Learn to make a pH-balanced face cream and hyaluronic serum in a hands-on 2.5-hour workshop in Kailua. This practical class blends formulation basics, safety, and local botanical insight so you leave with usable products and the skills to repeat them.
Learn to make a pH-balanced face cream and hyaluronic serum in a hands-on 2.5-hour workshop in Kailua. This practical class blends formulation basics, safety, and local botanical insight so you leave with usable products and the skills to repeat them.
You step into a bright meeting room at Treehouse-Kailua; trade winds from nearby Kailua Bay thread through open windows and a faint salt tang lingers on the air. Tables are lined with glass beakers, botanical oils, and labels waiting to be handwritten. For the next 2.5 hours you'll be working with textures—creamy emulsions and a clear, tack-light hyaluronic serum—while the ocean outside quietly keeps time.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step into a bright meeting room at Treehouse-Kailua; trade winds from nearby Kailua Bay thread through open windows and a faint salt tang lingers on the air. Tables are lined with glass beakers, botanical oils, and labels waiting to be handwritten. For the next 2.5 hours you'll be working with textures—creamy emulsions and a clear, tack-light hyaluronic serum—while the ocean outside quietly keeps time.
Kailua sits beneath the jagged spine of the Koʻolau Range and fronts a shallow fringing reef; locals have long worked with plants from the land and sea, from kukui nut oil to coastal aloe. The workshop ties into that regional craft: instructors cover skin anatomy, the basics of emulsion chemistry, and safe sourcing of Hawaiian botanicals, all framed with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) tips.
The class is hands-on and technical enough to demystify why creams need emulsifiers and serums require pH balance, yet accessible if you’ve never blended oils before. You’ll make a compact face cream and a hyaluronic acid serum using non-synthetic actives and leave with labeled jars and a certificate.
Practical notes: arrive with clean hands, wear comfortable clothes that can tolerate a splash, and flag any allergies in advance. Expect a mix of demonstration and paired work—safety briefings, precise measurements, emulsifying with heat, and a group review at the end. This is a workshop for anyone curious about reducing chemicals in their routine and learning repeatable, lab-minded techniques for home formulation.
Yes — the workshop includes the cream and serum you formulate, plus labeled cosmetic packaging to bring them home.
No; the class is designed for beginners but includes enough technical detail to be useful for those with prior experience.
The instructor often incorporates Hawai‘i-sourced ingredients such as kukui or local extracts when available; specifics vary by session.
