HERB-0203 - Crafting Artisanal Herbal Infused Massage Lotions

Creation of Plant-Powered Lotions for Professional Bodywork, Spa, and Holistic Skincare

This one-day, hands-on course guides students through the art and science of crafting luxurious, therapeutic, herb-infused massage lotions from scratch. Working with botanical oils, hydrosols, and emulsifiers, students will learn to blend water- and oil-based ingredients into stable, skin-nourishing emulsions that feel elegant on the skin and carry the healing benefits of plants into the body. Emphasizing both technical precision and intuitive artistry, students will explore herbal infusions, essential oils, emulsification techniques, preservative use, and the creation of massage lotions tailored to specific skin types, body systems, or treatment goals. Each student will leave with a custom lotion, a foundational formula, and the confidence to craft healing touch into every blend.
