Summer in Victoria means sunshine, beach days, gardening, hiking, and spending more time outdoors. It also means dry skin, chapped lips, sun exposure, bug bites, and all the little skin irritations that come with an active season.
That's why we're excited to offer our Summer Salves Workshop in Victoria, BC—a fun, beginner-friendly experience where you'll learn how to create practical skincare products you'll actually use all summer long.
Whether you're curious about natural skincare, love DIY projects, or are simply looking for a unique activity in Victoria, this workshop is designed to be educational, creative, and incredibly useful.
What You'll Make
During this hands-on workshop, you'll create three summer essentials:
Lip Balm
Create your own custom lip balm using nourishing oils, beeswax, and your choice of scents. Perfect for keeping lips soft and protected during long days outdoors.
Everyday Salve
A versatile all-purpose balm that can be used on dry hands, rough elbows, cuticles, and other dry skin areas. This simple but effective product quickly becomes a staple in many households.
After-Sun Salve
Designed to soothe skin after time spent outdoors, this calming balm is a wonderful addition to your beach bag, camping gear, or summer skincare routine.
Each participant will leave with finished products ready to use at home.
No Experience Necessary
If you've never made skincare products before, you're in the right place.
Our Summer Salves Workshop is designed specifically for beginners. We'll guide you through each step of the process, explain the purpose of each ingredient, and show you how simple it can be to create high-quality skincare products from scratch.
You'll learn:
-
How salves and balms are formulated
