The Brightening Edit

Even tone, visibly lit skin.

Twelve formulas built around the actives the data actually backs — niacinamide, stabilized vitamin C, azelaic acid, tranexamic, and a short list of botanicals. Every SKU clears the 1,800-ingredient screen and a board-certified derm panel before it ships.

“The Radiance Serum is the first product in my entire life that visibly evened my skin tone. I’m on bottle four. The pump is a small joy every morning.”

“I have a cabinet of $200 cleansing balms and the Marble one out-performs every single one. The texture, the rinse-off, the no-residue. Cult product.”

Frequently asked

Brightening, answered honestly.

What’s your return policy?
Try Vellum risk-free for 60 days. If your skin doesn’t love it, we’ll refund the full purchase — even if the bottle is empty. Just email hello@vellumbeauty.co and we’ll handle the rest. No return shipping required.
How long does shipping take?
Domestic US orders ship same-day if placed by 2pm PT. Standard shipping (3–5 business days) is free over $50. Expedited 2-day and next-day options at checkout. We carbon-offset every package.
What ingredients do you exclude?
We exclude every ingredient on the EU restricted list — about 1,800 in total. That includes parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, formaldehyde-releasers, and silicones. You can read the full exclusion list on every product page.
Is Vellum safe for sensitive skin?
Every Vellum formula is fragrance-free, pH-balanced, and tested on a 60-person sensitive-skin panel before release. We also include a 10-day consumer in-use trial. Of course, every skin is different — if you’re unsure, our Skin Quiz recommends the right starting routine for you.
Is Vellum cruelty-free?
Yes. Vellum is Leaping Bunny certified — we do not test on animals, our suppliers do not test on animals, and we do not sell in markets that require animal testing. The certification is renewed annually.
Are products vegan?
Most products are vegan. The two exceptions are our Restorative Honey Mask (which contains organic Manuka honey) and our Hydrating Lip Treatment (which contains beeswax). Both are clearly labeled and we’re happy to recommend vegan alternatives.
