Circular Beauty: Formulating with Upcycled Ingredients

Beauty products can become more sustainable by embracing the concepts of circular beauty and upcycled ingredients.

Circular beauty involves using ingredients that would otherwise be considered waste material to create sustainable beauty products. This waste, usually from food, is ‘upcycled’ and used in skincare formulations.

Formulating with upcycled ingredients is one way that the beauty industry can contribute
to creating a circular economy that extends the lifecycle of products and reduces waste to a minimum.

In this class, you will learn:

  • What circular beauty is.
  • Pros and cons of formulating with upcycled ingredients.
  • Examples of upcycled ingredients.
  • Ingredient suppliers.
  • Certification.
  • Examples of circular beauty brands and upcycled products.

We will provide an example formula using upcycled coffee grounds so you can experience circular beauty for yourself using an ingredient from your own kitchen.

You will receive:

  • A professionally created Morning Coffee Body Scrub formula using an oil-gelling/self-emulsifying emulsifier and coffee grounds from your own kitchen!
  • Step-by-step instructions on how to make it.
  • Ideas on how to vary our example formula and troubleshooting tips.
  • A beautiful class PDF to download and keep.
