Vegetable Oils and the Skin

When we think of body, skin or hair care, we naturally think of vegetable oils. And with good reason! Emollient, rich in fatty acids, nutrients and antioxidants, they are indispensable allies for health and beauty. In the cosmetics industry, both conventional and organic, they form the basis of all creams, emulsions and skincare oils.

In this course, we’ll examine the composition and function of vegetable oils, as well as how to store them. We will then review the properties of certain oils and their suitability for specific skin types. Finally, at the end of the class, we’ll make a serum to put into practice what we’ve learned.

DATES:

Monday, June 2, 2025, 6 to 8:30 p.m.

COST: $65 (includes course notes and serum creation)
