Description

Minon Amino Moist Gentle Wash Whip 150ml is a pharmaceutical-grade foam cleanser for dry, sensitive, and atopic skin — developed by Daiichi Sankyo using 9 moisture-retaining amino acids and 2 conditioning amino acids from coconut-derived gentle surfactants, designed to support the NMF (Natural Moisturising Factor) during cleansing rather than stripping it. It is the cleansing step in the Minon Amino Moist routine for skin that cannot tolerate standard facial cleansers.

  • 9 Moisture-Retaining Amino Acids — support the skin's NMF barrier function and lock in internal hydration during washing
  • 2 Conditioning Amino Acids — refine skin texture and improve translucency
  • Coconut-derived cleansing agents — mild, biodegradable surfactants at skin-compatible pH
  • Low-pH formula — protects the natural acid mantle that standard cleansers disrupt
  • Self-foaming pump — pre-formed cloud-like foam eliminates lathering friction
  • Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, paraben-free — pharmaceutical-grade purity appropriate for atopic skin

How it works: The NMF in the stratum corneum contains many of the same amino acids present in this formula — applying them during cleansing simultaneously cleans the skin surface and supplements the NMF content that cleansing inevitably removes. This is the opposite approach to most cleansers, which prioritise removal efficiency and treat barrier restoration as a post-wash concern. By supporting NMF actively during washing, the Minon cleanser reduces the post-wash tightness window significantly.

Minon vs Curel foam wash vs IHADA milk cleanser for atopic skin: Minon uses NMF amino acids for barrier support during cleansing. Curel uses Ceramide Care for lipid-barrier preservation. IHADA uses a milk-format no-foam cleanser for zero-friction cleansing. For skin that tolerates foam but needs maximum NMF support, Minon. For skin that cannot tolerate foam friction at all, IHADA milk cleanser is the zero-friction alternative.

Known in Japan as ミノン アミノモイスト ジェントルウォッシュ ホイップ 150ml.

Key Ingredients
  • 9 Moisture-Retaining Amino Acids: Work to support the skin's barrier function and lock in internal hydration.
  • 2 Conditioning Amino Acids: Helps to refine skin texture and improve overall translucency.
  • Coconut-Derived Cleansing Agents: Provides a mild, biodegradable cleaning action that respects skin proteins.
  • Glycerin: Acts as a powerful humectant to ensure the skin remains plump during and after the rinse.
  • Free-from: Fragrance, Colorants, Alcohol (Ethanol), Parabens, and UV Absorbers

HOW TO USE
  1. Wet your face and dispense 2–3 pumps of foam into your palm.
  2. Gently spread the foam over the entire face, letting the bubbles lift the dirt without rubbing.
  3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Pro Tip: Avoid using hot water, as it can strip the amino acids; 32°C (just below body temp) is the ideal "Minon temperature" for sensitive skin

FAQ

Does Minon Amino Moist Gentle Wash remove waterproof makeup?
This is a "second cleanser" or morning wash. It is designed to remove sweat, sebum, and daily pollutants. For waterproof mascara or heavy foundation, use the Minon Amino Moist Cleansing Milk first, followed by this Gentle Wash for a complete routine.

Is this product safe for babies or children?
Yes, Minon is a family-trusted brand in Japan. Due to its hypoallergenic, low-pH, and fragrance-free formula, it is frequently used by parents for children with dry or sensitive skin.

How does Minon compare to the Kanebo Freeplus Gentle Cleanser?
Both are excellent for sensitive skin. Freeplus incorporates Japanese and Chinese herbal extracts for barrier repair, while Minon focuses more heavily on a high-concentration amino acid complex to mimic the skin's natural moisture.

Can I use this if I have oily but sensitive skin?
Yes. If your skin is "oily-dehydrated" (shiny on top but tight underneath), this cleanser is ideal. It cleanses the oil without triggering the skin to produce more "rebound" sebum due to dryness.

Why is it called "Unstable Skin" care in Japan?
In Japan, "Yuragi-hada" refers to skin that fluctuates due to hormones, stress, or seasons. Minon is engineered specifically to stabilize these fluctuations by keeping the amino acid levels consistent.

How do I identify a fake vs. authentic version and how does TokyoShelf source?
Authentic Minon has a distinct, high-quality matte pump and a batch code printed on the bottom of the bottle. Fake versions often have a watery foam that disappears instantly. At TokyoShelf, we source sourced fresh from Tokyo directly from Daiichi Sankyo authorized distributors to ensure you receive the genuine 2026 Japan Version.
