Balm Diggity: Crafting Herbal Oils, Salves & Balms

Soothe it. Rub it. Heal it. Herbal body care starts here.

Ready to turn simple oils into skin-loving, healing magic? In this hands-on class, we’ll dive deep into the world of lipid infusions and learn how to transform them into salves and balms that nourish, protect, and repair. You'll discover multiple methods for infusing herbs into oils, how to choose the best oils or butters for your intended use, and the pros and cons of different waxes—from beeswax to plant-based alternatives.

Whether you’re making a first-aid salve, a luxurious balm, or a hardworking hand butter, this class gives you the know-how to match your ingredients to your needs. Students will leave with their own handcrafted product, plus recipes, instructions, and handouts to keep the learning going at home. Let’s get greasy—in a good way!
