UpCircle recently launched a range of new products, including an eco Face Mask that's made with repurposed food waste ingredients. The clarifying, plant-based face mask treatment is beneficial for combating blackheads, minimizing pores and preventing future breakouts with a fine powder made from olive stones—a natural by-product of the olive oil industry. The face mask for all skin types also features other ingredients like white kaolin clay, coconut powder and baobab oil for added cleansing, refreshing and balancing properties.
The product is packaged in a fully recyclable glass and aluminum container that's free from plastic.
The other newest products from UpCircle also feature repurposed food waste ingredients, such as apricot stones in the Cleansing Face Balm and the disused argan shells in the brand's Face Moisturizer.
