We’re on a mission to fortify the future
for people and planet, are you with us?
So far, we’ve spent over £2 million funding the below initiatives. Here’s how we’re moving towards our goal.
• We’re helping to fund 16 wind turbines to power 20,000 homes across Guatemala, avoiding the unnecessary use of fossil fuels.
• As part of our CarbonNeutral® project, we facilitate doctors’ visits to remote, rural regions of North Brazil
• To create a future forest, we planted 7,000 trees in the Hampshire South Downs with Forestry England
• We’re helping to prevent deforestation across 105,000 hectares of the Amazon Rainforest
• We also fund agricultural training to promote sustainable, earth-loving, and economical livelihoods.
Out of more than 275 prestigious awards and accolades – recognising everything from our product range to our brand ethics and achievements – here are a few of our top award-winning moments from the past few years.
• In partnership with the Trussell Trust, we support over 1,300 food bank centres across the UK.
• By funding food banks, we help provide emergency provisions for families in crisis, working towards the Trussell Trust’s vision of a hunger-free future
• Since 2019, your orders have funded over five million days of primary school education, through our partnership with United World Schools
• We support schools in rural regions of Nepal, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Madagascar.

Picture a whole new era of Tropic, one where we’re better than ever... in every way. What does that vision look like? I’d make a bet it involves the invention of improved, sustainable packaging; the creation of new planet-friendly formulas; and the funding of education and planetprotective initiatives across the world. Well, that dream has turned into our reality. This issue of Glow celebrates reinvention and renewal as we progress towards our Infinite Purpose, making the world healthier, greener, and more empowered every step of the way. This bold ambition underpins everything we do, and it’s never been more pressing to think big and drive change. It’s a goal we’ll never reach, but one we hope we’ll have the privilege of working towards infinitely.
As we look to the future, we need to harness hope and embody brightness. We take such delight in knowing that our beautiful products can bring a little ray of sunshine to your day, in so many ways. Perhaps a sheen of highlighter is enough to shape your morning, or the idea of funding a child’s education when you restock your bathroom cabinet makes the corners of your mouth curl up into a smile? With Tropic, your small, daily actions can contribute to larger, global good.
For me, it’s fundamental that we leave the world in a better place than it was when we started. Just as Tropic’s Ambassadors and customers have transformed our future here at HQ, we want to help transform the future of the planet. I see this as an additional return on your investment – thanks to your tremendous support, Tropic can build a better world for future generations around the globe. It wouldn’t be possible without you.
From creating luxurious organic formulations to planting forests in the UK and opening new schools in Madagascar and Nepal, we’re never going to stop getting better, being better. But to be at our best, it’s also important to recognise how far we’ve come! We’re so proud of our achievements, and I can never thank you enough for supporting Tropic at every step.
Please be patient with us (even this magazine can’t keep up with how quickly we’re evolving!) as some of the products you see in Glow might look different when they arrive at your door, while we upgrade and level up our packaging to be the best it can be, for you and for our planet. Tropic is founded on great skincare, but there’s so much more to showcase in this issue. I’m so excited to share our greener, rebranded packaging and
upgraded, organic formulations with you – they surpass anything we’ve done before, so they might just cost that little bit more. They’ve taken my skin to a whole new level of glossiness, and we’ve got the clinical data to back us up! We’ve put so much love into every single drop. And I’ll let you in on a little secret – my favourite product has to be our new Juicy Greens Exfoliating Toning Essence.
There’s so much to look forward to as you flick through the pages of Glow. With our Infinite Purpose and your support, Tropic will continue to flourish now and in the future, and I couldn’t be more pleased you’re right here with us on this exciting journey!
Founder and CEO
We’ve used accessibility consultants to create our unique ‘Susie’ script, to offer a visually appealing, dyslexia-friendly option for our readers. We also put audio versions of our magazines and guides on Spotify for the visually impaired. We’re always open to new ideas about how to make our content more accessible, so let us know if you have any!
Our Infinite Purpose influences every decision we make, from the products we launch and ingredients we use to our certifications and charity partnerships. It’s a big goal that we’re proud of, but like most brands, we started a little smaller.
Our founder, Susie Ma, drew inspiration for Tropic from two sources. The first was her grandma, a medicinal chemist and toxicologist, who taught her that our skin needs feeding with nourishing, healthy ingredients just as much as our bodies. The second was her upbringing in Cairns, tropical North Queensland, Australia, where fresh aloe vera plants and exotic fruit trees pretty much grew on her doorstep! This would later have a huge impact on the beauty products Susie created, and it’s also where we got our name from.
After moving to London as a teenager, Susie decided to start selling her favourite body scrub recipe to help her mum with the household bills. While most of us were smuggling our favourite snacks into the cinema at age fifteen, Susie was pouring her first batch of body scrubs into 50 jam jars to sell at Greenwich Market. While she was studying, Susie devoted nights and weekends to formulating recipes and making products – with her mum’s kitchen quickly turning into a makeshift beauty lab.
You may recognise Susie from her appearance on BBC’s The Apprentice back in 2011. Lord Alan Sugar was so impressed by her products that he invested to become a 50/50 partner, and Tropic moved from Susie’s mum’s kitchen to our first ever Tropic HQ.
Susie loved building personal relationships with her customers on her market stalls, so in 2013, we launched our social selling model with just 400 founding Ambassadors. To put into perspective how much we’ve grown since then, we now celebrate a whopping 20,000+ Ambassadors.
Tropic has come a long way since Susie started out. As well as being recognised as one of The Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic Fast Track, as one of the UK’s fastest-growing skincare brands, we’re also introducing upgraded, COSMOScertified organic versions of some of your skincare favourites.
As part of our ongoing promise to create a greener world, our Return, Recycle, Reward Scheme is a way of thanking you for thinking of the planet too. We’ve been working away on making our packaging as planet-protective as possible, though we aren’t quite perfect yet. We’ve chosen INNERBOTTLE™ silicone balloons because they’re durable and inert, meaning they can be used again and again by us, while keeping your formulas fresh. So, let’s save resources by re-using our nifty balloons, while saving the planet by ensuring they never take a trip to the tip.
Look out for this little balloon logo to find out which products are part of our INNERBOTTLE™ initiative.
