Natural sun care workshop in Viseu at Atelier 7 Artes, a 2.5-hour hands-on session where you learn to make your own natural sun protection products and soothing after-sun care preparations using plant-based oils, butters, botanical extracts and minerals. Guided by Juliana D’Ara and rooted in the values of wellbeing, sustainability and conscious living that define Atelier 7 Artes, this workshop goes beyond the recipes and into a genuine understanding of skin health, the effects of sun exposure and how natural ingredients support the skin’s natural balance. All materials included and no prior experience needed.
The session combines theory and practical application throughout, covering the properties of each ingredient category used in natural sun care formulations, how to formulate sun protection and after-sun products safely and effectively, the importance of hydration and skin recovery after sun exposure and sustainable alternatives to conventional sun care products. Every product is practical and nourishing, designed for real use outdoors rather than as a decorative craft project. You leave with three finished products, recipes and formulation notes and the practical skills to keep making natural sun care independently at home.
