After Margo's brilliant sell out DIY cleaning products workshops, I'm very excited to welcome her back and am looking forward to her teaching us DIY personal care.
Everyday body care products can be full of chemicals and toxins that are potentially harmful to your body. Come and find out how to replace these with natural, more effective and inexpensive alternatives. Learn how to use natural ingredients and Therapeutic Grade essential oils to make your own body care products that only smell amazing, but can help you to relax, reduce stress and improve your quality of sleep.

How to make toothpaste, conditioner, deodorant, bath bombs and more using essential oils and other everyday natural products such as bicarbonate of soda, vinegar, aloe vera gel, vegetable Glycerine, beeswax pellets, Epsom salts and castile soap.
You will make and take away:
A deodorant
Bath salts (with the option to decorate as a gift)
You will also take away some Wild Orange essential oil.

Why not buy new clothes?
Did you know that the textile and fashion production:
- Consumes lake-sized volumes of fresh water
- Contributes more to climate change than aviation and shipping combined
- Exploits countries with little trade union representation and weak environmental protection
- Exploits child labour, forced labour, prison labour and bonded labour
(Information from UK Parliament's inquiry Sustainability of the Fashion Industry)
