R+B aims to create a future where consumers can easily attain skincare that benefits the well-being of individuals and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Circular Beauty<\/strong>?<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Fact.MR, circular beauty is known as a green business model. This beauty concept reuses and repurposes by-products that ultimately extend the life cycle of ingredients and prevent it from ending in landfills (Shambhu Nath Jha, 2022).
In line with this, R+B\u2019s debut skincare range focuses on utilising repurposed coffee grounds as its key component, along with other natural ingredients. Coffee grounds are rich in nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants, making them a valuable resource.
Proper disposal of packaging materials is vital in circular beauty products. R+B has a
return, refill, reuse, and repeat policy to reduce waste. Once the products are finished, consumers can return the empty jars and bottles using the packaging they received during their initial purchase. When the items are returned, RM20 is credited to the registered account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beauty That Gives Back<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

R+B donates 10% of every purchase made to Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) such as 4X4 Relief Malaysia and Animal Projects & Environmental Education (APE Malaysia).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cR+B is committed to creating a positive impact in the community that we exist in and has partnered with NGOs to preserve the environment and support local communities. A portion of every purchase made by customers will be donated to these organisations allowing them to contribute to a greater cause while enhancing their appearance,\u201d said Co-Founder Adrian Peh.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Co-Founder Soo Hoo Siew Kheng, \u201cThe feedback revealed that R+B ticked all the boxes. The top reasons the participants enjoy our products are that they provide beneficial results, have a pleasant texture, are made from natural ingredients<\/strong><\/em> and have a natural scent\u201d.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