Simply scan the QR code to the left to find out about the latest incentives to send back your empty balloons – we really are grateful for you helping us to tread lightly on the planet, together.

Tropic aims to be a force for good beyond beauty, keeping our Infinite Purpose at the beating heart of our business. It not only defines our brand DNA, but guides each and every decision and product launch. Here are just a few ways we implement our Infinite Purpose at Tropic HQ and beyond.
Each formulation is created in Tropic’s Innovation Lab at HQ, harnessing the best in green skincare science. For freshness, products are made on site. With thousands of orders placed every day, it’s important that our beauty is green. All the energy at our HQ, where we manufacture 98% of the products we sell, is from 100% renewable sources. We do this so that our customers – that's you – can be proud of supporting every single component of what we do.
Our HQ is home to more than 200 plants, which are watered from a supply of rain runoff. In fact, all of the numerous water-saving initiatives that we’ve implemented at HQ save over half a million litres of water a year collectively. And when it comes to waste, from our latest audit, we recycled over 293 tonnes, which equated to 57% of all our waste. Anything that we can’t recycle is repurposed into an alternative fuel (that replaces fossil fuels) to power homes and businesses.
We want to conserve our oceans and marine life, which is why our entire SPF sun care range is Protect Land + Sea certified, making it completely reef-safe. As well as this, 10% of the profits from our serum, Ocean Dive (p26), are donated to the Reef Restoration Foundation in Cairns, Australia.
Since becoming CarbonNeutral® certified, we've delivered over £2 million worth of value to households, infrastructure, and biodiversity by double offsetting our carbon emissions.
Through this initiative, we’ve funded conservation work in the Amazon Rainforest and helped to support 16 wind turbines to power 20,000 homes in Guatemala.
We’ve been ethically accredited for four years and are independently endorsed by The Good Shopping Guide, with a score of 100/100 which covers a wide range of criteria. This includes animal welfare, human rights, and the environment.
At Tropic, we pride ourselves on our refill offerings, with refill options for an array of skincare and makeup products. We also have a Return, Recycle, Reward Scheme for the silicone balloons inside our moisturisers, helping our customers live lower-impact lifestyles, while treating them, too. Our game-changing Colour Palette is also completely refillable, minimising waste from your beauty routine. Its innovative design has prevented over 18 tonnes of plastic waste being generated, compared to our previous makeup collection.
In February 2022, we officially opened our forest at Queen Elizabeth Country Park with Forestry England. Over 7,000 native and climate-changeresistant trees have been planted, helping to replace over 20 hectares felled in 2019 due to ash dieback. Forests are vital for the future of our planet. By planting more trees and giving our
native wildlife a helping hand, we can make a tangible difference to the ongoing climate crisis.
By growing new trees, protecting rare heathlands, and caring for our streams and freshwater sources, we can create more habitats in which wildlife will thrive. As a bonus, they also provide more green spaces to visit!
These trees will be enjoyed by wildlife and people for generations to come.

Self-care is for life, not just for lockdown! I sit down with Susie to find out how to slow down time and create mini moments of calm in our hectic lives.
For many of us, lockdown life chugged along at a snail’s pace. There’s no doubt that our day-today lives – for those of us at home – shrunk to a different size. A more mouldable shape. With my own morning commute reduced to stumbling out of bed to my desk, I found enough time to get a deeply restful lie in, cook a stack of banana pancakes, spend an hour in downward dog, and even have a bubble bath before signing into work (just me?!)
We became the masters of our days, controlling who we talked to, what we ate, and when we went to bed – setting boundaries and listening to our bodies (sensitive to even the slightest tickle in our throats) in a way that most of us have never experienced before. And when we were finally able to hug our loved ones again, those moments felt unbelievably precious –every sensorial experience playing in slow motion,
heightened by such a long self-isolation. I suspect that I wasn’t alone in becoming a slow-living, self-care obsessive. Google searches for ‘self-care routine’ skyrocketed by 250% during the pandemic, while orders on mindful colouring books, facial massagers, and vitamin C supplements soared (Google, 2020). It seems we all picked up a new healthy habit or two. But with restrictions now lifted and the doors to the outside world flung wide open, life has surreptitiously slipped back to its fast-paced, chaotic self.
There’s nobody busier than Tropic founder and CEO, Susie Ma, with a dazzling diary packed with meetings, new product launches, and global business obligations. But whenever I see Susie at HQ, I’m struck by how present she is. She exudes effortlessness, always giving others her full attention, with a bright-eyed smile and an abundance of energy that can only come from
proper self-care and ‘battery-charging.’ She even made time for my questions, as I sat with notepad in hand, ready to learn how our founder creates little moments of calm in her busy world of adventure, innovation, and a flourishing beauty business.
“I haven’t got it all figured out yet,” she admits. “My life has always been one hundred miles an hour, rushing from one place to the next. But one thing I picked up during lockdown was the importance of slowing down and looking after yourself. Suddenly, I didn’t need to get up so early in the morning, which meant I was blessed with more time. I did yoga. I made myself matcha lattés. I really indulged in my facial routine. Those were like little moments of joy.”
“I generally looked after myself better too, cooking homemade meals rather than going to restaurants and choosing fresh, organic fruits and vegetables. I slept eight hours a night. And I also got loads of fresh air, exploring amazing rolling hills that I never discovered until lockdown.”
“I noticed that I felt so much healthier. My hair was amazing. My skin was moisturised. The whites of my eyes were whiter… everything about me just looked and felt healthier. It just goes to show what happens when you really look after your body.”
Going back to the rapid pace of ‘normal’ life, filled with obligations and external stimuli, Susie admits that it’s not easy to stay on top of these lockdown habits. Her life hack? Becoming ‘self-care smart.’ “Now while I’m brushing my teeth, I put on a face mask. While I’m waiting for the microwave to ping, I do some little push ups or tricep dips in my kitchen. While I’m driving, I do tension-releasing facial muscle exercises – face yoga if you will!
