Yay—let's recycle! Here’s a quick guide for when you've finished using all your products:
1. Make the products 'recycle ready' by rinsing it out and cleaning it. What if the product doesn't work for me? Give it to someone who might like to try it! That way, you will minimise wastage and give the product a second home. ♡♡
2. Get the DETAILS! Typically, most skin care packaging is recyclable in Australia, but what can and can’t be recycled depends on where you live. A quick Google search will reveal a recycling guideline based on your state / territory.
3. Can I put this in my recycling bin? If you've checked and the answer is 'yes', give these items a second life and put them in the recycling bin. If it's not, look into enterprises like TerraCycle, to help you properly recycle your beauty products. If the product is recycable through TerraCycle, it is FREE and all you have to do is gather your empty products together, print a recycling label and ship it out - that’s it! They’ll take care of the rest for you.
FYI, recycling plants uses numbers ranging from 1 to 7 to help sort all the materials. PETE stands for Polyethylene Terephthalate and PP stands for Polypropylene — these are both plastics. PAP represents paper / mixed paper / cardboard. See Earth Easy to learn more about your plastics.
That's it babes! Remember to love our earth; love our planet! #dontbetrashy
Oh we're excited for this one. High-performance makeup maestros Axiology has one of the best sheer-to-medium coverage foundations on. the. market. And your skin will love it!
Introducing Fungdation, the world's first foundation powered by mushrooms. Why mushrooms? Long used in K-beauty, Snow mushrooms can hold up to 500 times their weight in water, helping plump the skin. Reishi mushrooms, meanwhile, are rich in beta-glucans. They can increase skin's moisture retention by 20-25%. Along with cocoa butter and vitamin E, you're looking at an intensely hydrating, good-for-skin formula.
Let's talk about the application and finish: the texture is creamy and lightweight with a natural, satiny finish. There's a hint of dewy in there too. The coverage isn't cakey in the slightest - it's a few degrees stronger than a tint and enough to make blemishes and pigmentation disappear.
Packaged in eco-friendly, biodegradable tubes, Fungdation is not just a foundation — it's a daily ritual of skin renewal and hydration.

Many foundations are not vegan. While they may be cruelty-free, they can contain animal by-products, or be owned by larger companies that permit animal testing. This is not a concern with Axiology. They are 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and woman-owned. Their makeup is batch-made, with traceable ingredients.
All Axiology products including the Axiology Foundations are cruelty-free. Plus, the brand's entire product range is vegan as well, and made with clean ingredients. And as of 2023, Axiology has gone 100% plastic-free with its new products! Good for your skin, good for the planet.
Axiology's Foundation can be used on sensitive skin, thanks to its clean, vegan ingredients. There's nothing in the formula that stands out as an irritant (but patch test first if you have hypersensitive skin). It is quite moisturizing, with cocoa butter, jojoba and meadowfoam seed oil in the formula. It's also great for skin on the dehydrated side.
What makes Axiology Vegan Foundation eco-friendly are that they are zero-waste, palm oil-free and packaged in biodegradable tubes. This formula is also water-free - because yes, water is a precious and finite resource. The less used by the beauty industry in its formulas, the better for the planet.
