We'll prepare Kawakawa and Calendula infusions, in oil phase and aqueous phase (water based) solutions. Thereby investing healing properties from the plant matter into our ingredients. Then we'll emulsify both oil and aqueous phases into a cream. With a plant-derived commercial preservative, you'll get a minimum of 3 months to use your 50g pot of cream. Everything is supplied in this class except for a 50g capacity pot. Jo encourages you to reuse an old one if you can. If you cannot bring one along, she will have them available to purchase for $3. Note: there will be some down time while we wait for our oils and waxes to melt, so Jo will bring published material on these herbs for an informal chat about them over a cuppa.
Kawakawa has been utilised by Tangata Whenua in traditional medicine, Rongoā. An Auckland University Study found it to be rich in compounds known for anti-inflammatory and pain-killing properties. Calendula is thought to assist with wound healing and to soothe irritated and dry skin.
Jo is a passionate plant-based skincare maker, mum, and enthusiastic packaging waste reducer. She has been creating skincare for the last 11 years in Otautahi, and wants to share some simple personal care and cosmetic recipes with you.
