Local skincare product shortlisted

Beauty therapist, Tara Leader, launched her range of handmade natural skincare products under The Dartmoor Skincare Company brand a year ago in Yelverton, and already one of her products has been shortlisted for the FreeFrom Skincare Awards 2018. She went to London in July to attend the awards ceremony at the London Olympia and said: “I am so excited! I’ve gone from kitchen start-up to London awards ceremony in 12 months and can’t quite believe it!”

Tara began researching ingredients in baby care products when her young children suffered from eczema and discovered that avoiding sulphates, cured their skin flare-ups. Her hand and nail cream, with its blend of organic oils and citrus, was selected as one of the 200 products chosen from over 100 brands which made the shortlist of the seventh annual FreeFrom Skincare Awards. The Free From Skincare Awards were started in 2012 to encourage and reward manufacturers of skincare products that are ‘free from’ many of the allergens, ingredients, additives and artificial fragrances associated with skin sensitivities, health concerns, as well as ethical, personal and environmental issues.
