Tuesday, September 24th | 6 PM | Our Lady of the Snows | $10 | Sign-up Required
Immerse yourself in the world of natural beauty and healing. Discover the power of plant-based ingredients, learn formulation techniques, and gain hands-on experience in creating personalized skincare products. Elevate your skincare routine with the wisdom of nature.
Each student will take home one 2oz Calendula Healing Balm and a 4oz personalized infused botanical oil. Persons with allergies to other members of the Asteraceae family (such as Feverfew, Chamomile, or Echinacea species) should exercise caution with Calendula, as allergic cross-reactivity to Asteraceae plants is common. We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
