More about Gemma

PUREMESS came about after a second breast cancer diagnosis in 2015. I have always had a healthy approach to life, eating well and exercising, and thought I used what I considered to be natural products. However, with a busy lifestyle and a family to look after I had never really taken the time to research what was actually in those products. Using my science background I decided to start formulating and making my own products, using only the finest natural ingredients I could find. And that's how it all started!
