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.  

We will cover the following

• 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

• Adjusting PH
• How to select your fragrance & essential oil blend
• Using the kit to make product 1
• Using the kit to make product 2
• Product 3.  Weighing out your formulation & follow manufacturing principals to make your third product.

Everything is included in this workshop. Take away three unique skin-care products.
