Making Herbal Salves and Lotions with Robin Mari

Learn the magic and science of making the freshest, highest quality skin care for yourself using herbal oils and infusions. Homemade salves and lotions are inexpensive, fun to make and tremendously helpful for healing burns, wounds, bites, and making your skin happy. We will go from the growing plants to finished products, and learn about the healing qualities of “weeds” that are most likely already in your own backyard. Natural preservatives, beneficial acid constituents and properties of various oils will be explained, which will guide you in formulating the best combinations for your needs. You will go home with samples of our creations, handout sheets with recipes, information from the class and a list of recommended books.
