Recycled Content
Recycling is the process of taking an otherwise-discarded item or material and cleaning, sorting, and breaking it down into its basic form (such as fibers or pellets). This material is then used to produce new items. Recycling keeps useful materials from being discarded in landfills, prevents resource extraction due to the creation of new materials, and provides a new life for used items. Recycling can utilize both pre-consumer waste (materials left over from production) or post-consumer materials (used clothing, empty water bottles, etc).

Brands that are Climate Neutral Certified have achieved net-zero carbon emissions while maintaining production and delivery of their products and services over the course of a year. Through Climate Neutral, brands undergo a process to measure, offset, and ultimately reduce their carbon emissions — representing their continued commitment to our planet’s well-being.

Cruelty Free
Cruelty Free is a certification process through PETA that labels products that are not tested on animals. All companies that are included on PETA's cruelty-free list have signed a statement verifying that they don't use ingredients or create finished products that help conduct or pay for any tests on animals.

Made in the USA
This product was made in the United States. Buying locally made items helps to reduce harmful emissions that result from transportation during and after the production process. Purchasing products made in the United States also ensures that the items are produced in ways that meet strict safety and labor standards.

Paraben Free
Parabens are synthetic chemical preservatives, commonly used in beauty products like shampoo, lotion, and deodorants. Parabens can accumulate in your body, and have been linked to hormonal disruption and reproductive problems. In studies of breast cancer patients, parabens have been found in the tissue of cancerous tumors. If you want to avoid Parabens in your beauty products, keep an eye out for methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben in the ingredients list.

Phthalate Free
Phthalates are found in toys, electronics, personal care products, plastic wraps, containers, and more. These petroleum based chemicals help soften plastics, and bind fragrances to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other personal care products. Phthalates are are not chemically bound, meaning they can easily get released into the air, water, or your body, just by using the products as intended. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, which can cause reproductive damage, hormonal imbalances, infertility, mood changes, metabolism changes, and more.

Plastic Free
No petroleum-based plastics are used in this product or its packaging. Plastic can be difficult to properly recycle, may never biodegrade, and is known to leech toxic chemicals into our bodies and environment. Single-use plastics also require extracting and processing of finite resources, so seeking out biodegradable, infinitely recyclable, or durable products and packaging is recommended whenever possible.

Safe and Fair Labor
We support safe and fair labor practices when producing sustainable products. This company cares for their workers by fostering a safe work environment and providing their employees with fair wage.

Sulfate Free
Sulfates are synthetic chemical ingredients commonly used in beauty products and household cleaners, like shampoos and dish soaps. You can usually identify sulfates in an ingredients list by looking out for the most common types: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLC) and Sodium Laureth Sulfates (SLES). These chemicals, often derived from petroleum, are used to help form the “lather” we’re used to seeing in our beauty and cleaning products. When used in the shower or sink, these chemicals can flow through the pipes and into our waterways. Synthetic sulfates have been linked to allergic reactions, eye and skin irritation, and hair loss, and some studies suggest they contain carcinogenic ingredients.

USDA Certified Organic
Organic materials and ingredients are grown without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers, promoting a healthier use of land and decreasing harmful agricultural runoff. By steering clear of toxic chemicals, farm workers experience less exposure to hazardous conditions, promoting social responsibility as well as environmental stewardship. Choosing organic materials eliminates the use of insecticides and other harmful chemicals, promotes efficient resource use, and results in a safer products and a cleaner planet! Products labeled as USDA certified organic contain ingredients that are produced without pesticides, petrochemicals, ionizing radiation, or synthetic preservetives. USDA certified products are categorized into three classifications. Items labeled as "100% Organic" with the USDA seal must only include organic ingredients. Items labeled as "Organic" with the USDA seal must contain at least 95% organically produced ingredients, and cannot contain any of the USDA excluded methods or ingredients. Products labeled as "Made with Organic Ingredients" must contain at least 70% organic ingredients.

Excited to Try the New Formula

I've been using the 2022 formula daily for a few months. I love the way it hydrates my skin. I'm excited to try the improved formula- it's hard to believe it could get any better!

Love the serum all day every day

My skin can be very dry and discoloration and dullness are how my skin is starting to show aging. I love this serum - it glides on silky smooth and my skin drinks it right in. My skin is baby soft after using it the first time and after using it twice a day for less than. Week my skin was noticeably brighter. More even tone. Just looked way younger and plumper. I love it. Especially with summer and hours in salty water some days this is a great way to give my skin some extra TLC

Love this

This is now my go to for a vitamin C product that's low waste. It's easy to wear under other stuff in the morning or layer under moisturizers because it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave me shiny.

Wish it had more antioxidants

I really like this serum. It's great for my acne prone skin, but I do wish that the serum had more antioxidants. Currently, the serum only contains the antioxidant SAP which I love but because it only contains 1 antioxidant I have to use another product in the mornings. Please consider reformulating the serum to include not only the current 5% SAP but also other gentle antioxidants, such as Epigallocatechin Gallate, Resveratrol, Genistein, Superoxide Dismutase, Glutathione, Silymarin, Acetyl Zingerone, Ubiqunone, or Ergothioneine. I wouldn't mind paying extra for a serum that has 5% SAP and some of these additional antioxidants as well as hydrating ingredients.

Love!!

I started off with the travel/trial set to try out a variety of products and after the first week I was obsessed! Activist Skincare is exactly what I was looking for when it came to high-quality products and sustainability. After a few simple questions I was able to set up a convenient subscription to fit my needs based off how often I would be using each product. They also go above and beyond with the packaging and even go as far to leave a handwritten note inside the box. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking to change up their skincare routine with sustainable products.

Love it!

This is a great serum! After a few weeks of using it, I can tell that my skin takes in moisturizers much better. Some of my dark spots are lightening too! I signed up for the membership and got the sweetest note and a sample of the precious oil :) Love this company and what they do.

Freshly obsessed

I’ve been using activist for about 6 months and I don’t think I’ll ever go back!!! I originally came for the zero waste packaging but quickly found that nothing was compromised in the making. With whole and natural ingredients as a part of my everyday routine, my skin has never looked clearer!! I am in love with this company and their products I own everything in the line!!

Slippy, smooth, and refreshing!

I love everything about this serum. It's the perfect hydrator for me. Makes my skin feel so good and sets me up for Precious Oils. My skin has never been so clear and glowy before using this 4 step system! I am obsessed!

Great at improving skin hydration

I’ve been using my full-sized Activist products for about a month now (after using the sample kit for a few weeks), and I’m in love with the entire routine. I alternate between the two serums, using the Active Hydration each morning. I was having terrible problems with dry skin during the Winter months before starting the Activist routine, and I couldn't be happier with how fast my skin health and hydration improved.

A Little Goes a Long Way!

LOVE this serum! My skin tends to be a combination of oily and dry, depending on the weather and this serum has been absolutely AMAZING! Just a couple of drops and my skin is feeling soft and refreshed!

Love this stuff

I use this in conjunction with the skin to skin cleanser and my skin hasn't felt this healthy since I was a teenager. I don't even need to use it every night because it does such a good job moisturizing my skin. I had never bought fancy face product before so I balked at the price at first, but honestly one bottle will last me forever! So totally worth it. Treat your skin to some decadence!
