Founded in the early 20th century by Portuguese pharmacist Eduardo Augusto Gonçalves, Minancora is one of Brazil’s most iconic and enduring pharmaceutical brands. After arriving in Brazil and being inspired by the country’s vast biodiversity, Gonçalves developed a proprietary formula that would eventually become a staple in Brazilian households for over a century. From its humble beginnings as an artisanal preparation to its registration with the National Public Health Department, the brand has maintained a legacy of trust, reliability, and skin health.
