Learn to formulate your own luxurious cleansing balms in this hands-on, science-based natural skincare workshop. You will create two complementary products: a nourishing cleansing balm that melts away makeup and impurities, and an exfoliating balm that polishes and brightens without stripping the skin.

This workshop is suitable for complete beginners and skincare enthusiasts alike. You’ll explore how butters, oils, waxes and gentle exfoliants work together to create textures, slip, cleansing action and rinse-off performance — the same principles used in premium skincare brands.

You’ll leave with your own dual cleansing system, beautifully jarred and ready to use or gift, along with the formulation knowledge needed to recreate them at home.
