UpCircle's plastic-free mineral sunscreen protects your skin from premature aging caused by the sun. This non-nano mineral sunscreen does not contain ingredients that are harmful to you and the coral reefs.
Raspberries
UpCircle gives ‘waste’ a second life by incorporating otherwise discarded ingredients into its natural skincare products. UpCircle’s sunscreen contains raspberry seed oil, made from raspberry seeds from the juice industry, to protect and hydrate the skin. Raspberries are high in antioxidants and vitamins A and E, which stimulate collagen production for plumper-looking skin and protect the skin from free radical damage.
Aloe vera, sunflower oil & lavender oil
Other natural and powerful ingredients used in this sunscreen are aloe vera, sunflower oil, and lavender oil. The skin-soothing properties of the aloe vera soothe and hydrate the skin. The non-comedogenic sunflower oil and lavender oil fight breakouts, making the sunscreen great for those with acne-prone skin.
Why SPF 25?
SPF 25 blocks 96% of all UVB rays. There is only a 1% difference between SPF 25 and SPF 30 and only a 2% difference between SPF 25 and SPF 50 in UV protection, because SPF 30 blocks 97% and SPF 50 blocks 98% of all UVB rays. The best way to protect your skin from the sun is to apply sunscreen regularly!
Instructions for use
Apply the sunscreen to the skin. Massage until the cream is absorbed. Reapply regularly or after swimming, perspiring or toweling. This sunscreen is suitable for all skin tones. The zinc oxide is of high quality and does not leave a white cast. After applying, it takes about 15 minutes for the sunscreen to be absorbed and create a natural glow on the skin.
UpCircle's SPF25 is formulated as a day cream for the face, but can also be used for the rest of the body.
Use the metal spatulas from UpCircle to easily scoop the sunscreen out of the jar without having to use your fingers.
Packaging
Packaged in a glass jar with an aluminum lid. The packaging is fully recyclable. There is a plastic liner in the lid. This is to protect the aluminum lid from the essential oils in the cream. Essential oils can cause aluminum to oxidize (meaning it gets a black coating) which can spoil the product. There is currently no better alternative available. We recommend reusing the jars as much as possible. If you are throwing them away, remove the plastic liner from the lid and put it in the plastic waste.

Over Het Merk
UpCircle
UpCircle was founded in 2016 by twin brother and sister Will and Anna. The circular economy is at the heart of UpCircle’s approach. The name UpCircle refers to ‘upcycling’; the process of making something that already exists better. UpCircle’s mission is to leave the world better than it found it by transforming otherwise wasted ingredients into natural, organic beauty products.
Every product in UpCircle’s portfolio contains and rescues byproducts from other industries – specifically the food and beverage industry. The UpCircle story began with the idea of giving used coffee grounds a second life. In addition to coffee grounds, UpCircle is now also giving chai tea spices and fruit pits a new lease on life. Food ingredients can have powerful effects on the body – inside and out. This opens up the possibility of creating beauty products from food ingredients that would otherwise be thrown away, but that still have a lot to offer our skin.
UpCircle uses only the finest plant-based ingredients and never tests on animals. UpCircle products are 99% plastic-free in packaging, and for the remaining 1% they offer plastic-free refill options.
