Moderne Naturkosmetik selber machen: Basiskurs

In the organizer's words:

Sustainable beauty - make natural cosmetics yourself:

Make your own cosmetics - it's fun and all-around fulfilling! Making your own cosmetics can be a key to beautiful skin, increased well-being and higher appreciation for your own care. I'll teach you everything you need to know to get started & keep going.

You want to feel good about the care you give your body? You want to know how to make cosmetics yourself and what you need for it? Then my natural cosmetics workshop is the right place for you. In the workshop I will explain the right skin care, show you the most important raw materials for getting started in modern natural cosmetics and show you how to avoid typical sources of error in the production.

The focus is on skin health, your skin physiology and nature, not marketing and the cheapest possible raw materials. Together we dive into a beautiful world. All senses are addressed: We smell scents, we feel raw materials, we see how formulas mix. We spend precious moments with our friends.

The course will be funny, beautiful, colorful, lively! I am a humorous, creative person and no one who comes alone will feel lonely. My course is full of colorful happiness, own art illustrations and you will experience a lot of "AHA" moments, I promise! I have made it my goal to speak plainly. Therefore, you won't be making any anti-wrinkle creams, etc. with me.

• Duration: 3 hours
• Where: Braugasse 2b, 50859 Cologne (Check "Stilwald" on Google Maps)

We get started with a theory part of about 45 minutes. In the theory part we look at the skin, the skin structure and a resulting sensible skin care and what that means for your everyday life. Some myths will be uncovered and most importantly, plain talk! We'll look at manufacturing processes and you'll learn about the most important raw materials in natural cosmetics, including plant oils, waxes, butters and selected active ingredients. I show you what to consider when making at home and give you confidence for your production at home. Afterwards, you will make your own desired products. You can do this alone or together with your friends. You can make your own experiences.

What I offer you and what you get:

Four products you take home. You will have at least five products to choose from, so you can decide for yourself what you want to make. For example, you can choose from: cleansing gel, pouring lotion, beauty mask base, natural perfume/roll-on, toner , lip balm (varies by season and time of year).