“I also saved so much time in lockdown not doing my full makeup. These days, my refillable Colour Palette is a lifesaver for a five-minute makeup routine, as everything is in one place.” This frees up space in Susie’s morning for a lymphatic facial massage. For just a few moments, the bathroom sink transforms into a sanctuary of mindfulness, as Susie closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and focuses on nothing else but the warm water on her skin and the creamy texture of Smoothing Cleanser on her fingertips, massaging in stimulating, upwards motions.
No matter how brief, these meditative moments of ‘me time’ are shown to prevent feelings of overwhelm and anxiety – and are proof that even in a jam-packed schedule, self-care can be peppered throughout the
day (Mind UK). In fact, studies show that a three-step skincare routine morning and night can lower the amount of cortisol (the stress hormone) in our bodies by up to 83% (PSYCHREG). Carving out a quick five minutes for a self-massage or squeezing some face yoga into your daily commute can relieve adrenaline, expand personal creativity, decrease feelings of restlessness and irritation, and create a calm sense of control you can carry into work, school or family life.
So, self-care isn’t just for Sundays. But Susie also stops the clock every weekend, dedicating 60 minutes to take a deeper breath and recharge her batteries for the busy days ahead. “I call it my self-care hour!” She whips up a big batch of healthy juices, packed with as many superfoods and antioxidants as she can fit in the blender (spirulina and açai berries are top favourites) to create quick hits of goodness she can sip on throughout the week. Then, multi-tasking by lathering her hair in a restorative mask and releasing any tension with her Scalp Massager, she runs a hot bath and unwinds in some So Sleepy bubbles.
“Sleep is the biggest thing for me,” says Susie. “Every night before I go to bed, I listen to piano music, which is very soothing.” And her home truly sounds like a sanctuary – a place that will always slow down time, feed her sense of wonder, and ignite the love of nature that she explored in lockdown. “I have the stars projected onto my bedroom ceiling, so I can stargaze the Milky Way before I go to sleep!” There’s even a beach mural on her living room walls for an everlasting, calming backdrop.
It comes as no surprise that for such a tropical aficionado, Susie’s ideal moment of calm is on the beach. She dreams of “sitting with [her] feet in the sand, looking out at the ocean, hearing the waves crash onto the shore.” It comes as no surprise when she says that some of her best ideas have popped into her brain during moments like this. Whether that’s during a yoga session on the beach, or simply out for a walk in the fresh, English air.
It’s a reminder that only good things arise when we take time for ourselves. Whether that looks like getting some perspective in nature during your lunch break, closing your eyes and massaging in your cleanser in the morning, or looking at a beautiful painting or view before you go to bed at night – mini self-care is a magic trick that can slow down time... in just a few minutes flat.
“Sleep is the biggest thing for me. Every night before I go to bed, I listen to piano music. I have the stars projected onto my bedroom ceiling, so I can stargaze the Milky Way before I sleep! ”
From products to people, the future isn’t one-dimensional. It’s multifaceted, multifarious, and always changing shape. At Tropic, we believe the future is mouldable. We’re declaring our Infinite Purpose: to build a healthier, greener, more empowered world – a future brimming with possibilities, where you really can have it all... and then some.
We like to think this Infinite Purpose keeps our feet on the ground and our eyes wide open. It means we’re constantly looking forwards – adapting and innovating – but also looking behind us, re-evaluating and reflecting on what we could do
better in everything we do. The goal is always to get one step closer to a brighter, better future.
And there’s no time like the present. At Tropic, we consider ourselves leaders. To stay on track for our healthier, greener, more empowered world, we need to lead the way in finding new solutions to the challenges facing our planet. So, after five years as one of the fastestgrowing skincare brands in the UK, we decided there’s never been a better time to take a breath and reassess every layer of Tropic, from the ground up.
To help us grow, we listened to the cry of the planet, and we listened to you, our loyal customers. We delved into
environmental reports and customer reviews. We listened to climate experts, skincare scientists, and our instincts. We re-examined our supply chains and tested new products on Tropic lovers and Ambassadors who’ve supported us since the very beginning. And all the while, we chanted ‘progress, not perfection.’ Because to us, sustainable beauty is an infinite journey, where things can always be improved. But as long as we’re striving towards our trusty Infinite Purpose, we’re confident we’re on a good, green path.
So, are you ready to see what we’ve come up with? Without further ado, we introduce our guiding tenets…
When it comes to our diet, we know fresh, organic food can often be the healthiest option, so shouldn’t we adopt the same approach to feeding our skin? It’s our largest organ, after all. So, we’re introducing a rainbow of certified organic ingredients to our core range.
Nutrient-dense, sun-soaked soil has powered our products since day one. We know that by going organic, we can maximise nature’s goodness even further – in the same way an organic orange is richer in colour, or your home-grown greens are far more, well, green, these formulations will be perfectly pigmented. They’re also packed with organic plant goodness, which can be 20-40% richer in antioxidants, according to the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Their textures and scents feel more sensory and luxurious, but these new formulations are – most importantly – more effective. We’ve opted for ingredients smaller in molecular weight, meaning they carry the product deeper into the skin. This essentially means more ‘glow’ per gram, which you’ll see evidenced in our clinical data! And it’s no coincidence that what’s great for your skin is great for the planet too. Organic soil is one of Earth’s most valuable tools when it comes to fighting climate change. Organic fields sequester more carbon and tend to have lower emissions, according to our certifier, the COSMOS Organic Soil Association. To receive this gold-standard certification, every part of our supply chain must be audited yearly! They’re checking everything – that the Tropical farms where our ingredients are grown are pesticide-free, all the way through to seeing that our
factory is safe from harmful synthetic chemicals. So, look out for our hard-earned ‘certifed organic’ labels as you flick through the following pages. Though some ingredients (like encapsulated vitamin C) can’t *technically* be certified – they’re nature-identical, thus not organically grown – we’ve verified every product we can, ensuring any ingredient in our core skincare range that can be grown organically, is. And when it comes to visible results, we really put our money where our mouth is. We always knew our plant-powered products were effective, but now we’ve commissioned clinical data from independent labs to prove it. For example, did you know the upgraded formula of our Comfort Food (previously Deep Hydration) mask improves skin hydration by 174% in just two hours? We’ve upcycled our knowledge and empowered our Ambassadors with these stats – so they’re even more ready to deliver results-driven skincare, right to your door.
