# Upcycled Produce Care Products The Body Shop's Carrot Cleanser & Moisturizer Use "Ugly" Produce By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2019-07-08 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleanser-and-moisturizer References: [bustle](https://www.bustle.com/p/the-body-shops-carrot-collection-is-helping-to-reduce-global-food-waste-18172687) & [thebodyshop](https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-ca/face/face-cleanser/carrot-wash-energizing-face-cleanser/p/p003258) The Body Shop is known for creating a variety of products that spotlight unique fruits and vegetables and its cleanser and moisturizer are "enriched with organic carrots too naturally wonky to sell in the supermarkets." While the vegan-friendly Carrot Wash Energizing Face Cleanser forms a rich lather to leave the skin feeling smooth and energized, the Carrot Cream Nature Rich Daily Moisturizer provides long-lasting hydration and protection from aggressors that can compromise the look and health of the skin. Both of these products are packaged in 100% recyclable packaging. While consumers have been seeing many snack brands adopting the use of so-called "ugly" produce, body care brands are now also creatively embracing ways to nourish the body and reduce food waste. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Upcycled Beauty Products:** Creating beauty products using 'ugly' produce to reduce food waste and provide unique skincare benefits. - **Eco-friendly Packaging:** Utilizing 100% recyclable packaging for beauty products to promote sustainable practices. - **Plant-based Skincare:** Developing vegan-friendly skincare products infused with organic fruits and vegetables for natural nourishment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Exploring innovative ways to incorporate upcycled produce into skincare products to meet consumer demand for sustainable and natural beauty solutions. - **Food and Beverage:** Collaborating with beauty brands to supply 'ugly' produce for creating upcycled skincare products and reducing food waste. - **Packaging and Recycling:** Providing eco-friendly packaging solutions and recycling services for beauty brands committed to sustainable practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Naturally Powered Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-lush-skincare.md) - [Upcycled Kale Moisturizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrating-gel-moisturizer.md) - [Upcycled Beet Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-boosting-serum.md) - [Upcycled Carrot Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrot-crackers.md) - [Grocer-Launched Vegan Skincare Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-skincare-products.md) - [Food Waste-Based Moisturizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/great-skin-moisturizer.md) - [Pumpkin-Inspired Skincare Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pumpkininspired-skincare.md) - [Upcycled Fruit Chews](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/climate-candy.md) - [Sustainable Dry Body Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-velvet-body-oil.md)
