My name is Alison Gilead and I am the founder and sole proprietor of “Allison’s Hair & Skincare products” to which I produce a variety of handmade Natural Soaps, Skincare products, Lip balms, Scrubs and Hair products. We are a Licensed and Registered Business, operating in Glasgow Housing Scheme, East Bank Berbice, Guyana.
My inspiration for starting my business is my son, who was diagnosed with atopic eczema. As my first born, I was determine and very passionate in finding a treatment for him. Numerous disappointing sessions with Doctors forced me into looking for an alternative. Being the wife of a Beekeeper, I started right from my kitchen experimenting with Beewax, honey and bee propolis, the by-products of honeybees, to create a Salve. The treatment grew into a hobby after it’s result was amazing. It all stem from a need I had as a Mother, to help my son. After a decade, we have expanded our business and our goal is to have our products on every shelf within our customers hands. It is my intention to establish a well recognized business not just for my children and generations to come, but to create employment and facilitate community development.
