Soap & Lip Scrub Workshop from 12:00pm to 1:00pm
In this workshop, you will learn the basics of melt & pour soap. We’ll cover the basics such as selecting a soap base for your needs, colorants, fragrances and additives that will turn an ordinary bar of soap into a work of art! You’ll create three bars of soap to take with you. We’ll also create a fabulous lip scrub with ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen!

Bath Bomb Workshop from 1:30pm to 2:30pm
Love taking long, relaxing soaks in the tub? In this class, you’ll learn all the basics on creating a bath bomb fizzie that not only smells great, but is great for your skin too! We’ll create 3 bath fizzies that are scented and release moisturizing butters and oils into the bath water, surrounding your skin in pure moisture!

Whipped Foaming Sugar Scrub from 3:00pm to 4:00pm
Sugar scrubs are quite popular for not only their exfoliation benefits to the skin, but their luxurious moisturizing properties as well. In this class, we’ll take it one step further and create a whipped foaming sugar scrub that contains several types of sugars, fragrance and foaming bath butter with hydrating oils that will leave your skin not only clean, but luxuriously silky!

Whipped Body Butter from 4:00pm to 5:00pm
Body Butters are all the rage and in this class, we’ll take this super decadent body butter to the next level by whipping creamy butters and oils with fragrance to create a whipped body butter that you’ll swear is the best buttercream frosting but for your skin!
