Meet the Founder
Pure Temple is the creation of Donna Zakura—a mother of three, fusion dance artist, movement teacher and lifelong explorer of ancient cultures, ritual and botanical beauty.
For over two decades, Donna has travelled, studied and immersed herself in movement traditions inspired by Egypt, India and the Middle East. Through dance, she discovered that ritual is not something reserved for temples or ceremonies—it can be found in the quiet moments of everyday life. Applying a fragrant oil, breathing deeply before the day begins or taking a moment to care for your skin can become an act of presence and self-devotion.
Alongside her passion for movement, Donna has studied Herbalism, Natural Skincare Formulation and Perfumery, combining traditional botanical knowledge with modern formulation techniques. She is especially passionate about natural perfumery and the way botanical aromas can enrich wellbeing through the power of scent. To Donna, fragrance is more than something that smells beautiful—it has the ability to create moments of calm, evoke emotion and transform an everyday routine into a meaningful ritual.
As a 45-year-old woman and mother, Donna wanted to create products she genuinely wanted to use herself—formulations that deeply nourish the skin, support hydration, improve the appearance of skin texture and celebrate healthy, radiant skin at every stage of life. Every ingredient is thoughtfully chosen not only for its botanical benefits, but also for the sensory experience it creates.
This philosophy became the foundation of Pure Temple.
Every product is inspired by ancient traditions that honoured the body through botanical oils, natural perfumes and sacred aromatics. While these rituals have evolved over thousands of years, their essence remains the same: to slow down, reconnect and create beauty with intention.
Pure Temple brings these timeless inspirations into the modern world through handcrafted skincare, botanical perfumes, body oils, teas and self-care rituals designed to nourish both body and spirit.
For Donna, beauty is more than what we place on our skin. It is an experience that engages all the senses—the silky feel of luxurious botanical oils, the aroma of natural perfumes, the warmth of a cup of herbal tea and the quiet moments of self-care that become part of each day.
She believes in slow beauty—the idea that beauty isn't about rushing through a routine, but about creating moments of presence. Whether applying a facial serum, anointing the body with botanical oils or wearing a natural perfume, these small rituals invite us to slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with ourselves.
Welcome to Pure Temple — where beauty becomes ritual.
