Meet Our Founders

Years of Experience

Today’s consumers want skincare products that show results and are safe to use. This thought prompted the first of many discussions between Girish and Jessica to come up with a line of products that contained clinically proven ingredients. It was through a desire to provide consumers with products that are backed by published studies and have a balanced profile of safety and efficacy that The Purple Soul was born.

The Purple Soul’s ingredients are carefully sourced and formulated to provide optimum results. We have had years of experience conceptualizing skin care products for some of the top pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies for Indian as well as US markets.
