our story

minalone was born out of a deep need for skincare solutions tailored to melanated skin. Our founder’s personal struggle with hyperpigmentation and cystic acne led to a relentless pursuit of effective skincare formulas for brown complexions. minalone is dedicated to shortening the journey to healthy, radiant skin for those who have historically been underserved in the skincare industry.

our skincare is born from the collaboration of top cosmetic chemists, each bringing their expertise to solve the unique challenges of melanated skin. every formula undergoes rigorous research and testing on Fitzpatrick skin types 4, 5, and 6, ensuring it delivers real, visible results on melanated skin. with years of experience and a deep understanding of skin science, our team is dedicated to creating products that cater to your complexion’s needs—because your skin deserves to be a priority, not an afterthought.

a note from our founder

"minalone was born from my own struggle to find skincare that truly worked for my brown, acne-prone, easily scarred skin. I spent twenty years figuring out how to banish my acne and clear up my stubborn hyperpigmentation through trial and error in a world, and a time, where no one made products for people who look like me. That experience birthed my passion and drive to create a line that puts the unique needs of melanated skin first and foremost rather than treating it as an afterthought."
