Nothing hidden. Just honest ingredients

We believe that what goes into our products matters just as much as the results they deliver. That’s why every formulation we create is a minimum of 99% natural origin, crafted with carefully selected, naturally derived ingredients wherever possible. We’re committed to transparency and sustainability, choosing only the safest, most effective raw materials that are kind to both people and the planet.

Miniml

Natural vs Natural Origin

At Miniml, we believe in being open about what goes into our products. You’ll see us talk about both natural and natural origin ingredients. Here’s the difference:

Natural means ingredients taken directly from plants, minerals, or other naturally occurring sources with minimal processing.

Natural origin means ingredients that start from something natural but are gently processed to make them safer, more effective, or more stable in your everyday products. Both are rooted in nature – the distinction is simply in how much processing they go through before reaching your home.’
