Workshop bookings are non-refundable. If you cannot attend, we will do our best to move you to another date: email info@yougilondon.com at least seven days before your slot. If you are ill or something comes up at the last minute, email us anyway and we will talk through your options.

The class

You make a 240ml body butter from scratch: shea, coconut and mango seed butters, sweet almond oil, a little vitamin E. The scent comes first: you smell the calming essential oils and build a blend of your own, drop by drop. Then the butter, whisked by hand until it thickens and holds. 90 minutes at the Fashion Street studio, with a Yougi host at the table throughout. You leave with the pot, and the recipe to make it again when it runs low. No experience needed.
