For GGLOW, receiving recognition at the Skylounge Awards 2024 was more than just an award moment, it was a reflection of the heart behind the brand.
At the prestigious event held at The H Dubai, GGLOW was recognised for Best Natural Product and achievements within Women Empowerment, celebrating not only the quality of the brand’s products, but also the values and purpose driving the business forward.
For founder Elsie Ocran, the recognition felt deeply personal.
GGLOW was never built simply to sell skincare. From the beginning, Elsie wanted to create something intentional, products rooted in quality ingredients, authentic care, and a message that encouraged people to feel confident and supported in their skin.
Over time, that vision naturally expanded into something bigger.
Through sourcing, storytelling, education, and community-building, GGLOW became a brand that also represented representation, empowerment, and opportunity, especially for women navigating business, wellness, and self-confidence in everyday life.
Winning within a category connected to women empowerment made the moment even more meaningful because it reflected the journey behind the scenes.
Like many founders, Elsie’s experience building GGLOW has come with challenges people rarely see, balancing creativity with business growth, learning through uncertainty, and staying committed to authenticity in a fast-moving industry.
There were moments of pressure, long hours, and difficult decisions, but also moments of growth, connection, and purpose that continued to push the brand forward.
Being recognised at an international platform like the Skylounge Awards created a moment to pause and reflect on how far GGLOW has come.
The award for Best Natural Product also reinforced one of the brand’s core principles: skincare should feel thoughtful, effective, and grounded in quality ingredients people can genuinely trust.
At GGLOW, products are not created around trends or unnecessary complexity. The focus has always remained on carefully selected ingredients, intentional routines, and creating skincare that fits naturally into people’s lives.
For Elsie and the GGLOW team, this recognition serves as encouragement to continue building with purpose ,not only creating products that support healthy skin, but also building a brand that inspires confidence, inclusion, and meaningful impact along the way.
Because for GGLOW, success has never been only about beauty.
It has always been about people, purpose, and the stories connected to both.
