Skincare is a crowded market, and ‘natural’ is the new “normal”. Each product in our range sources and rescues by-products from other industries – the food and drink industry in particular. In recent years we have seen the dramatic rise of natural, then organic, then vegan and cruelty-free beauty, but we believe circular / by-product beauty will be the next step – we’re proud to be pioneering that movement.
If we can provide competitively priced, high performing products from upcycled ingredients then we 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 our success is anything to go on, it looks like the answer is yes. Hallelujah.


Fantastic UK based, UK made circular economy skincare company! Love your focus on all-natural ingredients, and your stance on recycling and refilling! 

I am in awe of this company, organic ingredients, zero waste policy and vegan. No animal cruelty, recyclable packaging and I like the refill options!

Great all-natural skincare products are cruelty-free, vegan, and organic & the packaging is 99% plastic-free! They also offer plastic-free refill options for products! Amazing!
