Winter Botanicals: Make Your Own Skincare Gifts
The Station, North Yorkshire, DL10 4LD
Tuesday 1st December 2026 6:00PM
In this evening session we will make natural creams and lip balms from botanical ingredients and essential oils. Working with natural oils, salts, butters and botanicals, you will choose from an array of beautiful natural scents and discover the secrets of crafting your own homemade botanical skincare collection. Together we will blend your very own rich hand and body cream, made from natural ingredients and essential oils and finish with creating a soothing balm. You will come away with enough to wrap and give, and one or two to keep back for yourself.

Your hosts:
Aimee and Alice lead these sessions together. Both started making their own natural skincare out of a desire to use fewer synthetic ingredients and work more closely with the natural world. They love sharing just how simple and satisfying it is to make by hand.
Good to know:
Everything we make is created by you for your own use or to give as a gift, rather than for sale. We recommend a small patch test before using your products and following the simple guidance we give you on the day. This evening is offered for enjoyment and learning and is not medical or dermatological advice.
