Pure Skin Health was founded by Sommer Shiels — a health journalist and documentary director who has spent close to twenty years covering medical science and longevity, and who also directs Pure Skin Labs, a cosmeceutical manufacturer that has formulated skincare for doctors and clinics for over 15 years.
That combination — years spent asking clinicians and researchers what actually works, paired with a lab that already builds for them — is what shaped Sommer Skin, and later PureSkinLabs and our Telehealth program.
Before Pure Skin Health, Sommer's work sat at the intersection of journalism and health science — years spent interviewing researchers and clinicians about what genuinely moves the needle on skin and aging, long before it became a brand.
A cosmeceutical manufacturing lab built to formulate professional-grade skincare for doctors and leading clinics — the same lab that would later become the backbone of our own product lines.
Sommer builds a career as a health journalist and documentary director, reporting on medical science and longevity — work that continues to inform how our brands are formulated and communicated.
The Curcumin Mask is created to bring a clinic-grade active formula — Ayurvedic ingredients paired with modern cosmeceutical technology — into an at-home ritual.
Sommer Skin, the PureSkinLabs GHK-Cu system, and our licensed Telehealth program join under one roof — one place for products and care, built on the same standard.
Sommer's approach has always been to go to the source — cosmeceutical labs and the clinicians they supply — rather than chase whatever's trending. That's why our line stays narrow: a small number of well-studied actives, done properly, instead of a routine with more steps than answers.
