0Meet Clare Eluka
Managing Director
Premae Skincare
Premae Skincare is the world’s first allergy-free, candida-free, botanical based luxury skincare brand.
Founded by Clare Eluka in July 2011, the London based company currently employs a team of five.
The need for allergen-free cosmeceuticals was established first-hand by Clare as a result of her personal struggle with Candida Albican, a wheat, dairy, sugar and gluten intolerance.
Clare’s seven year search for a cure led her on research journeys around the world, which revealed the huge gap in the market for allergen free skincare.
Premae Skincare operates a strict disciplinary approach to production and manufacturing with 100% vegan and natural and unrefined ingredients.
