Natural Skincare and Wellness

NATURAL SKINCARE AND WELLNESS

The Term 2 Natural Skincare and Wellness workshops were inspired by crystals. Students made their own plant-based nourishing lip treatment, a foaming sugar scrub and a skin serum all from scratch. Emulsions were formulated to slowly blend water based and oil based ingredients together into a single product base. Soy wax candles and reed diffusers were a highlight for all students. Their personalised homewares ranges were a great success. Flash points of the essential oils into the soy wax were carefully measured and ingredients were blended with great care to ensure a professional quality product was made.

The final part of the design, formulate, create and marketing processes had students photograph products to present to the marketplace. The objective was met with sharp and sassy images captured to showcase everyone’s work.

“I thoroughly enjoyed this activity because I learned to make new things and grow my mind. I loved how each term we made something from a different theme. It also taught me science by mixing and making different solutions, creams and soaps as well as being creative and artistic.”

“I enjoyed the Natural Skincare and Wellness course as it allowed me to learn more about what is good for the skin and the body as well as helped me to be more confident about myself. My product highlight would be the foaming sugar scrub which left my skin so soft, and it smelled amazing.”

“I feel so thankful to have done this course. It was so fun and interesting. The whipped soap was one of my favourite products we made! It was so fluffy, light and like a huge soapy cloud.”
