Purepotions was founded after Natalie Balmond had to search to find a safe and effective way to improve her daughter’s severe, debilitating eczema. Her baby’s skin was sore and bleeding and most of the time she was wrapped from head to toe in bandages. For almost a year she searched for and tried out eczema treatments both conventional and alternative, and nothing worked. Finally she took matters into her own hands and formulated her own salve, made from a blend of special herbs and oils, which resulted in astoundingly dramatic improvement to her daughter’s skin. After a newspaper story about her discovery, Natalie was inundated by requests from other eczema suffers and, as the overwhelming need for this kind of product became apparent, Purepotions the business was born..She called her product SKIN SALVATION and the product is now stocked in retail outlets across the uk and on the web. Allied Powers has backed this business to help with the ongoing development of the brand and capital raising to enable the company to penetrate the international market.
