Perfect for gifting yourself—or a friend—this festive season!
Step into a cozy, hands‑on morning with Beewell by Esther and discover how to make your own luxurious, skin‑nourishing balms. Whether you’re looking for a heartfelt, handmade gift or simply wanting to treat yourself, this workshop is the perfect way to slow down, get creative, and bring home something natural and beautiful.
Under Esther’s guidance, you’ll:
Learn about natural ingredients like beeswax, butters, oils, essential oils, and herbal infusions
Understand the properties and benefits of each ingredient
Customise your balm’s scent, texture, and use — from lip balm to multi-purpose skin salve
Blend, melt, pour, and label your creation to take home
Package it beautifully — ready to gift (or keep!)
At the end of the session, you’ll walk away with not just your own handcrafted balm(s) but also the knowledge and confidence to make more at home.
Participants will learn:
The chemistry and physics behind working with beeswax, oils, butters, and essential oils in balm-making.
How to foster a deeper connection with nature for mutual benefit—honouring both personal well-being and the vitality of the plants used.
Please bring:
A small cooking pot suitable for boiling water on a hotplate.
An apron (optional, but useful!)
Your curiosity and creativity — all other materials will be provided.
