Embrace the chill with glowing, healthy skin! In this hands-on workshop, you'll discover the art of creating nourishing skincare remedies using nature's most effective herbal ingredients. As the temperatures drop, your skin needs extra care, and we're here to show you how to provide it.
Each student will take home one 2oz Calendula Healing Balm for tackling winter's toughest dry patches, a 4oz personalized infused Botanical Body & Face Oil to soothe and repair cracked skin, and a 1 oz customized Face Mask to revitalize and restore winter skin.
Persons with allergies to other members of the Asteraceae family (such as Feverfew, Chamomile, or Echinacea species) should exercise caution with Calendula, as allergic cross-reactivity to Asteraceae plants is common. We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
Registration required for each class. Limited space available.
Class price includes all materials.

Meet Your Backyard Herbalist: Journey through Nature's Remedies
Hey y'all! I'm Alex, your friendly backyard Herbalist, with roots tracing from Verona, Italy, to the landscapes of New York, Hawaii, and now Utah. My multicultural upbringing, stemming from a Haitian mother and a Swiss father, has instilled in me a deep appreciation for diversity, nature, and herbalism.
Embracing the spirit of adventure, I'm often found relishing the outdoors or cruising on my bike, exploring the winding paths of Mother Nature's abundant gifts. My dream? To traverse the backroads of this beautiful country on my bike, absorbing the essence of each landscape. A nomad at heart, I once lived out of my car for two months, embarking on a soul-enriching journey from Hawaii to Utah. This escapade marked the first of four cross-country drives that have deepened my bond with the majestic mountains and the serenity of the natural world.
The genesis of Navire Apothecary sprouted from my personal journey with Epilepsy, a diagnosis that nudged me toward a healthier lifestyle at a tender age. At 11, I began understanding the importance of eliminating toxins, leading me to embrace a holistic approach. Today, I advocate for natural remedies, crafting artisanal soaps, skincare products, and candles with minimal scents to foster well-being. And, of course, I always emphasize the simple yet vital act: "Remember to drink some water!"
Join me on an educational voyage through botanical skincare classes, where we'll uncover the healing wonders of nature, explore herbal remedies, and embrace a lifestyle that harmonizes with our bodies and the environment. Together, let's cultivate wellness, one natural step at a time!
