DIY Herbal Summer Skincare Workshop

Saturday, August 17, 2024

What you need to know

This summer, treat your skin to some home-made, chemical-free, herbal deliciousness! 🌿😍

Combining sun-kissed locally sourced organic herbs, organic oils & essential oils, the recipes you will get to know hands-on will not only restore your skin, but also your choice-power in deciding what goes into your skincare products moving forward!


We will be making 3 preparations as a group, notably: 

  • A soothing medicinal skin salve for poison ivy, insect bites & stings, sunburn and eczema - not to mention amazing moisturization for dry skin!
  • A buttery and creamy reef-friendly herbal sunscreen (20 SPF, containing zinc oxide) 
  • A chemical free essential-oil based insect repellent

And it doesn't end there! In this workshop, you will also learn: 

  • to recognize and prepare local medicinal plants for salve making (plantain, calendula & jewelweed) 
  • to identify poison ivy and other toxic plants to avoid
  • the two most popular ways to prepare a herbal salve 
  • what makes sunscreens and bug sprays harmful or healthy for our bodies & the environment
  • how great it smells to prepare all of these combined! 

Participants will receive an educational E-Book which will include recipes, medicinal herb plant profiles, toxic plant identification tips, and more! Cooling herbal refreshments will be provided. 

We kindly ask that you pre-register prior to August 16th at midnight to save your spot! This workshop is happening rain or shine, as it will be taking place inside one of our greenhouses. 

*Please note that ingredients for the salve and sunscreen are not vegan due to the use of organic beeswax.*

See you there, sun & forest bathers! 🌲
