The Story of Minecla — French Dermo-cosmetics with Clinically Proven Actives
Minecla was born from a simple observation: effective skincare either hid its active concentrations or charged a disproportionate marketing margin. Dylan and his mother — a doctor of pharmacy with twenty years of clinical expertise — decided to change that. The principle: formulate with pure actives at scientifically validated concentrations, declare them on every carton, and manufacture in France with full traceability on every ingredient.
“Effective skincare was either too expensive or opaque about its concentrations. We decided to build an alternative: four actives, four formulas, four results. Fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested, made in France. No promises without proof. No hidden actives. No facade concentrations.”Minecla — Paris
Scientific Transparency & Dermo-cosmetics Made in France
At Minecla, dermo-cosmetics goes beyond an INCI list. It is applied as a formulation requirement: each active is selected for its skin bioavailability, clinically measured efficacy and tolerance on sensitive skin. The skin barrier is at the centre of every formulation decision — reinforcing without compromising is our first criterion. This is why the entire range is fragrance-free, free of denaturing alcohol and recognised endocrine disruptors.
“Twenty years in pharmacy taught me that patients read labels — and that 90% of cosmetic brands leave them without answers on real concentrations. We decided to do the opposite. Every Minecla active is dosed at the clinical efficacy threshold, not the marketing mention threshold.”
From Laboratory to Formula — How We Select Our Actives
- 01
Clinical literature review
Each active is validated on the basis of randomised double-blind studies published in peer-reviewed dermatology journals (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, British Journal of Dermatology).
- 02
Dosing at efficacy threshold
We don't dose to list. Niacinamide 10%, Azelaic Acid 10%, Retinol 0.5% (200K IU), Hyaluronic Acid 4.5% across 4 molecular weights: each concentration is the clinically proven threshold.
- 03
Bioavailability & penetration kinetics
Formulation determines bioavailability. Each emollient base is optimised for the active's cutaneous kinetics — a too-aqueous base can reduce retinol penetration by up to 60%.
- 04
Clinical tests & CPNP notification
Independent dermatological control tests, CPNP notification for each formula, complete PIF, full raw material traceability, REACH compliance.
- 01The essential, not the accessory
Four products, not forty. Each formula covers a specific, clinically validated skin need. No filler products.
- 02Full transparency
Active concentrations declared on every carton. Complete INCI. CPNP number displayed. What you read is exactly what you apply.
- 03Scientific rigour
Pure actives dosed at clinical efficacy thresholds. Bioavailability and skin barrier at the heart of every formulation decision.
- 04Made in France, full traceability
Formulated, manufactured and packaged in France. Every batch traced from raw material to bottle. REACH compliance, independent tests, complete PIF.
