Handmade Bath & Body products can be surprisingly fun and simple to create. With a little guidance, a few good recipes, and the right tools you could be on your way to becoming a full fledged Mixer or Mixtress in no time. In this class you’ll learn to make three of the most fundamental Bath & Body products: Soap, Lip Balm, and Sugar Scrub. The basic recipes and instructions you’ll receive during this class are easily customizable, allowing you to create your own unique creations later on. We’ll also discuss some basic formulation issues including preservation, natural vs. synthetic ingredients, and using Essential Oils.
To complete your Bath & Body crash course we’ll discuss some issues that pertain to selling handmade cosmetic products including, safety labeling, shelf life, truth in labeling, and liability.
