Company mission

To protect the planet and people, one product at a time.

Our take

The skincare market is anticipated to grow every year by 5.19 percent up 2026. After a surge in skincare addicts during the pandemic when wellness took a front seat in many people's priorities, the sector became even more saturated due to demand. Co-owned with Lord Alan Sugar, Tropic is a skincare brand with a very clear mission to create products that are ethical and environmentally friendly.

Certified vegan, cruelty-free and CarbonNeutral®, the company double offsets its emissions. Alongside the impact Tropic Skincare has on the planet the company also does impressive work with initiatives like working with the UWS, funding education in areas where there is a need for it. More recently the company changed all of its typefaces to be designed for dyslexic readers - a clear statement to the impressive ethos and passion within the company.

For a beauty product to sit on a high street shelf for an indefinite period it must include added preservatives, such as parabens. Tropic vows to its natural ingredients and so is not seen on shelves in stores, but despite this is still seeing impressive growth.
