About Tropic

Susie, our Founder and CEO, started Tropic Skincare as a teenager, selling homemade body scrubs at Greenwich Market to help her mum pay the bills. She sold out on her first day and the incredible response made her realise she had started something quite special.

Our brand is certified vegan, cruelty-free and CarbonNeutral, and our infinite purpose is to create a healthier, greener, more empowered world. And that’s where you come in
