This Tuesday (3) in your ANBA Bulletin: The history of cosmetics company Hamman Soap. Businesswoman Claudia Mendes created artisanal soap, hydrating and exfoliating products after a trip to Marrakesh over two years ago, when she visited the Moroccan bathhouses, which inspired her products. An initiative supports businesswomen with online courses on exports. UK-based Prosperity Fund has opened registrations for two training courses on ecommerce, with a special focus on businesses led by women and other minority groups. And Petrobras managed to cut losses despite the insecure oil situation, and Grendene is going through a rebounding period as footwear stores reopen in Brazil and elsewhere. |

Back in Brazil, she established Hammam Soap to sell artisanal soap, hydrating and exfoliating products with aromas including rosemary, lavender and bergamot.
