Natural Skincare For Mother & Baby

Date: Saturday 13th of August and Sunday 14th of August
Time: 10:30am – 5:00pm
Fee: $375.00 (Inclusive of all materials, take home your creations)


This much requested two day workshop is specifically designed to show mothers how to create truly pure, unadulterated natural products for new babies, toddlers, young children and for “the mother to be”.
Many of the chemicals found in personal care and baby care products today, especially in New Zealand and Australia, have been banned in many other parts of the world. The importance of keeping our children chemical free, especially during their early formative years, cannot be stressed enough. Chemicals found in commonly used everyday household products often have profound effects on the tiny growing bodies of young children and babies, because they are much more susceptible than adults to toxins. (Toxic chemicals equal toxic bodies).

We will show you the best and safest herbs to use in your products, how to process and extract them and how to create uniquely pure and natural products for your family and yourself.
We will look at what makes children more susceptible to everyday chemicals and how best we can clean up our household environments to strengthen immunity and general health within our family.

You will create and take home full size products of:
• 1 Baby bottom cream
• 1 Cradle cap oil
• 1 Natural baby talcum powderBaby Herbal Products
• 1 Baby massage oil
• 1 Calming baby/child bath milk
• 1 Anti – colic oil
• 1 Baby/child hair shampoo
• 1 Baby/child hair conditioner
• 1 Eczema cream
• 1 Nipple cream
• 1 Belly butter
• 1 Stretch mark prevention cream
• 1 Varicose vein/haemorrhoid ointment

A total value of more than $250

During this fun workshop you will be shown how to not only eliminate the toxic chemicals from your home, but you will learn how cost effective it is to create your own childcare friendly products.

Your friends and family will be begging for you to make these beautiful products for their children also. Should you already be producing products for sale – these specific products will give you almost a complete range of children and “mothers to be” products.

Note: Please book early. Class numbers are strictly limited with places usually booked out early. Enrolment form and deposit required to secure your place.
