Cremes selber machen - Naturkosmetik Workshop in Köln

In the organizer's words:

Focus on the emulsion - making your own creams

In this workshop, we will concentrate on the supreme discipline: EMULSION. By the end, you will be able to make your own water/oil-based face/body cream! I will show you typical sources of error, take away all your worries and show you all the tips and tricks so that nothing goes wrong in the future.

Modern natural cosmetics can be very complex, requiring the purchase of numerous raw materials and a great deal of background knowledge. But don't worry! I have designed the course so that the production process iseasy to understand. As few but effective raw materials as possible are used. I teach you the necessary background knowledge and have designed high-quality recipes (geared towards skin physiology).

***NEW*** I focus on skin-physiological lecithin-based emulsifiers and reduce the use of classic emulsifiers to a minimum. I therefore place great importance on skin health without a wash-out effect!

My workshops are characterized by a lot of humour, cheerfulness and warm-heartedness! I live this as a person with full passion.

Number of participants: 4 - 8 people
Duration: 4 hours

♥ Procedure

In a lively theoretical part, we look at raw materials, processing, production methods, active ingredients, preservation and creams and their ingredients. You will learn how to make creams, emulsions and gels and put this knowledge into practice. The workshop is structured in such a way that we approach the cream step by step so that you understand all the components and can reliably internalize them. There is no fixed long break. There are small break slots of approx. 10-15 minutes in between.

♥ Recipes

The focus is on creams. You will make your own cream in the workshop and learn how to adapt it to your needs. You will learn the five most important elements of a cream and how they work together.

You take with you: We stir different creams as well as preliminary stages of emulsions, be surprised!
