A handmade soap and skincare business has won bronze at the Global Green Beauty Awards. 

Heather's Hands is based in Halbankgate, just outside of Brampton, and is owned by Heather Glouchkoff and produces handmade soaps and natural skincare products using essential oils and natural colourants. 

Heather founded her business in 2017 and has produced several popular products, including her Geranium and Patchouli shampoo bar which has now been internationally recognised. 

The shampoo bar won bronze in the Best Shampoo/Conditioner Bar at the fifth annual Global Green Beauty Awards after winners were announced on Friday, August 30.

After winning the award, Heather was on hand to express her delight. 

She said: "My passion is to produce products that are kind and gentle for your skin and it’s amazing to have their quality recognised after comparison to national and international brands."

The award is the second won by Heather's Hands after the local business received bronze for its Bergamot, Sweet Orange nad Ylang Body Butter in the 2023 Free From Skincare Awards.
