Puure GOTS-certified organic cotton underwear — soft, non-toxic, and responsibly sourced
“Every woman deserves to know what’s touching her body — and to trust that it’s safe.”
Christina Phillips, Founder & CEO

Mission

To make toxin-free, organic intimate apparel accessible to every woman so that comfort, health, and sustainability are never things she has to choose between.


Vision

A future where “organic” isn’t a premium niche but the industry standard, where every woman can trust that what touches her body is safe, by default.

The founder

Built from a deeply personal mission.

Christina M. Phillips, a native New Yorker of Caribbean descent, founded Puure after watching the women in her family battle fibroids a struggle she later faced herself. Her own diagnosis became a turning point: an investigation into the environmental causes of reproductive health issues and the role toxic chemicals in everyday products play in them.

With over 15 years in manufacturing and retail, and as a former co-founder of the women’s clothing line Marie + Annette, Christina built Puure to give women a safer alternative, one grounded in transparency rather than marketing.

“My diagnosis wasn’t the end of the story. It was the beginning of Puure.”
Christina Phillips, Founder & CEO

The problem

What is your underwear hiding?

Conventional intimate apparel is manufactured with chemicals you’d never knowingly put against your skin, pesticide residues, formaldehyde, phthalates, PFAS, parabens, and synthetic dyes linked to hormone disruption, reproductive issues, and cancer risk.

Because this fabric sits against some of the most absorbent skin on the body for hours every day, the exposure is high and largely invisible to the women wearing it.

Is it safe for the woman wearing it?

5% Spandex for Comfort and Fit

A minimal spandex blend gives our underwear stretch, shape retention, and all-day comfort — without compromising the purity of the fabric. We keep it at 5% intentionally: just enough to move with your body, not enough to change what the garment is made of.

The result: underwear that feels as good as it is clean.
