Organic Face Oil with Coffee + Rosehip

UpCircle Beauty makes this organic face oil in the UK from coffee seed oil, extracted from spent grounds collected from cafés across London, and blends it with rosehip, jojoba, sea buckthorn and raspberry seed oils.

Upcycled Coffee Face Oil

Siblings Anna and William Brightman started UpCircle in 2016 after seeing how much spent coffee London's coffee shops were sending to landfill, and this face oil is the clearest expression of that first idea. Sunflower and safflower oils form the base, rosehip and sea buckthorn bring their fatty acids, and jojoba, which sits close to the skin's own oils, keeps the texture light. Bergamot, geranium, rose, palmarosa and vetiver give it a soft, green scent, and UpCircle lists 98% of the formula as organic.

Face Oil for Dry Skin

A Scottish climate is hard on skin, with wind and cold outdoors and central heating drying the air indoors for much of the year, and this is the oil we reach for when the face starts to feel tight. Three or four drops pressed in after moisturiser leave skin feeling soft and supple again, with a healthy glow. It suits all skin types, UpCircle describes it as dermatologically approved, and a drop or two also smooths the ends of the hair, a beard or dry cuticles.

A B Corp Skincare Brand

UpCircle has been a certified B Corporation since November 2022, with a verified score of 107.2 against a median of 50.9 for ordinary businesses. The oil is vegan.

How to Keep Your Face Oil Fresh

Close the dropper tightly after each use and keep the bottle away from sunny windowsills and radiators, because light and warmth make plant oils turn sooner. Warm the drops between your palms before pressing them in, so the oil spreads evenly and a little goes further. Once it's empty, remove the dropper and the glass bottle can go in with your glass recycling.
