Many consumer brands are looking for ways to eliminate waste across all aspects of their supply chain, and 'Full Circle' is one brand setting itself apart with its industry-leading methods.
Full Circle is a UK-based ingredient manufacturer with a mission to prevent waste by growing the upcycled beauty economy. Solely focused on creating upcycled cosmetic ingredients, the Full Circle portfolio allows formulators to create revolutionary beauty products that make excellent use of the precious resources around us without compromising quality or efficacy.
Full Circle has recently launched Gin TONIQ® – a new upcycled, cosmetic ingredient made from repurposed gin distillery leftovers. Combining upcycled grain ferment and responsibly sourced glycerine, Gin TONIQ® quenches thirsty skin by offering long-lasting hydration while delivering three times the moisture levels than glycerine alone. For every bottle of gin produced, Full Circle can upcycle 4 liters of gin distillery leftovers.
Gin TONIQ® is the first launch in a planned series of upcycled water-soluble active ingredients, forming a ‘TONIQ®’ range to complement the existing line-up of NECTA® oil-soluble actives and CRUSH™ upcycled scrubs and powders.
