The Story Behind Pūraka
Skincare made with
real knowledge.
Pūraka means inhale in Sanskrit. That sense of calm, intention, and breath runs through everything we do.
Meet Melissa
Twenty years of knowledge.
One skincare range.
"
My name is Melissa Foreman. I'm a homeopath and naturopath, and I've spent over 20 years working in natural health — helping people find balance through ingredients, knowledge, and care.
I created Pūraka because I couldn't find a skincare range I truly believed in. Everything I looked at was filled with synthetic fillers, empty claims, and ingredients that had no real purpose. So I made my own.
Every product in the Pūraka range is formulated by me, based on what I know works. Not what looks good on a label. Nothing in here is by accident.

The Ingredient That Sets Us Apart
Homeopathic tissue salts — in every product.
Tissue salts were developed by Dr. Wilhelm Heinrich Schuessler in 19th century Germany. They are 12 minerals, prepared homeopathically, that the human body needs to repair and maintain itself.
Melissa has selected specific tissue salts for their skin benefits — some act as a skin cleanser, others encourage moisture balance, and others support tissue restoration.
No other skincare brand incorporates tissue salts. This is what makes Pūraka different — and it's the reason Melissa spent 20 years waiting before she found an approach she believed in enough to bring to market.
Twelve minerals, prepared homeopathically, were selected by Melissa for their specific skin benefits. Found in every Pūraka product. Found nowhere else.
What Pūraka Stands For
Three pillars. No compromises.
All Natural
Every ingredient has a purpose. Nothing synthetic, no petrochemicals, no animal products. 100% natural, cruelty-free, and vegan.
Made with Care
Melissa formulates and makes every product herself. That level of personal involvement isn't scalable — and that's the point.
Sustainable Packaging
Amber glass bottles and jars. Recyclable, reusable, and a reflection of the brand's values from the outside in.
