Natural shampoo workshop in Viseu at Atelier 7 Artes, a 2.5-hour hands-on session dedicated to solid and liquid shampoos, guided by the values of natural living, sustainability and conscious self-care that define everything Juliana D’Ara has built at this Viseu studio. You learn to formulate and make both a solid shampoo bar and a liquid shampoo using carefully selected plant-based oils, botanical extracts, clays, essential oils and natural cleansing agents, with formulations personalised to your own hair type and preferences. All materials included and no prior experience needed.
The session combines theory and practical application throughout, covering the differences between solid and liquid shampoos, the properties of each ingredient category, how to understand and address different hair and scalp needs, and the principles of sustainable formulation including ingredient sourcing and natural alternatives to conventional hair care products.
