Get the glow that keeps on giving with UpCircle’s best-selling Organic Face Oil, made from 100% natural ingredients that nourish, brighten, and protect your skin. This cult favourite has been rebranded to make it clearer how to use it, but the award-winning formula remains the same.
 
In this face oil, repurposed coffee grounds are given a new life as antioxidant-rich coffee oil, blended with nourishing rosehip and jojoba oils. The result is a lightweight yet powerful formula that locks in moisture, supports collagen production, and leaves skin with a natural, healthy glow.
 
UpCircle is the UK’s leading upcycled beauty brand, transforming ingredients that would otherwise go to waste into high-quality skincare. Every purchase supports a more sustainable and low-waste approach to skincare.
