Vegan Hand Cream
Protect & Nourish. You and the planet.
After receiving multiple requests for this hand cream, we figured we had to try it. No surprise, we loved how UpCircle found the perfect balance of creaminess and fast absorption in this non-greasy formula. Which has a subtle, not potent, hibiscus flower scent. (Jennifer does not like floral scents and she loves this.)
As their name suggests, UpCircle always contains upcycled ingredients. In this case, hibiscus flower acids from the food supplement industry. Why hibiscus? Hibiscus flower acids contain 45% alpha-hydroxy acids, helping to gently eliminate pollutants from upper layers of the skin and stimulate cell renewal.
An effective Hand Cream is often the holy grail of skincare as without a doubt the skin on our hands gets an inordinate amount of exposure and in this post COVID world it's likely that a lot more serious hand washing is going on. Hands often end up dry, scaly and rough especially in the colder months. Insider secret - in the beauty arena that you get the best out of a product if you use it very regularly and consistently and this especially holds true for hand creams. If you want soft protected healthy skin on your hands you need to find a good hand cream and use it two or three times a day, every single day!

ABOUT THE COMPANY
UpCircle was founded in 2016 by brother and sister duo Will and Anna. As a beauty brand, they strive to encourage and inspire people to make the right choices for themselves and the planet. They believe that providing competitively priced, high performing products from upcycled ingredients demonstrates that the beauty industry CAN be less wasteful. UpCircle products are all inclusive—they're body positive, gender neutral, representing all ages, and they encourage diversity.
At the heart of their business is a circular economy model of reuse, recycling, upcycling, and waste reduction. Their products come from ingredients that would otherwise be discarded by repurposing and upcycling bio materials such as coffee grounds, spices, wood byproduct, and flowers.
Giving back is also at the company's core. UpCircle supports charities including Refuge, a domestic abuse charity, following the deeply concerning increase in domestic violence during lockdown; Save Elephant Foundation, helping captive elephants at risk from the lack of income for their owners; and The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust, who tackle inequality in all forms.
