Revived’s debut at the Glasgow Coffee Festival. Over the weekend of April 26th and 27th, we had the absolute pleasure of launching our brand-new upcycled skincare brand — Revived — at none other than the Glasgow Coffee Festival.
Set against the backdrop of Scotland’s vibrant coffee scene, this iconic festival draws some of the best coffee roasters, baristas, and enthusiasts from across the country. For us, it was the perfect place to unveil our mission: showing the world that skincare and sustainability can (and should) go hand in hand.
Introducing Revived — Skincare With Purpose
At Revived, we take ingredients that would otherwise go to waste — like spent coffee grounds — and give them a second life. Our first product, the Revitalising Mocha Body Scrub, is a perfect example. Made with our own upcycled coffee oil, defatted coffee grounds, cocoa butter, and sunflower oil, this gentle exfoliator is kind to your skin and the planet. It is also certified by the Vegan Society.
The formulation is simple but effective: no plastic microbeads, no palm oil, and no unnecessary fillers. Just naturally nourishing ingredients that leave your skin smooth, soft, and glowing.
A Warm Welcome at the Festival
We’ll admit it — we were a little nervous as we set up our stand. How would a crowd of coffee connoisseurs respond to a skincare product made from their beloved brew?
The answer? With overwhelming support and enthusiasm.
Visitors to our stand were genuinely excited by our story and loved the chance to try our Revitalising Mocha Body Scrub and preview our upcoming Revived Coffee Oil.
We had comments like:
- “That aroma is fantastic.”
- “It’s a nice, gentle exfoliator.”
- “Not greasy, or sticky — I love the texture!”
Hearing such positive feedback from a discerning audience gave us a huge boost and confirmed we’re on the right track.

Closing the Loop With Glasgow Coffee Festival
Beyond Revived’s debut at the Glasgow Coffee Festival, we also teamed up with the festival team to tackle another important issue: coffee waste.
Over the course of the weekend, we collected all the spent coffee grounds from the event and used them to create the a new batch of our Revived Coffee Oil.
This kind of closed-loop collaboration is exactly what we’re all about. Turning what would be discarded into something beautiful and beneficial.
You can read more about our partnership in the festival’s blog post, Giving Coffee Grounds a Second Life.
What’s Next for Revived?
The excitement around our upcoming coffee oil was off the charts. We’re currently putting the finishing touches on this oil, and we can’t wait to make it available on Amazon soon.
Stay tuned — this one’s going to be a game-changer.
We left the Glasgow Coffee Festival feeling inspired, energised, and even more committed to our mission.
Huge thanks to the organisers, our fellow exhibitors, and everyone who stopped by the Revived stand.
We’ll definitely be back next year — hopefully with even more upcycled skincare to share!
