Natural body and lip balms workshop in Viseu at Atelier 7 Artes, a 2.5-hour hands-on session where you learn to formulate and make your own natural skincare products from scratch using plant oils, butters, waxes, botanical extracts and essential oils. Founded by Juliana D’Ara from a personal journey toward a healthier and more natural lifestyle, Atelier 7 Artes is a space where wellbeing, sustainability and natural living come together, and this workshop is a direct expression of that philosophy. You leave with a nourishing body balm, a moisturising lip balm, the recipes and formulation notes to recreate both at home and the knowledge to keep developing your own natural skincare independently.
The session moves through the fundamentals of natural cosmetic formulation in a practical and genuinely inspiring way. You learn the properties and benefits of each ingredient category, how plant oils, butters and waxes work to moisturise, protect and restore the skin, the role of essential oils in natural cosmetics and best practices for storage and shelf life. The formulations are personalised to your preferences throughout, giving every participant products that are adapted to their own skin and needs rather than following a single fixed recipe.
