Make your own invigorating coffee body scrub

Learn how to make an all-natural, invigorating body scrub featuring the rich aroma of coffee and ylang ylang essential oil. 

In this highly interactive mini-workshop, we will discuss the sustainability of commercial cosmetic products and consider how you can look to your pantry to find effective natural alternatives that support a healthy complexion.

We will demonstrate how to use the body scrub and offer suggestions on how you can customise it using ingredients you have on hand at home. No previous experience is needed - if you can mix using a bowl and a spoon then you can make this beautiful product!

Take away the product you've made and the confidence to make it again and again.

Making your own natural skincare products supports sustainability as it reduces plastic packaging waste and minimises excessive ingredient consumption.
