Herbal Cosmetics Experience
This experience is rooted in plants, touch, and time.
It is an invitation to reconnect with simple, traditional ways of caring for the body — using herbs, olive oil, beeswax, and patience.
We move slowly, learning by observing, preparing, and creating with our hands.
Walking the Herb Garden
The experience begins outdoors, with a walk through the herb garden and the surrounding land.
We take time to observe and speak about the plants — how they grow, when they are harvested, and how they have traditionally been used in everyday care.
The focus is not on memorizing information, but on understanding relationships: plant, season, body, and intention.
Herbal Infusions & Oils
Participants are introduced to the process of preparing herbal infusions and herbal oils, using dried or fresh plants and olive oil as a base.
We talk through the different methods, timing, and simple principles behind infusing plants gently and effectively — allowing their qualities to be transferred into oil, without unnecessary complexity.
These infused oils form the foundation for what follows.
Creating Natural Cosmetics
Using the herbal preparations, participants are guided through the creation of simple, plant-based cosmetics.
Depending on the season and flow of the day, this may include:
a traditional beeswax and olive oil balm
olive oil soap made with extra virgin olive oil
light, water-based creams
Each step is explained slowly and clearly, allowing space for questions, observation, and hands-on practice.
No prior experience is required.
Taking Your Creations With You
All items created during the experience are prepared by the participants themselves and are taken home at the end of the day.
These are practical, usable objects — made with care, meant to be used and remembered, rather than stored.
Practical Notes
The Herbal Cosmetics Experience is offered as a guided, small-group experience.
It takes place upon request and is arranged through direct communication.
The experience can be part of a day visit or combined with a longer stay at the farm.
