Natural Skincare Workshop

Saturday 29th November 2025
Gaunts House Herbal Apothecary

Join us for a hands-on day learning how to create your own natural, organic skincare products. Guided by a fully qualified Medical Herbalist with over 24 years of experience (and a diploma in Natural Organic Skincare), you’ll discover how to make creams, butters and balms that are safe, effective, and nourishing for the skin.

What you’ll learn

• The difference between oil-based cosmetics (balms, salves, ointments) and water-based products (creams, lotions).

• How to use oils, waxes, butters, hydrosols, emulsifiers, preservatives, antioxidants and essential oils.

• Step-by-step methods to design and create your own handmade skincare.

What you’ll make

• Two cosmetic creams – a moisturiser and an anti-ageing cream (vegan).

• One body butter (vegan).

• Three lip balms – with the option of beeswax or a vegan alternative.

A full set of workshop notes will be provided, including detailed descriptions of all the ingredients used. No previous experience is required – everything is explained from the very beginning.
