This three hour workshop by request combines my Lotions, Potions and Creams workshop, where we'll make shea butter and cocoa butter lotion, SPF 15, from scratch, with my Safe Sun Protection Cream with zinc SPF 30 Workshop. You'll not only learn how to make a basic white lotion from scratch, but also how to protect yourself and your loved ones, no matter how young, from harmful sun rays, while still making and storing essential vitamine D.

You'll leave with 170ml metal pump bottle or jar of shea lotion, a 170ml pump bottle or jar of cocoa butter lotion and a 120ml jar of sun protection cream - a $38 value!!!

I'm a new mom and the recent news about the potential dangers of sunscreens on children scared me. Luckily, I've taken Tracy's course on natural sunscreens and now have safe sunscreen I can use on my daughter.

Take care,

Lynn

What a wonderful class this was. You, Tracey are just fantastic. I was entranced listening to you and appreciated the fact that you took time to answer questions and explain the whys and wherefores as we continued. Thank you.

I have always been interested in potions, creams, lotions, I loved the course today. I can hardly wait to learn more, and am looking forward to more classes with you.

I wonder why I have not met you before this. Everything in it's own time. Once again, thank you. I will be in touch when I return to Canada.

Make Lotions, Potions and Creams

Dread dry, itchy skin? The obnoxious fragrances and unreadable ingredients of moisturizing lotions? Want to moisturize and nourish your skin without feeling like you've been dunked in a tank of lard? Come learn to make your own lotions, for yourself, your family, and as gifts. We'll use simple, natural, vegan ingredients like wax and flower waters. You'll chose enhancing ingredients like essential oils, cocoa butter, shea butter, and calendula oil to meet individual skin needs. You'll preserve with essential oils and grapefruit seed extract instead of formaldehyde (aka DMDM Hydantoin) and other harmful ingredients. You'll come away with lotion you've made, and skills that can serve you for a lifetime for a fraction of the cost of a commercial moisturizer!

Stop Sunburn Non Toxically

What's worse? The sun, or the toxins in the sunscreens? It's not an either/or situation. Regular exposure to the sun lets your skin adapt to defend itself against harmful rays, all the while making vitamin D. So tanning is a healthy response, and those who get regular exposure to the sun lower their skin cancer risk. Burning is absolutely not healthy – it clearly increases your risk of deadly skin cancer. So what to do? You'll learn everything you need to know to stay safe and select safe products for you and your loved ones.

This workshop also suits professionals and people who want to teach about healthy sun exposure and sunscreens.
