During this workshop, you'll learn how to transform raw botanical ingredients into a nourishing balm that can be used as a solid perfume, moisturizer, or lip balm depending on how you choose to customize it.
We'll work with locally & sustainably produced Macadamia & Sunflower oils, raw Hawaiian Beeswax, and Fair Trade Shea & Cacao butters to produce the base for your balm.
Then we'll discuss botanical aromatics, and how to utilize their therapeutic benefits in your custom balms. You'll be able work from a vast selection of essential oils & plant extracts to build a unique fragrant blend for each formulation.
Select your crystals (Amethyst, Rose Quartz or Smoky Quartz) and watch how to set them perfectly for a dazzling finished product!
All ingredients, crystals, vessels & labels are provided to make 2 x 1 oz tins of custom balm. You can also take home a printed handout with key notes from the class.
Private workshops are held at the Indigo Elixirs apothecary in a private residence near Woodlawn Drive, Mānoa, Honolulu. Ample street parking is available and we are just a few minutes walk (up a small hill) from a #6 bus stop. Address & arrival info will be emailed after purchase.

I’ve taken three of Deanna’s classes and the incense and body oil one is super fun. You get to learn the technical stuff but also a little about scent building. If you want an in-depth scent building class I highly suggest the perfumery class. If you want to go further into turning oils into salves then I recommend the salves workshop. Any one you choose to enroll in, you’ll have a ton of fun!
This class was exactly what I've been wanting so I can make my own scents. Deanna is super knowledgeable about the subject and made the class fun and interactive. I would definitely take another class from her again!
The private workshop that Deanna ran was so much fun. I knew very little about plant extracts and oils, and Deanna was extremely knowledgeable of each oil, and showing us the process in which they are extracted from the plants. I highly suggest Deannas class if you are on Oahu for a few days and want something unique to do!
This was a fantastic experience! Deanna did a wonderful job educating us and making sure we picked scents that we liked. I would definitely recommend trying it! We loved the scents we got to take home and her product line items were also amazing! All around wonderful experience!