Organic farmers don’t use artificial pesticides. They work with nature to protect soil, human,
look out for this label!
Every single Tropic product has a purpose. As well as being tailor-made and targeted to your unique skin type, tone, or concern, each bottle is a force for good beyond beauty. Next time you watch Eye Work illuminate dark circles, or marvel as Pure Lagoon clears up a blemish-prone T-zone, close your eyes and picture how your skincare is having an equally positive effect around the globe.
For a start, every order funds education, bringing brighter futures to children in remote regions of Nepal, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Madagascar. So far, your Tropic beauty routine has funded a whopping five million school days,
keeping young girls out of child marriage, creating equal opportunities, and opening up exciting possibilities.
But the best bit about our purpose being ‘infinite’ means we don’t stop at just one goal. Moving into the future, we’ll continue to set our sights as high as possible. From planting new forests across the globe to supporting UK food banks through the Trussell Trust, going the extra mile to double offset carbon emissions, and propelling British industry from our Surrey-based HQ. Each and every part of our business is guided by a never-ending mission to spread positivity far and wide.
Post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic is ‘preloved’ plastic that’s been given a second, or just new, lease of life.
To package our luxurious organic goodness, we thought it was only right to level-up our plastic policies. Lids, bottles, and containers have been made from PCR plastic wherever possible, and we’ve introduced more glass bottles, so you can recycle more easily at home.
100% of my lid and pump is made from recycled plastic. Keep this element and attach it to your refill bottle to use it again.
When you’ve pumped out every last drop, send the balloon back to Tropic HQ for recycling.
My INNERBOTTLE™ balloon is made from medical grade silicone and is free from BPA. The airless technology provides ultimate freshness and ensures minimal product waste.
Some of our core range packaging also features a futuristic INNERBOTTLE™ concept – ensuring every last drop of goodness can be squeezed out and refilled. We’re proud to be one of the first beauty brands in the world to roll out this technology on a mass scale! And to carry us further into the future, we’ve invested our profits in brandspanking-new eco machinery, to help us refill on site at HQ. Our goal is to halve our use of virgin plastic by the end of 2022. We’ll gradually be introducing more PCR plastic containers and alternatives throughout our entire range. But it’s important to note that we’re not scrapping old packaging that’s still in circulation! We don’t believe in unnecessary waste and we’ve done our best to make this evolution slow and mindful. We’ll update and upcycle in the most planet-protective way possible. That’s why your old reliable Body Love might arrive in original packaging one week, but dressed up in a very snazzy, re-branded and refreshed tube the next. We hope you’ll be patient with us! It’ll be worth it...
100% of our core skincare range (available in our Complete Collection) is recyclable, returnable or refillable, and we’re only just getting started. Here’s to the future!

Nourishing products to help you get your groom on!
Although our skincare products can be used by everyone, we’ve created a range of products that are specifically tailored to male skin.
Did you know there are differences between male and female skin? Here are some facts that might surprise you:
• Male skin ages at a different rate and tends to be thicker, more oily, and less prone to dryness.
• Males have more active sebaceous glands, and therefore more pores than females. Both the glands and pores also tend to be larger on men than women.
• Due to regular shaving, male skin can be more stressed than female skin.

• Lathering better than soap, this concentrated body wash will have you singing in the shower.
Best paired with our exfoliating Pebble Pouch – see page 45 for details.
DID YOU KNOW? Not to be mistaken for soap, this bar is actually a concentrated body wash so there’s no lye in it – one of the ingredients that’s traditionally used to make the lather but also disrupts the skin’s pH, causing it to become dry and irritated. Instead we use coconut cleansers that are rich, creamy and suitable for all skin types.
Investing in your skin’s health is vital if you want to stay looking and feeling as young, strong, and healthy as you can.
Here’s a step-by-step plan to help you get the most out of your products, so you can experience your best skin yet.
STEP 1: Steam your face with a warm Bamboo Face Cloth to loosen clogged pores.
STEP 2: Cleanse for a minute or so morning and/or night with Clear Slate to remove dirt and excess sebum from skin, before splashing your face with cold water.
STEP 3: Shave or soften facial hair using Look Sharp.
STEP 4: Moisturise using Look Good morning and night to hydrate and nourish your complexion.
STEP 5: Apply SPF in the morning. See page 71 for facial sun protection products.

“I love the flat detailing brush. It has lovely soft bristles that don’t flake. The small end is great for using with concealer, and I use the big end for blending eye shadow.”
ROMANA, TROPIC CUSTOMERFrom where we’re sitting, the future’s looking bright! We asked an array of renowned makeup artists about the face fashions that are bouncing back, as well as the emerging trends that are just a glint in our eyes...
MUA: THEMBI MKANDLA “Smoky eyes are all about intensity – but I’m not talking ‘indiscriminate noughties black kohl eye liner’ intensity. We want impact that’s head-turning, but also soft around the edges. For this, you need a base before you put your shadow on, so use the Silk Gel Liner in black. It’s so long wearing, amplifies the pigment and gives the powder something to stick to.”
MUA: EM-J WILLIAMS “Pucker up, because perfect pouts are here to stay! For luscious lips, it's best to use a tiny amount of product at a time. Apply one or two dots of Lip Stain to the centre of the lips and gently diffuse it around using your fingers or your Lip Brush. Repeat as desired, depending on the intensity of colour you’re after.”
MUA: KENNETH SOH “Warm tones will always be in, right? Start with the Silk Gel Liner to draw out your desired shape. Then, after blending out with rusty hues, add a pop of olive with your shimmery shadow, to dress up an otherwise day-to-day look!”
MUA: CAROL LOPEZ REID “The 90’s called; they want their lip pencil back! For ultimate definition, use your Line Up Lip Pencil to trace the lip line right to the edge, before creating lines going in towards the entrance of the mouth. Use your Lip Brush to create an ombré look by buffing those lines out, then apply a good coating of Lip Glaze to softly tie the look together.”
MUA: SOPHIE VIJAY “For me, the best base makeup will always be hydrated skin. If the skin is dry, the base will just build up and cake on. Beauty sponges are such an amazing tool for blending cream products and even powders. After powder, I always go in with a damp Beauty Drop Sponge to put some moisture back into the skin.”
