Learn how to make organic body scrubs and organic body balms in this fun and relaxing class! We will incorporate plants, including dried botanicals, nut and seed butters, plant oils, essential oils and discuss their healing properties. Attendees will receive reacipes and learn how to make more of these skincare products for themselves at home.
Come experience a connection with powerful, healing plants and learn how you can deepen your connection with them too. Marla Bosworth, who has been creating skincare products for 26 years, says this class is the perfect gentle pause in our busy lives that brings us together to create wellness products. Students find this class both soothing and therapeutic as well as educational!
Marla will share her own personal story of how her journey of working with plants began in childhood, as it does for many of us. Working with organic plant materials from the earth - albeit rich organic plant carrier oils/butters or wildcrafted or organic dried botanicals - and infusing them into healing skincare products for ourselves and others can be a "return to wholeness" that is much needed in the busyness of the outer world these days. Plants bring their healing energetic wisdom in addition to their physical healing properties to what we make with them.
This class is taught by Marla Bosworth of Back Porch Soap Company. She will share her expertise in formulating plant-based skincare products. You'll learn the essentials of formulating products made in class as well as the healing properties of plant carrier oils, herbs and wildcrafted botanicals.
