What to expect
- These workshops are informal; however, you are asked to be ‘present’ for the smooth running of the workshop. We cover off a LOT in a relatively small amount of time.
- Mobile phones should be on silent or vibrate to allow the rest of the group to enjoy the workshop.
- We will make one product completely from "scratch".
- The other products will be supplied as a kit where you still get to make it, but the weighing has already been done. Without this step the workshop can go well over 6 hours which is prohibitive.

- Why you should make your own.
- Cosmetic industry: Claims, Ingredients and user perception
- Common Terminology, Safety
- Basic principles: Equipment, Sterilisation, PH Adjustment, Heating & Cooling, Storing Ingredients. Why some things go together and other not. Active efficacy. Organic skincare vs Natural skincare Cosmetic Industry: Claims and regulations – function over quality (including market perception)
- Which order to apply your skincare.
How it works:
- Surfactants etc.
- Treatments & Moisture (Humectants & Occlusives)
Practical – All activities guided
