Young and Pure, Founder & Managing Director
After nearly twenty years of researching a holistic lifestyle, because of her baby son\'s cancer, Lianne wanted to find a natural skincare range for her ten-year-old daughter. She could not find anything on the High Street, so she researched and developed her very own all natural range of skincare for teens and in 2006, young & pure was finally born. She wanted younger people to have a healthier option for their skin at a time when skincare gets important and so produced a product that she believed in. Less than two years later, young & pure is proving to be a huge success and has its own innovative ‘Chemical Checklist\' to tell the customer what "nasties to avoid". Now teens can then make informed decisions about the products they purchase.
