Introduction to Making Organic Skincare: Christmas Special is an introductory workshop, which will provide an opportunity for you to develop and make your own organic skincare products, under the guidance of our experienced tutor. We will explore common themes in skincare ‘problems’ and look at different products to see how they can help to address these issues.

You will have the opportunity to explore different organic ingredients, learning about their particular characteristics, and choose from a range of products to make and take home.

Note: This workshop is our Christmas Special - making organic skincare products for family gifts.

Please note that we may use organic beeswax when we are making our products, so if you are vegan and would prefer not to use beeswax, please let us know, as we have alternatives we can use in our balms instead.

Some common causes of skincare issues;
How ingredients and products may alleviate some of the issues;
How to use some of these ingredients to develop and make skincare products for gifts;
