Natural cosmetics day seminar in Cologne: 8-hour intensive course

Learn extensive knowledge for your homemade skincare routine in one day. At this day seminar for natural cosmetics in Cologne, I will teach you the necessary knowledge to be able to produce your own skincare in the future and thus become more and more independent of the cosmetics industry. 

What is the process?

• The seminar offers you a pleasant and invigorating transition between theory and practice
• We discuss the elementary areas of knowledge in theory and then put what has been discussed into practice
• My theory pieces are vividly designed and beautifully presented with my hand-drawn graphics
  • First, we will theoretically look at lipids, i.e. fats, their composition and the resulting skin care
  • We start with basic knowledge about skin, skin structure and what this means as a consequence for skin physiological care
  • We look at the composition of cosmetics and work our way through the individual manufacturing processes piece by piece.
• In practice, you can then gain experience, get to know raw materials and plants and try yourself out
  • We produce oil products and you will learn the unique manufacturing process for GREEN COSMETICS®
  • We then deal theoretically with water-containing products and produce various products from this category
  • Here too, there is a unique combination of traditional manufacturing processes and modern natural cosmetics
  • In the later part of the course, we will deal with the combination of fat and water, specifically with cream production
  • Some of the products manufactured in advance are already processed here, such as extracted herbal oil

In just one day, you will create your comprehensive body care routine and take valuable knowledge home with you. You get to know people who are also interested in nature, sustainability and a healthy lifestyle. In a group, it is especially fun to learn, exchange ideas and try things out.

That's what we make

• Seasonal medicinal herb oil with fresh herbs for the entire body + hair care
• lip balm — optionally with pigments
• Lemon/sage deodorant with either salt or baking soda or odex
• Seasonal tincture made from fresh plants (depending on the season)
• A gentle cleanser for face, body, hair, makeup
• facial toner with selected vitamins
• face and body cream (oil-water emulsion)

Depending on the season, we process dandelions, daisies, marigolds, walnuts, spruce, violets, rosemary, St. John's wort, lemon balm, mint, chickweed, apples, quinces, pumpkins, raspberries, blackberries, lemons, oranges, vanilla, etc...

Unfortunately, we will not be able to go on a herb hike. The fresh herbs are available in the workshop but are not collected.
