It began with one jar, for one face
Homely Hands was founded by Tanvi Puri in Zirakpur, Punjab. Before it was a brand, it was simply the cream she made for her own skin.
Tanvi made skincare creams for herself for almost three years before she ever sold one. Friends noticed and wanted to try them. Then their friends asked too.
The encouraging feedback, and a growing list of people waiting for the next batch, convinced her to share the creams more widely. Homely Hands officially launched on 9 February.
Most of our customers still find us the old-fashioned way: someone they trust tells them about us. Many batches are spoken for before they're made, which we think says more than any advertisement could.
The idea hasn't changed since the first jar. Understand the skin first, then make the cream. We don't want to sell you a jar once. We want you to become part of the Homely Hands family, and to keep talking to us as your skin changes.
