Sustainable skincare made from repurposed Apricot stones
An everyday cleansing balm to gently remove makeup, pollution and impurities. Skin is deeply cleansed, soothed and hydrated.
Looking for a gentle way to remove makeup whilst providing nourishment to the skin? Look no further.
Reused, repurposed, reloved. This cleansing balm is made with the finely-ground powder of discarded apricot stones, a natural by-product of the apricot oil industry and rich in antioxidant Vitamin E. The effects of pollution can cause dull, lifeless skin. Use this balm to revive and brighten the complexion.
The balm is suitable for all skin types. The apricot stone powder is combined with skin-calming blackcurrant seed, blue tansy and sea buckthorn oils.
Size: 50ml
Housed in a glass jar with an aluminium lid in a cardboard outer - fully recyclable packaging.
How to use:
- This balm is best used as the first cleanse as it breaks down make-up, SPF and any oils (sebum, sweat) on the surface of the skin
- Follow with a water-based cleanse (like UpCircle's chai soaps) to remove any impurities in the pores
- Massage a coin-sized amount between your fingers and onto face in upward circular motions.
- Remove with a warm, damp cloth to reveal a clearer, brighter complexion.

UpCircle craft elevated skincare that's better for you and better for the planet.
Nature gives us lots of wonderful ingredients that make our skin healthier and more radiant – like used coffee grounds and brewed chai tea spices. But they often end up going to landfill. Why should all that good stuff go to waste?
It shouldn’t. That’s why UpCircle elevate leftover natural ingredients, bringing them back to life as beauty products your skin will love.
And as well as being 100% natural and vegan, this skincare range is also 100% brilliant. Because you shouldn’t have to choose between doing the right thing and getting the best results. With UpCircle, you get to enjoy the uplifting benefits of nature’s own skin rejuvenators – and do the planet some good, too.
That’s all-round better skincare. Reused, repurposed, reloved.
