Tropic Skincare launches moisturiser with innovative technology
Tropic Skincare has launched a new skin-balancing moisturiser, using Innerbottle technology to minimise product waste. This means the product includes a balloon made from medical-grade silicone to ensure "every last drop" is squeezed from its packaging.
The Fresh Waves moisturiser absorbs, cools and helps to protect and nourish the skin’s microbiome. The skincare features prebiotics to defend against blemish-causing bacteria, along with blue spirulina and blueberry extract to help refine pore appearance and clear skin.
In addition, Tropic Skincare is offering a more sustainable, cost-effective way to shop beauty with its Refill & Replenish scheme. For products using the Innerbottle balloon, consumers are able to return five of the balloons to receive a £10 product voucher to spend on the website.
Susie Ma, Founder and CEO of Tropic Skincare, said: "For me, it’s fundamental that we leave this world in a better place, and this incredible Innerbottle technology is a core part of our reinvention and renewal, as we progress towards our Infinite Purpose of creating a healthier, greener, more empowered world. We’re proud to be one of the first beauty brands in the world to roll out this technology on a mass scale."
