Description: Come learn how to make a variety of balms and salves that you can use for lip protection, deodorant, dry skin, skin healing, skin protection, and sore muscles (among other things!). The Falaha Center will host a hands-on workshop where we will learn to make both basic balms (harder) and basic salves (softer) from a few simple, natural ingredients. We will learn how to modify the basic recipes to support a wide variety of personal needs and preferences. These modifications include different herbs (infused into oil), butters, and essential oils. To take home, we will make one type of lip balm as a class, and you will customize a jar of salve with aromatherapy, learning about and choosing from among 6 essential oils. You will also take home recipes/detailed instruction, as well as information about herbal infusion of oils and aromatherapy.
Cost: $40 per person (includes $30 instruction fee + $10 materials fee)
