Rooted in Care: herbs, cosmetics and everyday wellbeing workshop
Cosmetics are part of our everyday life, and you're invited to learn more about them!
How can we better understand the ingredients used in cosmetics? What is worth paying attention to when exploring their properties and uses? What can herbs and plants teach us about personal care and wellbeing?
FYI: Did you know that in Europe 91% of people have a personal care routine, where 8+ products are used daily?(European Consumer Perception Study 2026). What does this number mean to you?
Join us for an educational, hands-on workshop exploring the connections between plants, cosmetic products, and everyday wellbeing. We will discover the role that herbs can play in personal care, learn about cosmetic raw materials, and explore how knowledge of herbs and soil ecosystems can help us better understand the natural world around us and its role in our wellbeing.
The evening includes presentations by Zugania, Pim, Louise and Anna, shared questions, and a hands-on activity, we will create space to explore this fascinating field together. Whether you are curious about herbs, interested in cosmetics (and innovation) or simply keen to learn more about the plants and materials around us, you are welcome to take part.
