UpCircle Eye Cream
UpCircle Eye Cream
On Earth Day, UpCircle is launching their new Eye Cream which rescues two natural ingredients for its formula by recycling bark from maple trees and coffee extract. The gentle eye cream not only reduces the appearance of dark circles and fine lines but also brightens and refreshes the treated area by using hyaluronic acid.
Suitable for all skin types, the ingredients include coffee oil extracted from repurposed grounds and anti-inflammatory maple bark extract, which is a common by-product of the wood industry. UpCircle’s Eye Cream comes in a refillable glass jar and is natural, vegan, cruelty-free and handmade in the UK.
