Join us and Bethany Frazier, creator of Maven Made, as she leads you through a unique hands-on apothecary blending workshop to make your very own sugar scrub.

Exfoliation is a powerful skincare ritual to remove dead skin cells, brighten and smooth, but with hundreds of harsh chemical-based exfoliants in the market, we often cause more damage to our skin (and entire body). In this unique workshop, we’re diving into the power of natural and botanical ingredients, an open discussion on skin health (without that “natural wellness” elitism) and end with creating your own customized exfoliating scrub. From soft cane sugar to fruit extracts and bountiful oils, plant-based ingredients are not only pleasing to the nose, but also incredibly multidimensional to nourish the entire body. From stimulating the lymphatic system, boosting circulation, protecting skin and soothing muscles, Bethany will provide lots of interesting information on each ingredient for you to whip up something tailored just for you.

We’ll also provide healthy snacks, herbal tea, and a glass of wine or champagne.

Space is limited, so reserve your spot today!
