Handmade Lotions & Creams
A class for the hobbyist who wants to make handcrafted lotions and creams for family & friends.
Learn to make safe effective lotions & creams using natural ingredients!
This course will teach you how to create your own lotions and creams from scratch.
You'll learn about:
- 40 oils and butters; their properties & benefits.
- 4 emulsifying options to suit your needs: extra easy, organic approved, or unprocessed.
- 24 herbs to infuse into oils, aloe, glycerin, or witch hazel.
- 34 essential oils & the benefits they bring to your lotions & creams.
- 17 preservative options {most are natural + a few traditional ones}.
- 9 basic formulas to use to create your own recipes.
I've also created a downloadable recipe booklet with 15 extra recipes created exclusively for this course.
Recipes include:
- Raspberry Seed Every Day Lotion
- MSM & Milk Thistle Lotion for Rosacea
- Zinc Oxide Cream (Vegan & Beeswax Versions)
- Cocoa Butter Stretch Mark Cream
- ACV & Pine Tar Lotion
- Dandelion & Honey Cream
- and more!
Also included is a bonus quick guide to waterless creams with formulas and recipe examples, plus a direct way to contact me via the comments section. Just leave a question for me below one of the lessons and videos, and I'll be happy to help you troubleshoot problems, or design your own lotion and cream recipes!
