Sustainable
A high performance mineral sunscreen designed for all skin tones.
UpCircle worked for 3 years to create a mineral sunscreen that doesn't leave any white cast and is adapted to all skin tones. Once applied the lightweight formula absorbs within five minutes to create a natural finish with a subtle glow.
This sunscreen is made from various high quality ingredients:
- upcycled raspberry seed oil: high in antioxidants, vitamin A and E which boost collagen production and shield skin from environmental pollution;
- zinc oxide: blends in to protect skin and leave nothing but a natural glow;
- sunflower oil: rich in fatty acids and glycerin helping strengthen the natural moisture barrier.

Their Values: Skincare is a crowded market, and ‘natural’ is the new “normal”. Each product in their range sources and rescues by-products from other industries – the food and drink industry in particular. In recent years they have seen the dramatic rise of natural, then organic, then vegan and cruelty-free beauty, but they believe circular / by-product beauty will be the next step – they’re proud to be pioneering that movement.
Their Mission: The circular economy sits at the heart of what they do – they even named theirselves after it! UpCircle also hints at ‘upcycling’, the process of making something better from things that already exist. Their ultimate mission is to leave the world better than they found it by transforming ingredients that would otherwise be discarded into natural, organic beauty products – better for you, better for the world.
Their Vision: If they can provide competitively priced, high performing products from upcycled ingredients then they are demonstrating that the beauty industry can become a lot less wasteful – it is an innovative approach and a fresh perspective. But, all of this effort is futile if the industry is not willing to open its arms to what-would-be waste ingredients. So… is the beauty world ready? Well, if their success is anything to go on, it looks like the answer is yes. Hallelujah.
