Most night creams use mineral oil or petrolatum, synthetic fragrance, and parabens. UpCircle uses plant-based emollients with niacinamide (vitamin B3 — documented for skin tone, pore appearance, and barrier function) and hyaluronic acid. No mineral oil, no synthetic fragrance, no parabens. B Corp certified.
✦ Ingredient Spotlight: Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Applied topically, it draws moisture into the skin. Molecular weight determines penetration depth — lower molecular weight HA reaches deeper layers, while higher molecular weight provides surface plumping. Effective at 0.1–2% concentration.
UpCircle is a B Corp certified skincare brand that uses upcycled ingredients from the food and beverage industry. 99%+ natural across the range. EWG listed. Certified cruelty-free and vegan.
