-a moisturizing herbal body cream
-a deeply nourishing and skin protective face cream
add $15 to class tuition to take home a sample of each
We’ll explore wider applications of these herbal preparations, including:
-how to make medicated creams for specific conditions like injuries, pain, or eczema
-how to extract CBDs and THC for medicated oils, creams & balms
-how to process fresh and dried herbs into herbal oils