MUA: DANI GUINSBERG “For a strong, fluffy look, start at the inside of the brow and apply Brow Boss with the angled end of your 3in1 Eye Brush using short, sharp, upward strokes. Follow the natural hair growth and sweep small strokes up to the arch, then down to the final point. To fluff them up, use the spoolie to brush the brow through and distribute the colour across the whole brow.”
MUA: ANDRADA RUSU “I’m not going to claim that this is something I made up, that it hasn’t been going down on catwalks and at shoots from the outset, but there’s a reason we’ve all got such a crush on blush! Draw your brush into the hairline and dab the areas of your face that naturally collect sunlight. This will create a subtle, sunkissed glow that fabulously frames the face.”
MUA: CHRISTINA OULOUPI
“The easiest way to nail the dreaded flick is to split it into sections. Start in the middle and sketch to the outer corner. Then, join your inner corner to this central line and leave the flick until last. The flick’s the hardest part, but don’t close your eyes. Try and look ahead straight in the mirror without pulling your skin back too much. I normally sketch a top line from the bottom of the eye towards the eyebrow first, then map out a bottom line and join in a triangle.”
How can you trust that your skincare really works? This beauty journalist uncovers the bare-faced facts. Put your lab coat on, we’re getting scientific!
How do you measure ‘glow’?
Let’s shine a light on Tropic’s science-led, evidence-based approach to clinically effective skincare...
Imagine you’re on the hunt for a new moisturiser. What’s important to you? Natural ingredients? An efficacious formula? Sustainable, planetfriendly packaging? Well, if you’re a fan of Tropic, we’re guessing all three. But while these things might be at the top of your wish list, how can you actually ensure that what you’re buying ticks all the boxes?
In a world of marketing spin and spiel, navigating the skincare aisles has never been so difficult. Beauty jargon and bogus claims are everywhere, with new A-list botanicals and compounds popping up every five seconds, promising to give us glass skin and turn back time.
“There’s just so much noise in skincare at the moment,” says Susie, founder and CEO of Tropic. “Sometimes it seems that brands add plant actives to their formulas to respond to trends. But often, their products are created by cookie cutter manufacturers, and lack proper research or scientific backing.”
Amidst all the clean beauty gloss and vegan glamour, the proof is in the percentages. At Tropic, it all comes down to real skin, qualified dermatologists, trusty technology, and weeks of rigorous clinical testing.
Clinical trials and scientific backing are second to none when it comes to knowing what’s really going to get you glowing. So, what is clinical testing?
First, Tropic’s in-house chemists and biochemists spend months testing, trialling, and adapting formulas, until they’re ready for the big assessments. Then, they send their ‘pride and joys’ away to ISO-certified, independent labs (which adhere to an international standard of testing and data validation practices) where they’re met by qualified dermatologists, who vigorously
test their performance on real skin, under clinical conditions.
“We only arrange independent clinical testing once we’re confident in our formulas,” says Susie. “Tropic is at the forefront of beauty technology. We’ve invested in state-of-the-art machinery that measures every aspect of the skin, from redness to elasticity to pigmentation. This is how we conduct internal studies on our formulas to ensure they really do have an impact,” she explains.
So, before they even get examined, Tropic’s products have already jumped through a lot of hoops. But these clinical tests are no piece of cake. The assessments begin when four to five dermatologists assess a group of random volunteers (usually around 20-25 people, but sometimes up to 80) and screen their skin, ensuring everyone has skin in need of a specific type of nourishment.
The first round is the allergy patch test, and if the product gets through this stage, it passes to round two. Then it’s on your marks, get set, test! The volunteers use Tropic’s formulas every day, while dermatologists assess changes in their skin. This isn’t done ‘by eye’ or guesswork. “The lab scientists use various scientific instruments to measure the impact the product has on skin,” confirms Tropic’s biochemist, Kavitha Murugesan.
There are Sebometers to measure changes in skin’s sebum production, Skin Hydration Meters, and the mother of all testers: VisioFace Skin Imaging Analysis – a 360 machine that can measure skin texture, wrinkle depth, brightness, UV damage, and take 3D pictures of your skin.
Once the ‘before and after’ difference in all of the testers’ skin has been analysed, the data is totted up by the lab’s clinical statistician. “An average percentage of improvement is calculated and handed to us on results day,” says Kavitha. If the results are anything less than jaw-dropping, Tropic sends the formulas back to the lab at Tropic HQ for improvement.
As Kavitha says, “We keep going until the product is the most effective it can possibly be.”
It’s empowering to feel full confidence in your skincare, and Tropic’s plant-powered products prove time and again that they deserve their exalted status, awards, and a place on your bathroom shelf. With advanced tech, clinical trials, and a pioneering attitude, it’s exciting to think about what’s next for their formulations. Rest assured – the future of Tropic is as bright as your beautiful, glowing skin.

‘CLINICAL TESTING’?Cast your mind back to the primary school version of yourself, enjoying each day where you’d learn new things, see your friends, and have exciting experiences.
For example, you’d wait nervously to find out which part you’d take on in the annual school play, usually disappointed by the outcome. But despite your suspicions, these awkward performances weren’t part of a scheme to embarrass you – they represented so much more. They gave you the license to be something entirely different (yes, even a tree!) and imagine a life that’s far from the one you already knew.
School equips us with the space and knowledge we need to try something new, push boundaries and fulfil our dreams. But for almost 60 million children around the world, getting a basic primary education is a dream in itself (Our World in Data, 2021).
That’s why in 2019, Tropic joined forces with United World Schools (UWS) to give thousands of children in the world’s most remote communities the freedom to learn, realise their full potential, and carve out a better future. Every Tropic purchase helps to maintain, resource, run, and even build schools in Nepal, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Madagascar. It’s skincare that really cares.
With your support, Tropic’s on a mission to build a future where children from around the world can achieve their potential.
Our fight for universal education hasn’t been without obstacles. In 2020, Covid-19 plummeted more families into crippling poverty, forcing children to stay at home.
(19,000 of whom were not attending a UWS school). Nabina, a teaching fellow at UWS Khamere School in Nepal, describes how students felt about lessons on the airwaves:
so that I can treat people and provide medicine to people in need,” Chimini explains.
