Hello! I'm Francesca, founder of Beauty by Francesca, and your guide to the wonderful world of natural skincare! As a certified soap maker and skincare formulator, I'm passionate about creating holistic products that nourish and pamper your skin.
My journey began eight years ago with a simple discovery: the power of natural, plant-based ingredients. I started crafting my own soaps and body butters at home, and the results were transformative. My skin felt healthier and more radiant than ever before. This experience ignited a spark, and Beauty by Francesca was born.
Now, I'm thrilled to share my knowledge and love for natural skincare through engaging workshops. Learn about the benefits of handmade products, craft your own nourishing creations, and discover the joy of using ingredients you can trust.
What I Offer:
DIY Skincare Workshops: Learn to make your own natural skincare
products using safe, effective ingredients.
Cold-Process Soapmaking Classes: Unveil the secrets of handcrafted
soap and create beautiful, pampering bars.
Private Workshops: Host a fun and educational experience for spa days, bridal showers, birthday parties, or team building events at your location, or bring the workshop to you with my mobile service!
Whether you're just curious about this process, or looking to take it up as a business, these classes can help you learn the ins and outs of soap-making and skincare formulations. Let's embark on a journey to healthy, glowing skin together!
