Color Up Brand Story

Coloring Up The World


The VXN Chapter (2023–2025)

We chose the VXN— the female fox — as our symbol. Fierce. Adaptive. Undefeated. We launched as VXN Wellness to honor the contract while keeping the legal Color Up entity and licensed lab alive.

On beeswax vs. sunflower wax: During VXN, we transitioned to sunflower wax to pursue PETA vegan certification. Real-world production showed this affected product stability. Color Up salves are reverting to the original beeswax formulations — the same recipes trusted for years.

The Return to Color Up (2025–Present)

As we began shifting digital assets back to Color Up to resolve our Google suspension, something unexpected happened: partners we hadn't heard from in two years started flooding our DMs. The community spoke clearly — Color Up is home.

Then came the final straw. A former co-founder publicly posted that "The company you are running now is not Color Up." This claim — made by someone who used Color Up relationships and former team members to build their own competing brand — stems from the same mindset that almost shut us down in 2023. We refuse to let that mindset win. We answer it with clarity, not silence.

Our decision to reclaim the Color Up name is a strategic act of restoration. We are here to restore eleven years of brand equity, visibility, and community. We aren't going anywhere. In fact, we are just getting started.