The UN estimated that 24 million children worldwide (especially girls) might never return to school – a risk that brought some worrying statistics into sharp focus. For instance, children in Nepal are 78% more likely to be involved in child labour if they don’t attend school (International Labour Organization, 2018). And over 25% of Nepalese girls will get married before their fifteenth birthday if they don’t receive an education – a figure that falls to just 2% if they reach university (UNICEF, 2017).
Acutely aware of the lifechanging power of education, we had to find a way to keep children learning.
“The children were very excited to hear their teacher’s voice and name on the radio stations, but they missed going to school. I started doing home visits for the most vulnerable families; to see the children, talk to their parents, identify their problems, and work out how we could bring them back to school.
I feel that when children miss out on school, they miss out on their childhood. They have lots of responsibilities at home, so it’s hard for them to be creative or think of a brighter future.”
Thanks to the tireless work of Nabina and her colleagues, 92% of UWS students returned to their Nepalese schools at the start of the new academic year.
In Nepal, fewer than 50% of households have access to the internet (UWS, 2021). So, when schools were forced to shut, attending classes via video call was simply out of the question.
Determined to hurdle the digital divide, they turned to radio. 85% of families in Nepal have a radio, so teachers started a daily programme, broadcasting lessons across ten local FM stations. The programmes attracted 23,000 listeners
What’s the most important lesson taught at UWS schools? Dare to dream. So, what does the future hold for some of the children in Nepal now?
“My dream for the future is to visit many places, like Kathmandu, India, and the whole world!” Heena tells us.
“I want to help my younger sister get a good education and become a good person. My plan for the future is to become a teacher so I can develop this village and teach small children,” says Soneeya.
“I want to become a nurse,
2021 was another tricky period for businesses. But in a year when many companies had to slash their charitable giving, Tropic donated more than ever before. As a result, we’ll be opening the first ever UWS school in Madagascar in 2022.
In Madagascar, a staggering 75% of the population live below the poverty line and just 40% of children finish primary education. But in the most isolated communities, like the fishing village of Ampandrivotse, these statistics are much worse. Located in southwest Madagascar, the new school will empower hundreds of disadvantaged children to break free from the poverty cycle.
“Tropic has gone above and beyond in their support for United World Schools. Tropic Ambassadors continued to fundraise and spread awareness about the need for education in rural and marginalised communities. Tropic has now funded over five million days of education and our partnership is stronger than ever,” says Tim Howarth, founder and ex-CEO of United World Schools.
In the words of Nelson Mandela, “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. So, thank you for arming these children with the freedom to craft their own futures.
Bijay sketched a picture of themself as a painter Prasant drew a picture of themself as the driver of a magical school bus Gyan sketched a scene of themself as a musician COVID-19: THE THIEF OF FUTURES?We asked the professionals (and consulted a few philosophers) about whether it’s possible to learn to look at the life we have ahead in a new light, to appreciate the present without pondering potential failures, and to approach change as a new challenge, rather than a chokehold. The answer? Well, it turns out these experts don’t deal in absolutes…
“I don’t know.” It’s frightening to say. We humans are programmed to find patterns and philosophise predictions about everything. From physics to football and even the afterlife, we seem to have an innate need to just know. We seek out spoilers for suspenseful TV shows, fearing the fate of our favourite characters. We hedge bets about big sports matches and use ‘serendipity’ and ‘everything for a reason’ to explain away the curious phenomenon of coincidental events. So how, in an epoch seemingly more uncertain than ever before, are us mere mortals meant to cope with the cataclysmic uncertainty of the climate crisis, Covid-19, or even the more mundane and everyday unknowns that are surfacing all around us? Well, in short, we’re finding it hard. According to the NHS, November 2021 saw a record number of people requesting access to their Talking Therapy Programme, up 5% from the previous year. ‘How to maintain mental health’ was searched on Google more than ever before, and a large international study from 2021 found that 45% of teens and young adults say that ‘eco-anxiety’ – a form of stress about the sustainability of life on earth as we know it – affects their daily lives.
So, how did we become so future-phobic? And how can we arm ourselves with the necessary weapons to fight the fear of what’s about to come? I’ve spoken to an
assortment of psychotherapists about the best ways to beat the blues that stem from uncertainty. It turns out I had a lesson or two to learn myself…
“Whether it concerns a global pandemic, a relationship breakdown (romantic or otherwise), a death, debt, redundancy or even your health, much of what lies ahead in life remains uncertain,” explains Liz Ritchie, psychotherapist for mental health charity St Andrew’s Healthcare.
“It’s completely natural that, as humans, we crave security. We have a primal need to feel safe and have a sense of control over our lives and wellbeing. ‘Anticipatory anxiety’ can drain us emotionally and trap us in a downward spiral of endless catastrophising, until we end up desperately concerned with the ‘what-ifs’, permanently pondering the worst-casescenarios of what tomorrow may bring.”
Liz warns that, “Even worry itself can give us a misguided sense of control. We often feel that by agonising over a problem, we’ll find a solution and determine the outcome ourselves. Sadly, this just isn’t true. The only sure thing that worrying will do is deprive you of living in and enjoying the present moment.”
The past few years are evidence enough that, even with the best preparation, we can’t control the universe. Job security is always subject to change in industry and organisational upheaval; relationships evolve and fizzle as people grow and heal. By living in the moment, we’re learning to deal with life as it actually is, and there’s no point exerting our energy or time concerning ourselves with potential problems that might never arise: “Save your brain and body strength for the here and now,” says Liz. “You’ll realise you have more to give this way.”
“The past few years are evidence that, even with the best preparation, we can’t control the universe.”
As the external world around us shifts and the people that surround us grow, evolve, and pass on, the only thing you can be truly sure of is yourself and your own behaviours. Holding out for a ‘big break’ or ‘soul mate’ might feel like you’re fortifying your future, but the only sense of absolute certainty we experience in our lives is borne of ourselves – our own actions and reactions are the only things we can truly predict. Be emboldened by this thought. You are your everyday constant and your own certainty – that’s pretty empowering!
