Would you eat the cosmetics you use? Are you interested in delicious treats for your skin and hair? Do you want to make natural cosmetics with food you find in your own fridge? A lot of us put makeup on everyday without realizing that we put oil, silicone,​ aluminum and many other pollutants and poisons onto our hair and skin. Not only does this have a negative impact on our health​,​ but also on the environment. Therefore, we would like to introduce you to Skinfood, which is natural cosmetics and skin care products that are made from food that we can make at home. “I only put on my skin what I would also eat.”. With the Skinfood method, you are able to make facial toner, moisturizing lotion, skin cream and shower gel from your meal. Refreshing drinks and detox water can be made into deodorants and facial cleansers. You can also polish your teeth with an exotic spice mixture. What’s more? You can use leftovers​, e.g. coffee grounds and peels, as high-quality skinfood that you would otherwise have thrown away. In this workshop, you will learn about global issues such as plastic pollution, deforestation relating to palm oil, animal torture due to cosmetics testings, and much more! We will cook together, and at the same time, conjure up all kinds of cosmetics in just a few simple steps. And then we can indulge ourselves​,​ inside and out.
