[19 Apr 2001]

A popular Sri Lankan beautician Janet Balasooriya, who heads a leading Herbal and Ayurvedic Cosmetic Company, won the Gold award and was named the Woman Entrepreneur of the year 2000.

Ms Balasooriya was honoured at the Inaugural SAARC Entrepreneurs Council Conference for her outstanding entrepreneurial achievements. Her cosmetics company specialises in Ayurveda and Herbal beauty care.

The popular Sri Lankan made 'Janet' Ayurvedic and Herbal Cosmetic products have dominated the local cosmetic market, as there is a tendency to rely on Ayurvedic treatment more than ever before among the beauty conscious. 

The Ayurvedic Cosmetics brand named 'Janet' are exported to Australia, France, Dubai, and Maldives. The company plans on moving into the Indian and Pakistani markets soon. 

" We are also looking at making the best use of the concessions made available to Sri Lankan exporters under the Indo Lanka Free Trade agreement. We have already soft launched our Ayurvedic cosmetic products in India last month," said  Ms Janet Balasooriya.
