In Person: Lotion Lab: Cooling Gotu Kola — July 25th
Date: Saturday, July 25, 2026
Time: 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm MT
Instructor: Ashley Loza, Cosmetic Chemist & Herbalist
Step into a hands-on exploration of herbal skincare formulation, where traditional plant wisdom meets the art of emulsion making. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to transform pre-infused herbal oils into a rich, stable lotion by blending them with a water phase—demystifying the science behind creams while working with botanicals.
Together, we’ll focus on the featured topical herb, Gotu Kola, and its skin-supportive properties, including its ability to stimulate collagen synthesis. A soothing ally for summer skin, Gotu Kola offers both gentle nourishment and depth of study, and we’ll explore its complexities throughout the class. Along the way, you’ll gain a practical understanding of emulsification, ingredient function, and the foundational mechanisms behind lotion making.
All materials are provided. You’ll leave with your own 2 oz jar of handcrafted cream, along with the knowledge and confidence to continue creating herbal formulations at home.
Additional Info: 18+ unless accompanied by an adult. Materials are included in the class cost.
Maximum Number of Participants: 6
Class registration closes at 4:00 pm MT on Friday for weekend classes.
