Calming Serum by Axiology
Handmade in the USA with Globally Sourced Packaging
Axiology’s Calming Serum is a lightweight, silky serum oil created to help calm the look of stressed or reactive skin while supporting hydration and balance- without clogging pores or feeling greasy.
Formulated with jojoba oil to closely resemble skin’s natural oils and reishi mushroom to help support skin exposed to daily environmental stressors, this serum leaves skin feeling comfortable, soft, and refreshed.
Why it works
Jojoba oil closely resembles skin’s natural sebum, helping maintain moisture balance and a smooth, comfortable feel without heaviness.
Reishi mushroom, rich in antioxidants, helps support skin that looks stressed or fatigued from daily exposure to environmental factors.
Botanical oils including grape seed and rosehip help skin feel supple and appear more even and radiant over time.

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.
