DIY Personal Care Items

Whether you’re looking to save money, be more environmentally friendly or use less chemicals in your daily regimen knowing how to make your own personal care items can help you achieve all of these goals! We know it can be overwhelming to know where to start or what products work best in which applications. We’re here to help!

In this class, host Samantha Lee from Global Arts Therapy will demonstrate how to make three personal care products Lip balm, Foot cream and Pain Salve. She will go through the ingredients used (all vegan, including no beeswax) and steps to successfuly make these items. We’ll be using almond oil, coconut oil, and avocado oil!

You’ll be able to take home samples of each of the products. Please bring small containers to transport the samples home. Think outside of the box to keep this event zero waste, there’s no need to buy new containers. Maybe you have a leftover tin from some mints, some small food jars or mason jars… if nothing else bring an ice cube tray!

This event is cohosted by VegLife Des Moines and Global Arts Therapy. Tickets are $25/person at Eventbrite.