In our interview, leading psychologist and psychotherapist Dr Alison McClymont told me, “It can be really important to compartmentalise life and realise that if we’re having issues in one sphere, it needn’t bleed into another. When a romantic relationship starts showing cracks, for example, it tends to cloud our judgement of the future, derailing the ‘secure’ and ‘definite’ impression that we had of what our life would always be like.
“Realising that nothing is ever absolute and that the ups and downs of work, relationships or finances only make up one facet of our future existence can really help us to stabilise our emotions when facing adversity,” explains Dr McClymont. “Tell yourself ‘I’m having a tough time in X area of life, but Y and Z are fairly solid’ –this simple affirmation can remind us that we’re not fully at the mercy of our environment; we’re our own entity with agency and can manage the changes we face however we choose to.”
It may seem like one of those ‘you’ve either got it or you don’t’ situations, but studies have shown that resilience is something we
can actively develop, even in later life. Look back at what you’ve been through – from your first day of school to navigating tricky situations at work, tearful breakups and even those days when spilling a cup of tea is enough to make you curl into a ball – a resilient mentality is developed through exposure. You’ve got through your hardest days, and as the famously wise Marcus Aurelius claimed, you should “never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.”
“We can familiarise ourselves with the will of nature by calling to mind our common experiences,” explains Epicurus in How To Be A Stoic. “When a friend breaks a
glass, we are quick to say, ‘Oh, bad luck.’ It is only reasonable, then, that when a glass of your own breaks, you accept it in the same patient spirit.”
Feel yourself spiralling after a scrolling session? Wary of what tomorrow may bring after chatting to a worrywart friend? Caught up on news cycles about what we’re doing to the planet, and the potential world we’re leaving behind? Learning to locate the trigger switch marks the first lesson in your progression. For
me, comparing myself to my friends (all unfalteringly fabulous and outrageously over-achieving) or family (where I have student debt, they have savings accounts) means setting myself up for failure when it comes to cultivating a ‘what will be, will be’ attitude.
There are cheesy Pinterest posts that tell us, “Don’t compare your life to others. There’s no comparison between the sun and the moon. They shine when it’s their time.” But isn’t there some truth in this? Feelings of inadequacy and stress about progress are inevitable if we continue to compete and cultivate a culture of constant comparison.
So, if you feel negative thought patterns playing out in your mind’s peripheral, be sure to sit back and take note of your potential triggers – sign off the socials, set down your phone, and sit out of that conversation with a pessimistic friend. Remember that comparing yourself to anyone else doesn’t make any sense. Pick it all up again after writing a list of reasons to be excited about your future (yours specifically, not the future in general) and righting your mindset so you’re prepared, once again, for what’s ahead.
By its very nature, there’s nothing comfortable about change. It can be jarring, unnerving, and ultimately a little daunting, but psychotherpist Liz Ritchie challenges us to think about all the big changes that we’ve anxiously anticipated in our lives over the years and to take a moment to focus on how many times these big shifts have ended up garnering good outcomes, rather than bad.
Telling you to adopt an optimistic outlook may seem like the oldest trick in the self-help book, but re-focusing on the positive upshots of uncertainty in our futures can equip us to face change more effectively. When I asked Tropic founder and CEO, Susie Ma, to tell me about a big change she’d experienced recently that had scared her, I could tell she had
a good answer. “Most people are terrified of change, aren’t they?” she asks. “It’s probably a well-worn trope in your piece already, but I can’t talk about trying to navigate a new way of working without mentioning the pandemic. When we were sent home with our work gear and advised to adapt to a life behind our laptops, I have to admit I was worried we wouldn’t be equipped to evolve fast enough.”
“The business had been through a lot, but nothing compared to this level of upheaval,” she explains. “But, like any change I’d ever feared before, it bolstered the business and changed how we operate for the better, with communication across the company becoming more effective than ever before! We moved from email and meetings at HQ to instant messaging and video calling from wherever we were in the world at any time. I guess the takeaway is that more often than not, there are positives that arise from being forced to adapt, otherwise we become stagnant.”
Dr. Viktor E. Frankl, an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, author and Holocaust survivor, wrote: “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” You may not have the ability to control change, but you do have the ability to control how that change affects you – you are the only one with this control, so make sure you use your power wisely. “If you’re told big changes are taking place at work which may disturb your day-to-day,” says Dr McClymont, “try to think, ‘will it serve me to spend time dwelling on what this might mean? Will I gain more from thinking about the present moment, preparing for the future but leaving the stress to someone else?”
Future-shaping changes can be shouldered more confidently when approached with an open mind, when we practice resilience, and learn to swerve situations which only serve to trigger us. If a big shift is casting shadow over your future, channel Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations once more, and “be like the rock that the waves keep crashing over. It stands unmoved and the raging of the sea falls still around it.”
Top-line teachings from our selection of psychotherapists
Resilience is something you can actively develop, even in later life, through exposure to tricky times.
Save your brain and body strength for the here and now, and you’ll have more to give. Worrying gives a misguided sense of control, when it actually deprives you of the joy of the present moment.
Realise that nothing is ever absolute and that the ups and downs of work, relationships or finances only make up one facet of our future existence.
If change is jarring you, think about all the big changes you’ve anxiously anticipated over the years that ended up garnering good outcomes, rather than bad.
Make a note of what triggers your negative thought patterns, and avoid these situations where possible.
We’re back and better than ever, so with Pampers starting to pop up on the social calendar, we’re keen to hear from our front liners about how it feels to be an Ambassador, and what their futures look like with Tropic.
In the front seat of her estate car in the suburbs of North Wales, February 2022, a woman checks her makeup in her rear-view mirror. Feeling flushed and warm with nerves (but, she’s relieved to see, not looking it) Lynda Szekely takes a deep breath as she steps out of her car to the sound of muffled laughter. Two years of virtual connections and wifi wobbles have robbed her of this ritual, but as soon as she opens the door to a full house of smiles and excitement, she slips straight back into her exuberant self. “Let’s Pamper!”
As I sat down for my interviews with this vibrant, infectiously friendly and welcoming group, I asked them to set the scene for me, to invite me into moments in their day that make them proud to be a Tropic Ambassador. I wanted
to understand how it feels to run a Pamper, to provide solutions to skin queries out in the field, first-hand. What I found was that the most rewarding, soul-nourishing experiences were spent with or talking to their community of other Ambassadors
– the constant thread, woven through the fabric of all of these stories, is that it’s each other that makes the experience so special.
