Mindera® Cin-H

This patented system combines two of nature’s most potent “cidal” compounds to create a multi-functional active for high-performance skincare. Cinnamal, isolated from cassia oil, provides rapid-onset antibacterial activity, while Hinokitiol (a natural monoterpenoid) offers deep antimicrobial penetration and potent anti-inflammatory effects.

Key Benefit: A “hero” active for acne-prone skin that simultaneously regulates sebum production, provides antioxidant protection, and inhibits blemish-causing bacteria.

Targeted Benefits for Problem Skin

  • Sebum Regulation: Clinically suited for oily and combination skin types to help mitigate the appearance of excess oil.
  • Antioxidant Protection: Provides a layer of oxidative stability, preventing the lipid peroxidation of sebum—a major trigger for acne inflammation.
  • Antibacterial Potency: Specifically effective against the bacterial strains that thrive in clogged pores.

The Mindera® Broad-Spectrum Strategy

While this blend is a powerful bacterial and fungal inhibitor, it is designed to be part of a broader “hurdle technology” approach for full product preservation.

  • The Core: Mindera® Cin-H (Targeted antibacterial, antifungal, and sebum control).
  • The Synergy Partner: Mindera® MA (Required for complete broad-spectrum protection across all organism categories).
