Autumn Skincare - Perfumes, Soaps & Balms Workshop

Join Sarah Ward for a full day of scent creation and natural skincare crafting to nourish and moisturise as we head into the winter. Learn about the key benefits of natural ingredients and which ones are most suitable for your skin type, explore how we can use herbs and botanicals in our skincare and be guided through the traditional techniques used to create high quality products that work for you.

What To Expect
The day begins with the power of scent and how perfumers create the perfect blend, exploring the fragrance notes, essential oils and the warmer scents of Autumn/Winter, before creating a signature fragrance for your perfume oil, soap and body butter.

Using the finest quality plant based ingredients, botanicals and your signature scent you will learn the techniques of traditional cold soap making and take home a loaf of soap which will cut into approximately eight bars of loveliness.

In the afternoon, we explore how we can use herbs and botanicals in our skincare and the methods used to extract plant medicine for our products, crafting a skin repair salve and a light and deeply moisturising body butter incorporating your signature scent with a range of luxurious natural butters and oils to nurture and nourish your skin over the harsher winter months.

This all-day workshop is only £135 and includes all raw materials, equipment and a workbook of recipes and notes for you to take away. Please bring an apron, a beach towel, a shoebox and shopping bag to carry your makes home in.

This workshop takes place at Abbey House.
