What this page covers

AXIS-Y is a Korean skincare brand founded in 2019 in Seoul, under the parent company Asia Master Trade Co., Ltd. It describes its approach as climate-inspired: the idea that skin reacts to humidity, temperature and city conditions, so formulas should account for the environment people actually live in. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free, and manufacturing stays entirely in Korea.

The brand is known for its 6+1+1 formula: six botanical extracts as a base, one active ingredient for a specific concern, and one technology ingredient. Its most recognized product, the Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum, is built around niacinamide, rice bran extract, squalane and papaya, and has stayed near the top of K-beauty rankings for several years. Alongside it sit a quinoa-based cleansing range and treatments featuring centella and heartleaf (houttuynia).

This page collects the AXIS-Y product catalog with each formula broken down. For every item you can see the full INCI list, and each ingredient carries an evidence rating through a traffic-light system and A–F tiers, plus pregnancy safety notes. Evigrade is an independent ingredient reference, not a shop and not a source of medical advice: it lets you check what a product is made of and how the evidence rates its components.
