Making Creams and Lotions for Hand-made Holiday Gifts
Greg Allen

Join herb farmer and herbalist Henrietta Cummings for a hands-on workshop where we will make small batches of face and body creams. You’ll have cream to carry home and the experience to repeat at home for hand-made holiday gifts. We will cover various base oils and the benefits of each, some essential oil(s) to choose for the purpose of an individual cream. We will also cover two ways to make your own flower water other than the method of distilling to make hydrosols. You will learn Rosemary Gladstar’s “perfect cream” recipe that provides the right amounts of oils to waters to make a luscious cream every time from your choice of oils, hydrosols or flower waters, and essential oils.
