Aromatherapy Body Butter Workshop in London

An aromatherapy body butter workshop is a simple thing: an hour and a half at a bench in East London, blending a body butter you will actually use. No lecture, no performance. You choose the oils, you make the butter, you take it home.

We run it at Yougi, in the same studio where we make everything else. It is a good way to spend an evening, and you leave with a jar of something you made by hand.

What happens at the body butter workshop

You work with natural ingredients: shea butter, a light carrier oil, and essential oils from our library. Your tutor takes you through what each one does, how texture and scent come together, and how to blend for the feel you want. Then you make your own 240ml body butter and carry it home.

The session runs for 90 minutes and costs £49. Everything on the bench is 100% natural, cruelty-free and made in the UK. Nothing synthetic, in the room or in the jar.

Why make your own

Shop-bought body cream is easy, but you rarely know what is in it. Here you do, because you put it there. You learn what the ingredients are and why they matter, you blend a scent that suits you rather than one chosen for a shelf, and the making itself is quietly settling: warm butter, a few oils, and an hour with your hands busy and your phone in your bag.

If you like to know the oils before you arrive, our oil library runs through each one, and you can take any of them home from our pure essential oils range.

Who it is for

It suits anyone building a calmer end to the day, anyone who reads the back of a bottle and wants to know what is in their skincare, and anyone after a present that is a little more thought through than most. People come alone, in pairs, and as groups. For birthdays, hen parties and team days, we also run private events.

The workshop is at our studio on Fashion Street, London E1, a small room a few steps off the noise of the city. Tea on arrival, an apron, a seat at the bench.

Make more than body butter

Body butter is one way in. You can also make a candle, a natural perfume, soap or a reed diffuser with us. The full list of Yougi workshops is here.

If you want a natural skincare workshop in London that is useful rather than performed, book your place on the body butter workshop, and take home something you will reach for at the end of the day.
