Axiom AG's NYX Highlighter: Glow Up Your Routine, Made in California
Axiom AG LLC, based in Reedley, California, is a manufacturing powerhouse quietly powering some of your favorite beauty brands. We're not the face you see on the packaging, but we're the hands behind the quality, the folks making sure your makeup feels as good as it looks. For years, we've been helping brands formulate, manufacture, and package cosmetic products – and now, we're shining a spotlight (pun intended!) on one of our specialties: high-quality highlighters, specifically the NYX Highlighter. What's the Deal with Highlighting? Let’s be real, everyone wants that lit-from-within glow. Highlighting isn’t about piling on glitter; it's about strategically placing light-reflecting product on your face to emphasize your best features. Think cheekbones that pop, a brighter nose bridge, a more lifted brow bone – it's basically instant sculpting with makeup. And the NYX Highlighter, manufactured by Axiom AG, delivers that glow beautifully. Why the NYX Highlighter Stands Out (and Why We’re Proud to Make It) We at Axiom AG take pride in meticulous manufacturing. It's not just about making the product; it's about making a good product. Here's what makes the NYX Highlighter special, from a manufacturing and product perspective: Super Blendable Formula: This isn't chalky or cakey. We've worked hard on the formulation to ensure a buttery-smooth texture that blends seamlessly into the skin. No harsh lines, just a natural, radiant glow. We use micronized pigments – incredibly fine particles – that help it melt into your skin. The entire process of milling those pigments, ensuring consistent particle size, is something we handle in-house at our Reedley facility. Versatile Shades: The NYX Highlighter comes in a range of shades to suit all skin tones. From subtle champagne tones for fair skin to deeper bronzes for darker complexions, there's a shade for everyone. We manage the color matching process precisely, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency so your customers always get the shade they expect. Buildability is Key: Want a subtle everyday glow? Apply a light dusting. Heading out for a night? Layer it on for a more intense highlight. The formula is designed to be buildable, giving you complete control over the intensity of your glow. We carefully control the ratio of pigments to binders to achieve this. Long-Lasting Radiance: Nobody wants a highlighter that fades away after an hour. We formulate with ingredients that help the pigment adhere to the skin, ensuring long-lasting radiance. This includes specialized polymers we incorporate into the formula during our mixing process. Packaging That Protects & Delivers: The packaging isn't an afterthought. We handle the filling and assembly, ensuring the product is protected from contamination and delivered in perfect condition. Leak-proof containers and secure closures are critical, and we’ve refined our processes to meet those standards. How We Make It Happen: A Peek Behind the Scenes at Axiom AG So, how do we translate a concept into a glowing reality? Here's a simplified look at the manufacturing process for the NYX Highlighter at our Reedley, CA facility: 1.

Every batch of raw material undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets our strict standards for purity and quality. This includes visual inspection, particle size analysis, and chemical testing. 2. Blending & Milling: The ingredients are carefully weighed and blended according to precise formulas. This is where the micronized pigments are key. We utilize high-speed mixers and specialized milling equipment to ensure a smooth, consistent texture. 3. Quality Control Checks – Round Two: After blending, the formula undergoes further testing. We check for color accuracy, texture, and consistency. 4. Filling & Packaging: The finished formula is carefully filled into the NYX Highlighter packaging. This is done using automated filling equipment, ensuring accurate and efficient production. Our team then applies labels and assembles the final product. 5. Final Inspection & Quality Assurance: Every NYX Highlighter undergoes a final inspection to ensure it meets our stringent quality standards. This includes checking for defects, proper labeling, and overall appearance. 6.
