Dread the dry, itchy skin of winter?
The obnoxious fragrances and unreadable ingredients of moisturizing lotions?
Want to moisturize and nourish your skin without feeling like you've been dunked in a tank of lard?

Come learn to make your own lotions, for yourself, your family, and as gifts. We'll use simple, natural, vegan ingredients like wax and flower waters. You'll choose enhancing ingredients like essential oils, cocoa butter, shea butter, and calendula oil to meet individual skin needs. You'll preserve with essential oils and grapefruit seed extract instead of formaldehyde (aka DMDM Hydantoin) and other harmful ingredients. Finally, we'll package and label your creations in beautiful cobalt blue jars, pump bottles ($1-3) or your own re-purposed containers. You'll come away with a lotion you've made, and skills that can serve you for a lifetime!
