Pura Nordica Oy

What they make

According to their website, Pura Nordica is a small Finnish natural-cosmetics maker based in a workshop in Puhos, Kitee, North Karelia, founded by Nina Kekäläinen, who trained as a natural-product processor after a background in research, healthcare and education. Products are made by hand in small batches and formulated without added essential oils, which the company positions as suitable for sensitive skin. Herbal raw materials come from Finnish nature, the founder's own garden, and regional organic farms. The cosmetics range centers on two facial creams — one with Rhodiola rosea (arctic root) for dry and atopic skin, another with Bergenia for couperosa-prone skin — plus a Rhodiola rosea facial toner and free samples. The company also runs courses on cosmetics-making, natural cleaning products, wild-herb foraging and peat treatments, and sells items made by other Finnish small producers. Packaging is recyclable, production is described as solar-powered, and the site displays Finland's Avainlippu (Key Flag) domestic-origin mark.
