05/15/25 All-Natural Apothecary Class with Fir Street Soap Company

Whether you are new to natural beauty and home products or are simply curious about sustainable products you can make in your home, please join us for a two-hour class to explore making beautiful products at home using essential oils, locally sourced beeswax, and ingredients you may already have in your pantry.

In this course we will cover the basics of blending your own essential oils, the differences between fragrance and essential oils, making sure usage rates are safe for whatever product you are making, as well as taking natural ingredients you likely have in your home or community to make beautiful, sustainable apothecary products that make great gifts for you or for those you love.  We will also discuss the different properties of common essential oils and which ones can be toxic to your furry friends.

What We Will Make:

• Coconut Milk Bath – soothing pink Himalayan salt and powdered coconut scented with floral essential oils to create a luxurious and relaxing bath.
• Beeswax Based Lotion Bar – Locally sourced beeswax, coconut oil and shea butter bar that is great for travel and activated by the heat of your body to dissolve into your skin and scented with vanilla & blood orange essential oils.
• Rosemary & Mint Room & Linen Spray – refreshing spray that can be used to scent your room or freshen your linens that is surprisingly easy to make.
• Lavender Infused Essential Oil Perfume Rollerball: Sweet almond oil and Vitamin E infused in lavender buds and scented with lemon, ylang ylang and sandalwood essential oils that will nourish your skin and calm your senses.
• Nourishing Chamomile, Eucalyptus, Lemon & Cedar Hand and Foot Salve – smooth and silky beeswax-based salve you can use to soften feet and dry hands.

This workshop is perfect for beginners and anyone interested in sustainable, toxin-free living. Come ready to get creative and leave with new skills for a healthier lifestyle!
