The Miraculous potions are potions that, when ingested by a kwami, can modify their powers and provide extra abilities to their Miraculous holders. The extra powers will only last for a single transformation.
The potions don’t have to be in liquid form, they can be contained in any vessel. The only thing that matters is that all of the ingredients are present.
When the transformation is activated, the holder gains the extra powers and a new suit with attributes that correspond to the extra abilities. When the holder is in this powered-up Miraculous form they detransform into their regular Miraculous form when they speak the detransformation phrase.

Recipes
The recipes for the potions are found within the grimoire. Kwamis are not permitted to know the recipe as a precaution should they ever fall into the hands of villains, and so that said villains cannot access the extra powers without the help of a Guardian.
In addition to the grimoire being written in the guardians secret alphabet, the ingredients of each recipe are written as codenames; for example, seaweed is written in the book as "a branch from the dragon king's garden", and "secret kept in a shell" is an oyster pearl. However, some ingredients are written as what they actually are: the ingredient “a tear of joy” is literally that.
A tear of joy is part of almost all the potions. Only some of the green potion's ingredients are given: seaweed, an oyster pearl, and a tear of joy.

Trivia
- It appears they can be used by all holders and kwamis, as Wayzz remembers tasting the green potion and Nooroo's insistence that he doesn't know the recipe, implying he's familiar with the potions.
- The potions for Tikki are mixed into macarons, called "magicarons", and those for Plagg into cheeses.
- Master Fu mentions dancing ant honeydew, water from the laughing fountain, melted snow from the mountain of jubilation, and drops of pure chocolate extract as possibilities for a "tear of joy".
- The Miraculous potions appear to be a reworked concept from the Pearls and Stones. At the NYCC 2016, the Ladybug Miraculous was revealed to have other magical abilities. These abilities seem to be related to objects known as the Stone of the Sun, the Stone of the Moon, the Pearl of the Sea, the Pearl of the Heart, and the Pearl of the Mysteries;[1] however, Thomas later confirmed on Twitter that the Pearls and Stones are a concept no longer intended to feature in the show.[2] The stones would have granted powers as follows:
| Pearl\Stone | Potion Color | Power and abilities | Pearl/StoneColor |
| Stone of the Sun | Unknown | Flying power | Yellow |
| Pearl of the Mysteries | Unknown | Infinite Lucky Charms | Lilac |
| Pearl of the Heart | Unknown | Cure the akumatized | Pinkish-Purple |
| Pearl of the Sea | Green | Breathe and swim underwater | Aqua |
| Stone of the Moon | Unknown | Fly and breathe in space | White |
- According to Lindalee Rose, the Miraculous power ups will return in Season 4.
- According to Marinette in "New Powers", one of the power ups gives a Miraculous holder space powers. Similarly like how the aqua potion replaced the Pearl of the Sea, this potion will likely replace the Stone of the Moon. But what color it will be is unknown.
- And like the aqua potion, it's likely this potion gives it users the same powers.
- Given that the aqua potion allows users to breathe and move underwater, the ice potion grants resistance to freezing temperatures and mobility in icy conditions, and the space potion which presumably allows users to endure and survive the vacuum of space, it seems the potions revolve around allowing users to survive different elemental/environmental conditions.
