InClinic Cosmetics founder and product developer, Josephine Carbone discusses mineral makeup, post-treatment skin and answering the calls of her clinic partners with Hannah Gay.

Josephine, I understand you founded InClinic Cosmetics while working at Clear Skincare Clinics. What were some of the problems your clients were facing with their regular makeup use post-treatment?

“I found that my clients were wearing makeup that was thick and extremely hard to remove before their treatment – and at the time, they seemed to be wearing the same three mainstream brands. I wanted my clients to achieve their desired skin results, so I researched the effect makeup can have on the skin as I was concerned their makeup was exacerbating their acne. I came across the condition of acne cosmetica, where certain chemicals in makeup can clog pores and cause inflammation. My clients were entering a vicious cycle of wanting to cover their breakouts with makeup which led to further breakouts and un-doing the progress we were making with advanced skin treatments.

I was determined to offer my clients a makeup option that was safe to use while undergoing treatments but, most importantly, was not reversing the results we were achieving in the clinic. For skin clients to receive the best results possible, they need to be treated full circle with specialised treatments, to a skincare regime and as the final step, a good-for-your-skin makeup.

I created Australia’s first pharmaceutical-grade Mineral Powder Foundation with active ingredients and the highest-quality minerals as a safer alternative to regular makeup post-treatment that helped my clients achieve their skin goals.” 

Why is mineral makeup often the preferred solution for skin therapists?

“Dermal, laser and skin therapists recommend mineral makeup as they can trust that it is a safe option for their clients post-treatment. Mineral makeup is the best choice for acne-prone skin and inflammatory skin conditions as it provides a lightweight and breathable layer of coverage without clogging pores or causing skin irritation. True mineral makeup uses high-quality minerals that are safe for all skin types, even those with the most sensitive skin, as the ingredients are gentler than the synthetic alternatives that traditional makeup contains.

I formulated InClinic Cosmetics to complement the clinical treatments and skincare offered by skin therapists. We have such strong loyalty from our clinic partners, as they know it is a safe option for their clients to use post-treatment. Our advanced formulations combine high-quality minerals with functional levels of active ingredients that are an extension of a client’s skincare regime, ensuring the healthiest skin.”
