Herb Nerd

Join me in class tomorrow, Saturday March 21st from 10-1 (and possibly then some) for Beginners Lotions & Creams!

I have been developing organic, botanical skin and body care products for the past 16 years, I have moved from maker to formulator and I believe anyone can do what I do. Whether you want to learn this craft for your own homemade products or you’re interested in starting your own topical product business this class is the perfect place to start.

We’ll discuss good manufacturing practices, ingredient research and you’ll walk away with two solid formulas, a cream, and a lotion to produce your own artisanal creations.

Even if you can’t attend the live class tomorrow or can only come for part of it. I still encourage you to sign up because every registrar will receive the video recording of the class links to the step-by-step formulation videos and all of the handout slide decks, etc.

Live online class survey!
As I’ve been sharing about the live classes I’ve been teaching lately, I’m receiving a lot of requests to offer these as live ONLINE classes. Let’s do it! But I need your help; in order to provide you with the content you want most, please help me by clicking the link in my bio to take a short survey asking you about your availability and the subject matter you are most interested in learning. Thank you and I hope to see you in one of my live classes soon!

🗓 Tuesday, December 16 · 10 AM–1 PM

Join me for a cozy, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn to transform herbs + oils into beautiful, botanical body care, perfect for heart-felt holiday gifts or nourishing self-care.

What you’ll make:
• A 4 oz jar of herbal oil infusion to finish at home
• A 1 oz bottle of silky herbal body oil
• A handmade lip balm + salve

Whether you’re new to herbalism or just love handmade, thoughtful gifts. All materials provided, no experience needed. I’ll walk you through every step, share my favorite herbs for soothing & restoring skin, and help you connect creatively with the season’s plants.

Link to sign-up in bio 💚 Spots are limited — would be lovely to see you there.

✨ COURSE + CONSULTING SESSION GIVEAWAY ✨

Herbal entrepreneurs, beauty makers, and home-lab formulators 🥼 this one’s for you.
I’m giving away 1 hour of private consulting + full access to my Formula Building Blocks course, my cosmetic-chemistry foundations training for botanical formulators.

I created this course after realizing how impossible it was to find education focused on cosmeceutical ingredients and herbal actives without the help of a cosmetic chemist. So my chemist friend and I built the course we wish we’d had — and it has since been used by Botnia (a local natural beauty success story) to train their manufacturing team.

If you’re newer to formulating, your 1:1 session can be used to get you fully set up and confident before you dive in.
If you’re more advanced, we can use the hour for formula refinement, compliant copy, research + substantiation, product development… whatever helps you move forward.
