As part of trade pathway explorations, the Year 11 Hair & Beauty and Food & Hospitality students recently visited Vasse Virgin, an all-natural and handmade soap and skin care business located on the grounds of the Seppeltsfield Winery. Students have been looking at the relationship between local communities and businesses.
Participating in a Lip Balm Workshop using natural ingredients, including honey, shea butter, beeswax, and olive oil, students were learning the science behind the process, by weighing, measuring, and blending ingredients to produce their own products to take home.
Vasse Virgin hand craft natural skincare with Australian extra virgin olive oil in an open factory where visitors can view production, participate in hands-on workshops, and learn of the benefits of natural and therapeutic products.
