History

Established in 2000.

I began mixing all sorts of scents and fragrances together and found out in the process that many of the products on the market were filled with tons of chemicals, dyes and harsh abrasives that could potentially do damage to your skin over the long. Making body oils became a hobby and after trial and error, she came up with some good recipes. Encouragement by friends and family led her to try selling her recipes at a local festival, the response was overwhelming and from that day was the birth of «Pooka». Its all about providing products that not only smell good, but feel good on your skin… something good for your skin to eat as I like to call it. What I’ve created certainly isn’t anything that hasn’t been done before but the difference is that POOKA is not only a word it’s a way of life.

Business Owner

Dawn Fitch is the founder of Pooka Pure and Simple, a handmade bath and body company. She received her B.A. in design and worked for Sony Music for 6 years. After battling illness and feeling the need to adopt a healthier lifestyle, she began exploring holistic therapies and aromatherapy. While reading the labels on many of her cosmetic products and becoming increasingly aware of the dangerous chemicals in them, she began making and selling her own products. The response was tremendous. That’s when the realization hit that she had an incredible business idea and Pooka was born!

Along with her close friends and family, Donna Lynn, April Reeves-​Mathis and Tricia Akinwande, she formed Pooka Pure & Simple. The 4 Pookalitas manage every aspect of Pooka from sales and marketing to finance.

Creating products that were «good for your skin. In 2012 Dawn was featured on the cover of Black Enterprise Magazine!
