per personThe workshop in detail
Enter Eva and Francesco's workshop and discover the basics of aromatherapy.
You will start by learning the production methods of essential oils, their biochemical specificities, their properties, benefits and toxicities. After this first theoretical part, you will go on to practice! You will prepare 2 roll-ons, to be chosen among a dozen formulas: anti-stress, SOS blemish, against headache, muscle pain, SOS haematoma (for children), motion sickness, etc. You weigh and mix the ingredients before putting them in a 10ml glass bottle.
The result? Products to take with you everywhere, which will surprise you with their effectiveness!
This workshop is offered in French and English simultaneously. Eva and Francesco will adapt the language of the workshop according to the participants present.

Meet Eva & Francesco
Soap Makers
Meet Francesco, a pharmacist by profession. His favourite activities? Blackberry and mushroom picking. And then there's Eva, a toxicology specialist with an MA in biomedical sciences, who's passionate about beekeeping, chocolate making and deciphering text on labels.
They met at uni when they were both involved in 2 "kot" projects (a theme-based flat-share scheme): the Coqueli'kot with its ecological focus and the Chef'kot with a culinary aim. They quickly got into the habit of analysing the contents of their plate... and it was only natural that they did the same for their bathroom products. That's when their great adventure began: why not make their own soap?
They pooled their scientific knowledge (pharmacy and toxicology, which helps!) and made their first cold-pressed soap. Happy with the results, they went on to make shampoos, serums and scrubs that became a huge hit with their families and friends. They then put their professional careers on hold and headed off to explore the world and learn more about other cultures! A year of globe-trotting gave rise to the serious idea of producing cosmetics that are environmentally friendly and kind to skin.
Their company was launched in 2016. It's 100% locally-focused, using products made in Belgium and distributed in Belgium!Ā
Today, Francesco and Eva will welcome you to a huge, beautiful workshop! There is a manufacturing area, a workshop area and a sales/shop area.
