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."
