Brightening Serum by Axiology
Handmade in the USA with Globally Sourced Packaging
Axiology’s Brightening Serum is a lightweight, silky serum oil designed to help brighten the look of dull skin and promote a more even-looking complexion while delivering lightweight hydration and antioxidant support.
Formulated with a stabilized Vitamin C and antioxidant-rich reishi mushroom, this serum helps skin look radiant, refreshed, and visibly glowing without irritation or heaviness.
Why It Works
Vitamin C helps improve the look of dullness and uneven tone while supporting a bright, luminous appearance.
Reishi mushroom, rich in antioxidants, helps support skin exposed to daily environmental stressors and promotes a healthy-looking glow.
A blend of nourishing seed oils- including jojoba, cranberry, raspberry, and chia—helps maintain hydration and leave skin looking smooth and supple.

Our Commitment to Sustainability
The beauty industry creates 120 billion units of packaging waste every single year and Axiology was part of the problem. Yes our lipsticks were ethically sourced, cruelty-free, vegan, and the tubes were made from 50% post-consumer recycled plastic, but it was still waste that would eventually end up in a landfill or our oceans. So in 2022, we ditched all of the plastic for our makeup products and focused our efforts on fighting the beauty industry’s massive waste problem.
