UpCircle Beauty Coconut-free and Palm-free Eye Cream

Those of us with coconut allergies appreciate it when a brand has a few products that don’t contain coconut or its derivatives. That’s why we’re happy to see UpCircle Beauty back again in the Sensitive Skin Oasis. UpCircle Beauty is a UK-based brand that is vegan, organic, cruelty free, palm oil free, and sustainable. Previously we featured their cleansing balm and their coffee serum, both of which are coconut free as well. This time, UpCircle Beauty is taking on those annoying dark under eye circles with their coconut-free eye cream.

UpCircle Beauty, like all of us, has seen the waste created by industries. They make their award-winning products in a creative way by upcycling industry by-products that would normally be wasted. UpCircle Beauty uses their creativity and innovation to transform those ingredients that would otherwise be discarded – along with all the potential inside of them. As a plus, their packaging is fully recyclable. UpCircle really walks the walk.

Ingredients your under eyes love

This coconut-free eye cream uses coffee oil made from coffee grounds that UpCircle Beauty has upcycled. The UK throws away half a million tons of used coffee grounds annually. The brewing of the coffee did not remove all the goodness from the grounds.

UpCircle Beauty collects coffee grounds from coffee shops in London to make their coffee oil.

Coffee oil is full of vitamin C, antioxidants, and flavonoids. The caffeine from the coffee in this eye cream boosts collagen, constricts blood vessels to reduce redness, and minimizes fine lines. It also brightens your skin by lightening those dark under eye circles, making it look you had a good night’s sleep.

There are many ingredients in this eye cream that will have a visible effect on your eyes. The hyaluronic acid in the eye cream plumps up the skin. When paired with the coconut-free glycerin, hyaluronic moisturizes the skin making it look younger. Then there is the upcycled maple bark extract, a by-product from the wood industry. Maple bark’s anti-inflammatory properties are what tired puffy eyes need. It’s just a fact that all of us are constantly losing collagen. Sadly, collagen loss leads to wrinkles. Thus, maple bark extract, a collagen booster, is a welcome ingredient in this eye cream.

Incorporate this coconut-free eye cream in your routine

Apply UpCircle Beauty’s eye cream before applying moisturizer all over your face in the morning and before bed. The bottle has a pump so getting the right amount onto your finger is easy. Then dab it in using your finger. Since the skin under your eye is so sensitive, it doesn’t need to be rubbed in very hard. To keep yourself from going overboard, try using your ring finger to rub it in since it’s weaker compared to your other fingers.
