Natural Skincare & Soap Making Workshops
Ditch the store-bought stuff and get your hands dirty. Whether you're in my Arakere studio or hosting a DIY party, we’re making everything from nourishing papaya soaps to custom perfumes.
Learn to make soap from fresh papaya pulp in this DIY journey. This poster has all the details for my cold-process soap making workshop at my studio in Arakere, Bangalore.
Another look at the Papaya to Soap workshop announcement. All materials are included, and you get to take home the beautiful, natural soap you create.
Curious about the benefits of papaya soap? It's a natural exfoliant, helps brighten skin, and is packed with vitamins. I love teaching people how to harness these benefits in their own handmade soap.
More details on why papaya is such a wonderful ingredient for skin. This is the kind of knowledge I share in my workshops, so you know exactly what you're putting on your skin and why.
For this summer special workshop, we'll be making refreshing Aloe-Cucumber soap from scratch. It's a hands-on class using fresh aloe vera and cucumber at my Bangalore studio.
From Avocado to Artisan Soap. This workshop focuses on making a deeply nourishing soap using fresh avocado. Limited spots are available for these hands-on sessions.
Thinking of a unique idea for a wedding, bridal shower, or baby shower? My live perfume bar is a beautiful experience where guests blend their own signature scent to take home. It's personal, interactive, and always a favorite.
About this collection
Whatever workshop you pick, you're not just watching—you’re doing. You’ll be using raw ingredients like fresh papaya pulp, shea butter, and essential oils to make your own batches. Whether it’s 500g of soap to take home or a signature perfume, the point is to walk away with something that smells like real plants, not chemicals. Just a heads up, it gets a bit messy, so wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little splash of oil on.
Hands-On Studio Workshops
If you want a dedicated creative escape, join me at my Arakere studio. These sessions are kept small—usually 4 to 8 people—so you get real attention while we work. Whether we're making soap from scratch with vegetable oils or blending massage candles with soy wax, you'll leave with your own stash to take home. Refreshments are on me, and you'll get a printed recipe card so you can recreate the magic in your own kitchen later.
Advanced Formulation Course
For those who want to get serious about skincare chemistry, this is the deep dive. We cover pH balancing, surfactant efficacy, and using lab-grade active ingredients like hydrolyzed silk proteins. It’s a 4-6 hour intensive, but you walk out with a full set of your own products and a certification. It's a great step if you're looking to start your own little venture or just want to truly master what you're putting on your skin.
DIY Stations for Events
Planning a wedding, birthday, or corporate offsite? I bring the workshop to you. We set up interactive bars—think perfume blending stations with amber glass vials, or soap stations where guests mix their own scents. It’s interactive and usually ends up being the highlight of the event. I provide the staff, the botanical ingredients, and the packaging so your guests leave with a party favor they actually want to use.
Bath & Being
I’m Pooja, and I swapped my 9-to-5 so I could spend my days smelling like lavender instead of stress. I believe handmade things carry a soul that mass-produced stuff just can't touch, and I love teaching you how to tap into that same therapeutic joy.
