FOR SKIN THAT WANTS HYDRATION... LOTS OF IT!

Designed for menopausal or perimenopausal skin that needs hydration.

Hormonal changes can affect how your skin looks, feels and behaves. It might feel drier than usual, become oilier or more sensitive, or feel hot and flushed...

That’s why we created Ceramide Gel Moisturizer:

✔️ Delivers deep hydration without feeling heavy on the skin

✔️ Cooling sensation on contact leaving the skin feeling soothed

✔️ Helps keep face & neck firm and supports the skin barrier

HOW DOES IT WORK?

ENCAPSULATED CERAMIDES

Loose ceramides break down the moment a formula is opened. Ours don't. Ceramide NP is sealed inside tiny lipid parcels, protected until it reaches your skin barrier, where it releases gradually for HOURS.

9 HYDRATING INGREDIENTS AT 3 DIFFERENT LEVELS.

On the surface: Glycerin and eight other water-loving ingredients pull hydration into the top layer of skin.

Anchored to it: Saccharide isomerate binds to skin, so hydration stays put.

Inside the cell: Upcycled myo-inositol helps skin cells manage their own water balance from within.

Paired with upcycled maca peptides, it works from underneath while the gel itself stays weightless and cool on top.

Powder To Foam Face Wash with Willow Bark + Papaya Enzymes

Our gentle foaming face wash transforms from a silky powder into a soft, cushiony foam the moment it meets water. Soap-free and powered by mild plant-derived surfactants, it lifts away makeup, oil, sunscreen and daily build-up without leaving skin feeling tight or stripped.

At the heart of the formula are papaya enzymes and upcycled willow bark, a botanical duo that helps support a smoother, fresher, more refined-looking complexion with every cleanse. Papain (the enzyme from papaya) gently loosens dull, dead surface cells, while willow bark adds a clarifying botanical note to the wash. Upcycled rice lees bring softness and a glow-supporting finish, and a quiet supporting cast of green tea, centella, chamomile and panthenol keeps skin feeling calm and comfortable.

Think of the powder as your blank canvas, and the enzymes and botanicals as the skin-loving extras that get to work the moment water hits your palm. Just a coin-sized amount foams up into a luxurious lather, so a little goes a long, long way.

Suitable for all skin types, this everyday vegan enzyme face wash leaves skin feeling buttery soft, fresh and balanced. pH-balanced to 5.5 when activated with water.

Inspiring, upcycling, uplifting: Our foaming face wash is made with willow bark and rice lees upcycled from agricultural and food industry by-products, giving discarded materials a second life as skin-loving ingredients.

Cruelty-free, vegan and dermatologically tested. Plastic-free packaging.

Siblings by chance, business partners by choice!

When we discovered that more than 500,000 tonnes of coffee grounds are sent to landfill per year in the UK, my brother Will and I started collecting brewed coffee from cafes across London and transforming it into skincare products.

Now, 10 years later, we've saved 450 tonnes of coffee and rescued other
ingredients from the argan, tea, juice, olive, date and wood industries.

We're now the #1 upcycled beauty brand in the UK, backed by dermatologists and celebs. We're proud to have proven to the world that beauty products can be circular, affordable and performance-led!
