Backyard Apothecary with Pamsie Co.

Herbal Facial Serum & Herbal Bug Spray

Learn how to craft two everyday herbal staples in this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop: an organic herbal bug spray and an infused botanical face serum.

We’ll begin by exploring the plants themselves - lavender, yarrow, rosemary, sage, lemongrass, vanilla, rose, calendula, chamomile, green tea, and blue tansy - and how each herb supports either skin nourishment or gentle, plant-based insect repelling. You’ll learn about foundational ingredients like jojoba oil, squalane oil, witch hazel, and essential oils, and why they pair beautifully with herbal infusions.

Step-by-step, you’ll create your own herbal bug spray using witch hazel and botanical extracts, then craft a thoughtfully blended face serum infused with calming, skin-loving herbs. Along the way, we’ll cover infusion basics, safe essential oil use, shelf life, and simple ways to incorporate these products into your daily routine.

All materials provided. You will go home with one handcrafted bottle of herbal bug spray and one infused herbal face serum, plus the knowledge and confidence to recreate them on your own.

No previous experience needed.
