Easy to find

Every plant is on the tea shelf

Chamomile, calendula, lavender, rosemary, rose and rosehip. They are all sold as tea in an ordinary shop. The rest is simple too: shea butter, beeswax, a good oil, baking soda.

The bench talks you through it

Each make has its own bench, with photographs and a calm voice that leads you step by step. You do not need to touch the screen. Say "next" with your hands in the butter, and the bench moves on with you.

The voice speaks your language.

Cosmetics with purpose

I do not want you to make pretty jars that do nothing. Every plant in this course is chosen for what it does for the body: it calms, it softens, it protects, it helps you rest. In each chapter I tell you why, so you know what you are putting on your skin and what it will do for you.

How it works

At your own pace

  • Free with a code. A card from a shop or a code from a friend opens the course.
  • Your own pace. There is no deadline. Start today or next month.
  • Five chapters. One plant and one make in each.
  • One Thursday evening class. You are invited once, to see how the school works from the inside.
  • A gift when you finish. A personal gift toward the full programme waits for you after the fifth make.

Who this is for

Made for hands that like to make

For women who love making things with their own hands.

For beauty therapists and salon owners who want to give their clients an extra dimension.
