Charlestown Business Wins Best Of Boston Award

CHARLESTOWN, MA — Boston Magazine awarded Organic Bath Co. in Charlestown with the “Best Locally Made Hand Sanitizer” award, citing its vegan, cruelty-free formula and pleasant-smelling blend of essential oils.

Each year the magazine has its team of judges scour the area in search of businesses that qualify for the superlatives.

Gianne Doherty and Jay Weeks founded Organic Bath Co. in 2014 after Doherty had a serious reaction to her usual, favorite beauty products. Weeks used all natural ingredients to whip up some safer alternatives and it was a hit.

Here's what the judges had to say about Organic Bath Co:

Who knew that 2020 would be the year of the hand sanitizer? It seems like every beauty company and alcohol distillery has entered the category in recent months, but Charlestown-based Organic Bath Co.’s 2-ounce spray bottles are the clear winner. With a hint of glycerin to keep hands soft and essential oils such as lavender and Moroccan rose, this vegan, cruelty-free formula keeps germs at bay without smelling like a hospital room.http://www.organicbath.co
