Hi! We are Inga and David , two long-time friends and the founders of uprise. Before the birth of uprise, none of us had much contact with the skincare industry. However, the desire for entrepreneurship and the desire to create something have always been with us.

When we came into contact with upcycling, we were immediately enthusiastic: It was fascinating to discover and learn how high-quality active ingredients can be extracted from the most diverse by-products and waste products of the food industry.

“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”

The potential seemed endless - and we quickly realized that we had struck gold. Every upcycled ingredient we use is not only an important step towards sustainability, but also has proven positive effects on the skin. We were endlessly motivated.

The reality check came relatively quickly, however. As we discovered, it is not easy - and certainly not for industry rookies like us - to design and bring to market such a new and innovative skincare range. True to the motto "If it were easy, everyone would do it", we did not let the 8,000 setbacks demotivate us and are even more proud today to be able to present the uprise skincare range to you.

We are convinced that sustainability is the key and that each of us can and must do more to protect our planet. At the same time, we also believe that real change cannot be achieved through brute force and sacrifice, but only through innovation and everyday integration. We believe that our small skin care range has a concentrated innovative power and the potential to make the world a little bit better.

We are looking forward to the journey with you, will continue to research and design new upcycling products for you!
