing now. While we’ve had to pause our existing scheme during a move to a new warehouse, we hope to launch our next-generation, global refill option early next year.
