Upcircle's Coffee & Lemongrass Body Scrub promises to revive the senses and soothe the skin.
The leading eco beauty skincare brand makes their scrub with reclaimed coffee grounds, which are naturally rich in antioxidants. These grounds buff away dead and dry skin, giving gentle exfolliation.
They're added to a blend of shea butter and coconut oils, which work to hydrate and nourish the skin. And the addition of zesty lemongrass and lime essential oils helps gives this scrub a revitalising and uplifting fragrance.
UpCircle Beauty specialise in repurposing food products in their cosmetics that would otherwise go to waste. For their Coffee Body Scrubs they have sourced the finest Arabica coffee grounds from artisan cafes in London, which would normally be thrown away.
Coffee grounds make the perfect natural exfoliator. They don't dissolve in water and so are effective at sloughing away dead skin while also boosting circulation, which can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite. The coffee grounds are also a rich source of antioxidants that nourish skin and can help repair and soothe skin damage.
Like all UpCircle cosmetics, the Coffee & Lemongrass Body Scrub is vegan and cruelty-free. It is also packaged plastic-free in a large attractive frosted glass jar with aluminium lid and then packed in a protective cardboard box.

Why we love UpCircle... They are pioneers of the circular/sustainable beauty industry. They take natural by-products from the food and drinks industry, which would otherwise be thrown away, and transform these "waste" items, such as coffee grounds and apricot stones, into vital, skin-boosting ingredients in their natural cosmetics. In this way they are proving that the beauty industry can cut down on waste.
