HEADS UP
👩🔬 Featured Event: Register now for May 17’s Blend, Glow & Sip.
Space is limited!
Join cosmetic chemist and Petal + Hive (510 Broadway) owner Jillian Ehrenberg at the lab bench to see what it’s actually like to formulate skincare from scratch. May 17’s Blend, Sip & Glow features two custom small-batch serums.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll watch the formulas come together in real time while learning why certain ingredients are chosen, how textures and skin feel are adjusted, and what separates a thoughtfully formulated product from a generic one.
As you work through the process, Ehrenberg will talk about ingredients, formulation decisions, and what to look for when evaluating skincare products for yourself. This is not a DIY craft class — it’s a real look inside the formulation process in a setting that’s approachable, social and fun.
At the end of the workshop, bottle up your work — you’ll take home full-size, ready-to-use skincare products.
