UPCIRCLE Body Lotion - Nourishing & Repairing with Bergamot Water, Natural Ingredients - 8.45oz

Arrives in a lovely box and what I'm assuming is glass bottle. It has a really nice look to it.I really like the smell of the product. The hints id citrus that come through make it smell very fresh and exhilarating. A great day time lotion scent. I don't find the scent to be overpowering and doesn't seem to linger for a super long time either.The first time I used the lotion, I used it as a full body lotion after a shower. Hours later, I noticed I still felt very soft and smooth. Since then and going forward, though, I will probably stick to using it just for my hands where I feel I can properly appreciate it lol.This brand is rated UK's #1 upcycled beauty brand. I love the upcycled concept and definitely enjoy using products that support less waste. This brand is also labeled as "Plastic Negative" which if you're like me and don't know what that means; they apparently contribute a percentage of sales towards programs that remove plastic waste from the environment in turn removing more plastic than they create giving them a "negative" plastic impact on the world. I love this!This is a good product and I love the eco-friendly practices this supports.

This review is for “UPCIRCLE Hand + Body Lotion with Bergamot Water 8.45oz - For Nourishing + Repairing - Glycerin + Jojoba - Natural, Vegan + Cruelty Free”This is a five star lotion but my bottle had issues so I took two stars off. The lotion arrived with the pump firmly in the off position. There was lotion that rose up around the pump base and had dried hard. There was lotion on the inside of the box as well and it too was dried hard like wax. I pulled the bottle out of the box and turned the pump spout to the “on” position. When I did that lotion exploded up through the base of the pump. I had to clean up lotion off the kitchen counter, microwave, backsplash, and cabinet bottom as the mini explosion went about two feet in all directions. After I cleaned up I examined the pump for any cracks or damage and found none. I cleaned it up and put it back into the bottle and tested it and it worked fine. I was a little wary of using the lotion but I did use it to test it. The lotion smells great, it feels great, and the bottle is glass so it’s easy to recycle or reuse. The batch code on mine was 20201.

First off, the bottle is glass and did have some weight. It arrived in just a poly bag with the thin paper box, which offered little protection. However, the bottle arrived fine.When I first tried it, I thought it was not light-weights as claimed. I also felt that it left the skin with a grease layer, although it was light and didn't feel oily like some moisturizers. In addition, I felt the citrus smell (lemongrass and grapefruit) was a bit strong. However, once you give the moisturizer a little time (couple minutes) it feels like it fully absorbs and provides a protective layer over your skin without the greasy feel. As a moisturizer, I think that it does a great job. As for the smell, I can tolerate it because it smells pleasant. However, I still feel it's a bit strong, and really doesn't dissipate enough after application. Therefore, for anyone that is used to non-scented products, I would suggest trying this out in store first before purchasing. Otherwise, it is a great moisturizer that works great. Also, the company seems to have a follow a great sustainability mission.

This is a really spectacular body lotion. The smell is so fresh and citrusy. The bottle is glass, and feels elegant. The item is very giftable with a fancy bottle and elegant box. The materials used in the lotion are sourced through juice waste, which is pretty cool. I always check the ingredients in my body lotion products and this list was very much naturally based. The lotion feels very soothing on the skin. This is made in the UK and is 99 perfect natural based on the box. They also state they are plastic negative which makes sense with the glass bottle. I really like this lotion and it makes me feel invigorated when I use it. This is absolutely one of the nicest lotions I’ve ever used. Do not hesitate to get this for yourself, Im so happy to find this line and will try other products they offer. Well worth the price to get such a quality list of ingredients. Love it.

I’m very picky when it comes to moisturizers, but I was completely sold on this one after the first pump. The smell is divine – it’s quite unusual, very fresh and has a citrusy zing to it. It took a little while to fully soak in but it’s highly effective and left my skin feeling very moisturized for a long time after use. I’ve found myself reaching for this hand lotion over my go-to L’Occitane one, which is, in my opinion, the biggest compliment I could give this product.In addition to being really impressed by the quality and effectiveness of this lotion, it’s a big pro for me that the product is vegan, not tested on animals and is made by a sustainable certified B corporation. I will no doubt be purchasing others products from this company.
