Quinoa One-Step Balanced Gel Cleanser

Quinoa One-Step Balanced Gel Cleanser is a gentle Korean gel cleanser from AXIS-Y designed for daily use on acne-prone and sensitive skin. This low pH formula (pH 5.5) removes makeup, excess oil, and impurities in one simple step without stripping moisture. The star ingredient, Quinoa Extract, provides vitamins A, B2, B3, and B12 for nourished, healthy-looking skin. The formula includes 110,000 ppm Centella Asiatica plus five other plant extracts to calm, balance, and protect the skin barrier. Vegan, cruelty-free, and suitable for all skin types.

How This Gel Cleanser Works

This one-step cleanser provides complete cleansing while keeping the skin's natural balance intact.

The Cleansing Process

1. Gel Phase – Light gel dispenses from pump

2. Foam Creation – Water transforms gel into soft lather

3. Cleansing Phase – Foam lifts makeup, oil, and impurities

4. Rinse Phase – Water removes everything cleanly

The low pH formula respects the skin's acid mantle, preventing the tight, dry feeling many cleansers cause.

What It Removes

The gentle foam effectively cleanses away:

• Light makeup and cosmetics

• Sunscreen and SPF products

• Excess sebum and oil

• Daily dirt and pollutants

• Environmental toxins

• Dead skin cells

The 6+1+1 Formula

AXIS-Y uses a unique 6+1+1 approach: 6 carefully selected plant extracts, 1 functional goal (balancing), and 1 star ingredient (Quinoa).

These plant-based ingredients work together to cleanse while actively caring for skin health.

Why Quinoa Is the Star Ingredient

Quinoa is a nutrient-rich superfood that benefits the skin in multiple ways:

What Quinoa Extract provides:

• Vitamin A for skin renewal

• Vitamin B2 for healthy glow

• Vitamin B3 for barrier support

• Vitamin B12 for nourishment

• Essential amino acids

• Soothing and anti-inflammatory effects

This superfood ingredient helps the skin look healthy, balanced, and refreshed after every wash.

Why pH 5.5 Matters

Healthy skin has a natural pH of around 5.5. Many cleansers are too alkaline, which can damage the skin barrier and cause problems.

This cleanser maintains the skin's healthy pH while effectively removing impurities.

Gentle Plant-Based Surfactants

The formula uses mild cleansing agents derived from natural sources:

Decyl Glucoside — Made from corn starch, this gentle surfactant cleanses without irritation.

Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate — Derived from coconut oil, it provides effective yet mild cleansing action.

These plant-based surfactants clean thoroughly while being kind to sensitive and acne-prone skin.

The Herbal Complex

A patented blend of three herbs provides additional skin benefits:

• Green Tea — Antioxidant protection and calming

• Holy Basil — Antibacterial and pore-clearing

• Tea Tree — Supports acne-prone skin

This complex helps keep skin moisturised, elastic, and firm while controlling breakouts.
