PURE MAMA FOUNDER AND MAMA OF TWO - Lara Christie
"When I fell pregnant I was really surprised by the lack of pregnancy-specific body products available, especially as our skin changes so much during this time and needs extra support.
I wanted to create a product range that harnessed the powerful, natural ingredients often used in facial skincare, such as Pomegranate and Raspberry Seed Oil, and concentrated levels of Vitamin E, which are miracle workers for skin hydration, elasticity and restoring skin. We then married these with tried and trusted base blends of Coconut and Almond oils to create a new, more nourishing range of skincare for pregnant woman and nursing mothers.
Our team is leading a mission to provide the absolute highest calibre of naturally derived skincare matched with the needs of pregnant woman and new mothers. Ultimately delivering targeted, deeply nourishing and high-quality products to support women on their pregnancy journey."
Our Story

"My intention is not only to support women on their journey with skincare they can trust, but to encourage women to take a moment to connect with their bodies throughout their pregnancy journey."

OUR RESEARCH
PROVEN, NATURAL, PURPOSEFUL
Finding our unique and powerful blends didn’t happen overnight. We reviewed almost every similar product and brought on board a leading NZ Biotechnologist and a Senior Cosmetic Chemist to help develop specific and unique formulas for pregnant women.
We assessed everything from ingredient properties, benefits, skin compatibility, texture, absorption, shelf life and fragrance. It took close to two years to develop our unique blends and we pride ourselves on knowing that our products provide deep nourishment for Mamas.
We also talked to Mamas, a lot of Mamas. Over 2000 in fact. We asked what worked, what didn’t, what they would like, and more. This was pivotal in the development of our range and we thank every wonderful woman who contributed to this research.
