A bit about Scrubbee
Upcycled, Zero Waste, Affordable Skincare.
Founder Maddie Booth struggled with her skin throughout her student years and could not find natural skincare alternatives that fitted her monthly budget. To solve this, she started making her own sustainable skincare products from accessible ingredients by researching and formulating using online guides. It wasn’t until she wondered if there could be another use for her cafetière full of used coffee grounds every morning, that the idea for Scrubbee began!
Check out their first product line which repurposes leftover coffee grounds from local cafes in Birmingham, ensuring that they don’t go to landfill! https://www.scrubbee.co.uk/shop
