June 24th marks Global Upcycling Day, celebrating creative reuse of resources by giving materials new life. This sustainable practice extends beyond furniture and fashion into the beauty industry, where ingredients like upcycled mandarin are pioneering the emerging “Upcycled Beauty” trend.
The Green Chem Finder offers dedicated search filters for upcycled materials, helping formulators meet this growing market demand.
Google Trends data shows particularly strong interest in upcycled products across New Zealand, UK, Singapore, Australia, and Ireland
Last month we identified 58 new beauty products launches with this keyword in for example:
-Ellis Brooklyn UK, using an eco fragrance with a proportion of upcycled ingredients
-Acure Canada, using upcycled ingredients
-Payot Paris, using upcycled olive squalane
