Learn how to make simple, low-cost moisturising creams, made from all natural ingredients and adaptable to your skin type that work for people and don't cost the planet. Whether you're a skincare enthusiast, simply curious about natural skincare, or keen to reduce waste and packaging in your household, then this workshop is for you!
Join Sarah McFadden at Kelmarna Community Farm for this intro in making your own moisturising creams. The workshop will give you the materials and know-how to start making them yourself at home and the confidence to explore tailoring recipes to suit your skin type.
What to expect:
The first portion of this session will introduce the pitfalls of mainstream cosmetics, including harmful chemicals, packaging & plastic waste, and unethical sourcing practices. You’ll then learn the power of natural ingredients, as well as what to use for different skin types and conditions, and where to source these ingredients.
A good moisturiser is a must-have for our skin, so this workshop focuses on how to craft two different versions of moisturiser, one for more oily/combination skin, and one for more dry/mature skin types. We focus on simple recipes that don’t require a lot of different ingredients and are easy to replicate at home.
You’ll observe the creation of two cream recipes, and get your own to take home and start using.
Tickets include:
Theoretical and practical instruction, two finished creams to take home, a handout with instructions and recipes, and an aloe vera leaf for you to use at home for your next making session.
