The Future of Skincare and Sustainability: How Circular Bodies is Leading the Way

In a world where synthetic chemicals and mass production dominate the skincare industry, Circular Bodies is redefining what it means to care for both our bodies and the planet. Founded by Dominique Flaksberg, Circular Bodies is a brand that brings sustainability, transparency, and natural ingredients to the forefront of skincare and home products.
A Mission Rooted in Circularity
Unlike conventional brands that rely on synthetic formulations and plastic packaging, Circular Bodies takes a holistic approach to sustainability. Every product is designed to return to the earth, a practice known as circularity. From organic, unrefined ingredients to 100% biodegradable packaging, the brand’s mission is simple: what’s best for our health should also be best for the environment.
“We often forget that everything we consume has a lifecycle. At Circular Bodies, we make sure that lifecycle doesn’t harm the earth—it replenishes it.” — Dominique Flaksberg, Founder of Circular Bodies
What Sets Circular Bodies Apart?
-
Earth-Based Ingredients: Each product is handcrafted in small batches using ingredients that are minimally processed, organic, and regenerative whenever possible. The formulations feature familiar, kitchen-grade ingredients like coconut oil, jojoba oil, lavender, and orange peels—a stark contrast to the chemical-laden alternatives on most store shelves.
-
Biodegradable and Zero-Waste: Many mainstream soaps and personal care products contain non-biodegradable detergents that pollute waterways. Circular Bodies ensures that its products break down naturally without harming ecosystems, protecting wildlife and water sources from synthetic chemicals like SLS and artificial fragrances.
-
Sustainable Sourcing & Packaging: Circular Bodies actively supports small, organic farmers and prioritizes regenerative agriculture. Every product is packaged in compostable or reusable materials, eliminating the need for single-use plastics.
-
Back-to-Nature Philosophy: Dominique believes that skincare and home care should work in harmony with the environment, not against it. The brand challenges the overuse of petroleum-based ingredients, which are found in everything from skincare to food, and seeks alternatives that are kinder to both the human body and the planet.
The Problem with Conventional Skincare
While many assume all soaps and skincare products are biodegradable, the reality is quite the opposite. Most conventional soaps and detergents contain synthetic compounds that persist in water systems for years, affecting aquatic life and contaminating ecosystems. Circular Bodies takes a stand against this by crafting products that are fully biodegradable, non-toxic, and free from synthetic additives.
“Using non-biodegradable products means that the water you use in your home carries pollutants into the environment. The fish in our rivers, the insects in our soils, and even people downstream suffer from the choices we make today.” — Dominique
A Movement, Not Just a Brand
Circular Bodies isn’t just about selling sustainable products; it’s about educating and inspiring change. Dominique regularly engages with customers at farmers' markets, where she shares insights about circular living and helps consumers make more informed choices.
The brand encourages individuals to rethink their daily habits and transition to simpler, healthier, and earth-friendly solutions. The goal? A world where personal care doesn’t come at the cost of environmental degradation.
The Future of Circular Bodies
With a growing community of eco-conscious consumers, Circular Bodies is expanding its product line while staying true to its values. Future initiatives include:
-
Scaling up sourcing partnerships with regenerative farms.
-
Innovating new biodegradable formulas to replace harmful household products.
-
Educational programs and workshops to spread awareness about circular living.
For those looking to reduce their environmental impact without compromising on quality, Circular Bodies offers a tangible way to create positive change—one biodegradable product at a time.
