Cleansing Face Balm - UpCircle

An award-winning everyday cleansing balm from UpCircle - removes makeup, SPF and impurities while leaving skin deeply cleansed, soothed and hydrated. 100% natural, vegan and plastic-free.

Made in the UK with upcycled apricot stone powder - a by-product of the apricot oil industry that would otherwise go to waste. Apricot powder is naturally rich in Vitamin E and gives the balm its gentle exfoliating quality. Blue tansy, sea buckthorn and a blend of plant oils round it out into a genuinely nourishing first cleanse.

Best used as the first step of your cleansing routine to break down makeup, SPF and surface oils. Follow with a water-based cleanse to clear anything remaining in the pores. 55ml.

FAQs

What makes UpCircle different from other skincare brands?
UpCircle build their products around upcycled ingredients - materials that would otherwise be discarded as by-products of other industries. The apricot powder in this balm comes from the apricot oil industry; the chamomile in their toner comes from the tea industry. It's a genuinely circular approach.

Do I need to use a separate cleanser after this?
For a thorough cleanse, yes - this balm is designed as a first cleanse to break down makeup, SPF and oils. Following it with a water-based cleanser removes anything remaining in the pores. For a light cleanse on days without much makeup, it can work on its own.

Can I refill my jar rather than buying new?
Yes - local customers can save 25% by using our Refill UpCircle Cleansing Balm service. Check our Refill Delivery Information page to see if you're in our delivery area.
