Healthy Sunscreens & (Don’t) Bite Me

New Directions Aromatics invites you to an afternoon of fun and learning! https://www.newdirectionsaromatics.ca/workshop.php

In this six hour workshop, you will learn to use some of our great all-natural offerings to make your very own creations!

The issues: Regular exposure to the sun lets your skin adapt to defend itself against harmful rays, all the while making vitamin D. So tanning is a healthy response, and those who get regular exposure to the sun lower their skin cancer risk. Burning is absolutely not healthy – it clearly increases your risk of deadly skin cancer. So what to do?...

The toxins in your average insect repellant are far worse than the bites in the long run. DEET, permethrin and other common insect repellants are actually insecticides that you put directly on your skin! Added to these "chemical name" ingredients are the usual toxins found in lotions and creams: parabens and so forth, adding cancer risk to the potential for neurological damage. If it can kill a bug, it can harm you. So what to do?...

During this fun-filled day, Tracey will teach you how to make a variety of luxurious sunscreens and bug repellent products that are safe for you and your loved ones.
