About Puriste
Our Story
When Dermatologist Dr. Sylvia Garnis-Jones grew increasingly unimpressed with the 'miracle creams' and 'breakthrough ingredients' that have flooded the skincare industry for decades, the desire to bring skincare back to the basics arose and Puriste came to be. She recognized a skincare collection was needed that was not only highly effective, but unquestionably uncomplicated, gimmick-free, eco-friendly, and affordable - a line that was immune to skincare fads.
Since then, Puriste has been exclusively sold in Dr. Garnis-Jones' several medical spas. During that time, the line expanded into 14 skin-essential products. Each one fine-tuned based off of years of patient feedback. In 2017, alongside her daughter, Dr. Garnis-Jones decided to re-launch Puriste with a refreshed vision and a new lab in Vancouver, BC.
Today, our goal is to offer the best in clean, honest skincare that will simplify, heal, and enhance your life and our planet.
