Cremes selber machen - Naturkosmetik Workshop in Köln

In the organizer's words:

The emulsion in focus - making creams yourself

In this workshop we focus on the supreme discipline: The EMULSION. At 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, so that numerous raw materials must be purchased and a lot of background knowledge must be available. Don't worry. I have designed the course so that the production iseasy to understand. As few as possible, but effective raw materials are used. I teach you the necessary background knowledge and have designed high quality recipes (focused on skin physiology).

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

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

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

♥ Procedure

We look in a lively theory part on raw materials, processing, manufacturing methods, active ingredients, preservation as well as creams and their ingredients. You will learn how to make creams, gels and oil care and also put this knowledge into practice. The workshop is structured so that we approach the cream step by step, so that you understand all the components and can reliably internalize them. A fixed big break is not planned. There will be small break slots of about 10-15 minutes in between.

♥ Recipes

We start with making an oil care. Here we will make a regenerating night oil with the precious currant seed oil or wild rose oil. After that, we will mix a moisturizing hyaluronic gel. Afterwards, we will move on to making a cream (each*person always takes home their own product). You can adapt the cream to dry/mature, combination/oily skin and normal skin.

♥ No, thank you!

The recipes are all vegan or vegan feasible. No microplastics, no mineral oils, no palm oil, no silicones, no parabens. We work exclusively with native, cold-pressed vegetable oils in organic quality and natural raw materials and pure essential oils in organic quality.

Previous knowledge

The course can be attended by beginners as well as people with previous knowledge (such as from the basic course). I teach the structure of an emulsion from the beginning!
