WHAT WE SAY:

Since 2019, Full Circle Upcycled Beauty (Upcycled Beauty Ltd) has been creating beauty ingredients made from the by-products of the food and beverage industries.

Inspiring beauty brands and formulators to make more sustainable choices by enabling them to move the industry towards a circular, zero-waste system, this is exactly the kind of business we should all be backing – making waste beautiful and useful.

ABOUT FULL CIRCLE

  • Located in Royal Tunbridge Wells, UK, Full Circle shares a location and company directors with Adina Cosmetic Ingredients.
  • All ingredients are plant-based, vegan and cruelty-free, and the company's vision is for every beauty and personal care product to be made mostly or wholly from recycled or repurposed materials.
  • Products from Full Circle are processed and manufactured in the UK from raw by-product ingredients which originate globally. The company has three key collections – Necta, Toniq and Crush, the latter of which is ideal for waterless, powder-based products.
  • Necta products are active-ingredient oils for skin and hair care formulations. They are unrefined and include natural antioxidants and emollients. The currently available Necta range is derived from blueberries, raspberries and Hemp seeds. A recent study demonstrated that Full Circle’s Raspberry Necta outperformed standard raspberry oil.
  • Toniq products are water-soluble active ingredients for face and body care applications. The ingredients are made from the by-products of beer fermentation and gin distillation, and two options – Barley Toniq and Gin Toniq – are currently available.
  • Crush is a range of both exfoliating powdered ingredients and powdered active ingredients. The latter can be used as a base for colour cosmetic products, as well as in skincare and cleansing products. The exfoliants are ideal for skincare and body care scrubs. Five powders are in the Full Circle portfolio – olive, white rice, charcoal, raspberry and blueberry.
  • Current brands working with Full Circle include Wildefruit, Kind2, Soaphisticated, Beauty Kubes, Coast Sydney Botanicals and Shhh... Menopause Wellness. Full Circle claims to have used over 350 million leftover berries, 32 million leftover hemp seeds and Olive Pits, alongside thousands of kilograms of white rice and charcoal.
  • Full Circle requires no minimum order quantity and is cost-competitive, with the aim of removing barriers to entry for small companies. The global distribution network includes resellers Adina (UK), Amitahc (Italy and Poland), Masso (France), SQM (Spain and Portugal), Sellcare (Switzerland and Austria) and small order quantities (less than 1 kilogram) directly through the Full Circle Online Shop.
  • All Full Circle products are supplied in packaging materials that can either be reused or recycled where facilities exist. It should be noted that while the Necta range is shipped in Aluminium bottles, some Crush products ship in HDPE (plastic).
