Why Make Your Own Creams?
Because it feels great! Drying off after a shower and reaching for a jar of the Moisturizing Cream that you made simply feels wonderful and deeply satisfying. “And for much less than if I’d bought it,” you may find yourself saying when you tell friends how easy and fun it is.
How valuable is it to you to know what goes on your skin? or your kids? and in your body? When you make it yourself, you have clarity and confidence about what ingredients to use. Many commercial creams and cosmetics have questionable or even toxic ingredients.
Description…
Both classes are hands-on, active classes. Because busy hands have more fun, learn better, retain more, ask better questions and build more confidence. Participants will be in small groups of 3-4 per work station.
In Creams for Beginners, we’ll go through the step by step process of making a simple cream from start to finish. The aim is that everyone leaves with 2 things: the confidence to do it again on their own and the recipe. We talk about how to choose the right oils, tools, essential oils and herbs.
In Advanced Creams, we’ll explore a couple recipes that tend to be more challenging. We’ll introduce some new ingredients that really add some frill to a cream. This is where more options open up for making medicinally creams and lotions. Creams can tone skin to reduce wrinkles, treat varicose veins from a face toning cream to a hemorrhoid cream to a cream for athlete’s foot.