In Essex, Claire’s excitedly fidgeting from foot to foot as she watches the responses roll in for her first fully-booked, faceto-face Pamper. “If you could bottle that feeling,” she ponders. “A concoction of effervescent excitement with a healthy dose of anticipation mixed in. I’d hand it out to anyone interested in being an Ambassador and – like the
“I always wanted to get some skincare products involved in my sports therapy business, and I have a little outbuilding in my garden for treatments, so when I met one of my local Ambassadors and tried some products she had with her, I knew it was a sign.”
PHIL SIMMONS, AMBASSADORLauren White, Ambassador
products – they’d squeeze out and soak up as much as they could in one go, eager-eyed and smiles wide. The buzz that unboxing the products at a Pamper creates is intoxicating! I love the level of convenience that online sales bring, but nothing beats the rush of really connecting in someone’s home.”
In South West London, as our interviewees sit for their headshots, we overhear them chatting about which bits of the Tropic experience bring them the most joy. “The crazy part is that you can fill a room with your friends and family, smell the formulations, soothe each other’s skin and enjoy an evening of relaxation and relationship building, then pack up your Pamper kit and call it a day’s work,” explains Kavita Patel, Team Ambassador.
On a warm, orange-hued evening in The Wirrall, Alice Bidston tucks her daughter tightly into bed and places a kiss on her cheek. Kit bag heavy with tinkering glass bottles and keys in hand, she pounds the pavement towards the garden Pamper she’s been planning, the promise of a good night tickling the air. Doors are closing shut all around the UK on this balmy evening – some gently
and quietly, so as not to disturb the precious sleep of young children, some slammed with excitement and vigour, while venturing out into the fresh, hopeful sunset air.
Ambassadors from all walks of life step together tonight, although they may not even know it, united in solidarity and striding towards the same single mission – to share wisdom about these natural, nourishing products, to nurture their skills as a business leader, and to simply enjoy an escape from the distraction of daily life.
In many ways, our Ambassadors aren’t just the face of the Tropic brand; they’re the caring arms that reach out and envelop our customers, the sturdy legs that carry us towards our Infinite Purpose, and the beating heart that spreads our passion and products far and
wide. This is an ode to them, an opportunity for us to show them some love and shout from the rooftops about how special they are, as they so often do for us.
“The best thing I’ve gained from Tropic is a whole new network of women with kind hearts, smart minds and shining souls who encourage and celebrate each other – Tropic is an oasis of light, positivity and fun in our lives!”
LAUREN WHITE, AMBASSADOR
To celebrate the launch of our Juicy Greens Exfoliating Toning Essence, plant-based blogger Amy Lanza (@nourishing.amy) created this nutritious, plant-powered dish. With some of Juicy Greens’ supercharged ingredients, this healthy, hydrating recipe will help you get your greens, and then some. Enjoy!
SERVES: 2-4
TIME: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
For the dressing:
• 3 tbsp tahini
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 small garlic clove, crushed
• 2-3 tbsp water
• Salt and pepper
For the salad:
• 70g quinoa
• 40g kale
• 40g salad leaves, e.g. lettuce, spinach, watercress
• 1 tbsp parsley or coriander, freshly chopped
• 1 tbsp mint, freshly chopped
• 100g cucumber
• 3 kiwis
• 40g dairy-free feta cheese, crumbled
• 40g walnuts, crushed
METHOD:
1. Prepare the dressing by stirring together all the ingredients until it’s smooth and pourable.
2. Cook the quinoa according to the packet instructions, drain and allow to cool. Fluff up with a fork after 10 minutes.
3. Slice off the stems from the kale and roughly chop. Add to a mixing bowl with 1 tbsp of the dressing and massage with your hands for 1 minute to wilt the leaves.
4. Add the salad leaves, cooked quinoa and herbs.
5. Slice the cucumber either into long strips, small cubes, or halfmoons. Similarly slice the kiwis (you can leave the skin on). Add most of the cucumber and kiwi to the salad bowl and toss well with
half of the dressing. Stir in half of the cheese and walnuts.
6. Pour the salad into bowls and top with the remaining cucumber, kiwi, feta cheese, and walnuts.
7. Eat straight away or store leftovers for 2-3 days in the fridge in a sealed container.
Note that softer salad leaves, like lettuce, will wilt more quickly, so it’s best to toss them into the salad just before serving.

We now have more than 20,000 Tropic Ambassadors sharing our products with a personal touch, but our family started off a little smaller...
Our founder and CEO, Susie, started our social selling business model primarily to continue to sell our products while maintaining a real connection with customers, mirroring her experience on London’s market stalls as a teenager. Alongside this, it enables us to keep our products as fresh as possible because they’re not sitting on shelves in retail outlets, and we also get to give people across the UK the opportunity to grow a business, in whatever way works for them. That’s why our products can only be purchased directly from our website or from a member of our Ambassador family.
The majority of our Ambassadors join Tropic because they love using our products (93%*), it’s as simple
as that. They find themselves recommending products to their friends and family, and then it naturally grows into a business from there.
We’re very proud of our business model and how we’re able to connect with our customers on a personal level every day, thanks to our Ambassadors. Just like our products and ethics strive to lead the way in the beauty industry, we want the way our business is run to do exactly the same.
That’s why when you shop with one of our Ambassadors, you know that you’re supporting an individual's business. You’re also receiving a personal shopping service tailored to you. Your Ambassador isn’t allowed to hold stock, so they’re helping
you to choose products that are truly right for your skin. All of our orders are double carbon-offset and help to fund education for children living in some of the poorest, most remote communities in the world.
So in a nutshell, it’s not just social selling, it’s social shopping. In fact, it’s even better than that – it’s sustainable shopping, and when we’re working towards creating a healthier, greener, more empowered world, we’re pretty sure that’s the best way to keep your beauty bank topped up!
If you’d like to read more about our Ambassador family, simply scan the QR code.
With pioneering packaging technology and more effective, eco-conscious formulations, your skincare favourites got their very own glow up!
