About DIY Skincare Workshops & Event Stations
Handcrafting skincare is more about feeling good than just looking good. I run workshops and DIY stations to help you slow down, use your hands, and make something real for yourself. Mass-produced stuff feels soulless to me, so I keep things personal, creative, and a little wild.
What You Can Expect
- Two ways to join in: hands-on studio workshops or a live DIY bath and body party setup at your event.
- Workshops are chill, no-pressure, and all about learning. You can come solo, bring your friends, or even plan a date that’s way better than dinner.
- At events, I set up interactive event favor stations where guests make their own goodies—always a hit for birthdays, weddings, or office parties.
What We Make
- Custom soap making class with fresh ingredients like avocado, papaya, or even red wine.
- Botanical perfume blending experience where you mix your own scent.
- Other crowd-faves: massage candles, bath salts, sugar scrubs, rich body butters, and lip balms.
My Ingredients
- Always natural: shea and mango butters, cold-pressed oils, fruit pulps, Kasturi Manjal (wild turmeric), and pure essential oils.
- No fake fragrances or sketchy chemicals.
Where I Work
- Studio in Arakere, Bangalore for workshops.
- I’ll set up anywhere in Bangalore, plus I travel to places like Hyderabad and Goa for special gigs.
Not gonna lie, it gets messy but that’s honestly half the fun.

My Story
Hey, I’m Pooja – the chaos, calm, and coconut oil behind Bath & Being. I ditched my 9-to-5 so my workspace could smell like lavender, not stress. My Ajji still buys my stuff to gift her friends, and honestly, that’s my proudest flex. Started with one burner in my kitchen, now we’ve got thousands of candles out there. Handmade is my love language, even if some days it’s just me, my tears, and a stubborn emulsifier.
My Work
Handmade botanical skincare, gifting & workshops - We make earthy oils, sensual textures, and run DIY soap making workshops for all ages.
Nature’s pantry only - I use mango butter, Wild Turmeric, and only real essential oil blends. No fake stuff, ever.
DIY stations for events - You can mix, melt, and make your own lip balms or candles at our DIY stations. Super fun, lowkey therapy.
Eco-friendly gifting hampers - Customized massage candle gifts, hampers for bridesmaids, or mindful wraps in reused sarees. Always beautiful, always eco-friendly.
