This interactive sensory workshop at the Protein Agency Studio examined our attitudes to food waste. The compost box became a treasure chest of potential fragrant and holistic materials. Compost Cosmetics revealed ways to transform discarded skins, seeds, peel, stalks, coffee grounds and hulls. Participants left with new recipes for beauty products and a renewed perception of what is useful or precious.
We learnt about capturing fragrant and holistic properties through tincturing, hydrosols (water infusions), oil macerations and balms. Each participant then had the chance to prepare their own natural face balm or body balm. scrub or toner.
