Do you like using luxurious bath products but wish they didn't contain synthetic preservatives & artificial ingredients (and cost a small fortune)? Learn to make your own (affordable) 100% natural bath salts & exfoliating scrubs in this fun, hands-on, 3-hour workshop.

First, you'll learn what herbal bath salts are, what goes into them, and how you can make them at home using all-natural ingredients. Learn about all the new/popular types of salt available today and what factors to consider when choosing which type(s) of salt to use. Then you'll customize your salts using pure essential oils for scent (like lavender citrus, cedarwood orange, or double-mint), dried herbs for texture, and clays or other botanicals ingredients for color.

Next, you'll make a wonderful salt body scrub that you can use in the shower or bath to exfoliate dead skin cells and soften your skin. When finished, you'll feel like you just stepped out of a five-star spa! Learn all about the different types, sizes and textures of salt to use in scrubs, the properties and shelf life of carrier oils, and which botanicals and other fun ingredients you can safely include. You'll customize your scrub with your favorite essential oil blend that enhances the exfoliating experience with aromatherapy, your choice of exfoliating agents, and herbs / clays for natural color. Popular combinations include Lemon Poppyseed, Peppermint Pumice, and Lime/Spearmint Mojito. Also, learn which antioxidants you can use to extend the shelf-life of your natural products.

Come and see how easy it is to make fabulous all-natural bath salts &
salt body scrubs for yourself and for gifts that will WOW your recipients!

You will leave this class with helpful handouts, Nova Studio tested recipes, an 8 oz. jar of bath salts and an 8 oz. jar of salt scrub - all created, made and packaged professionally (by you!) and ready to use or give away as gifts. This class uses only vegan / vegetarian ingredients (no animal products).
